The spread of western pastry and cake baking in China, I think, is definitely an improvement just for the quality of breakfast. Cake baking is an invisible magician. With a crisp sound, the fragrance overflowed and filled the whole room. Everyone is immersed in it, even if you close your eyes and take a deep breath, the gas field will be contaminated by this delicious smell in an instant. The most essential things in cake baking are all kinds of vegetable oils that we often talk about, such as: unsalted butter, light cream, whipped cream, cream cheese, yellow cream, meat oil, all kinds of cooking oil ... There are a lot of these oils in cake baking, unsalted butter, whipped cream and meat oil. Don't be silly, don't be confused! Therefore, if you want to learn baking, you have to learn the oil in cake baking.
Salt-free butter, whipped cream, yellow cream
When watching some grassland movies or TV series, it is often seen that some old people stir a large jar of fresh milk with a wooden pestle and then separate out white solids. This solid oil is named whipped cream because it is extracted from fresh milk. In China, the technology of obtaining butter by nomadic people is becoming more and more perfect. Later, this technology spread to Europe and was well studied by western countries. Therefore, the fresh cream obtained from fresh milk is white in color and has a strong fresh flavor. Westerners call this white whipped cream salt-free butter. Strictly speaking, unsalted butter and cream are exactly the same substance.
Whipped cream, whipped cream, whipped cream, vegetable cream.
Before talking about these four different names of cake baking vegetable oil, let's talk about "cake cream". They all know each other and win every battle. Birthday cakes first spread to China, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, the reliability of whipped cream on the surface of birthday cake was much higher than that of today's birthday cake. In fact, it used "plant cream", so birthday cake was also called "cake cream". The so-called vegetable cream is a chemical substance similar to fresh cream synthesized from edible oil, some animal oils and condiments. Strictly speaking, vegetable cream should belong to the category of oil. Vegetable cream is widely used in the surface cake decoration of the original birthday cake because of its strong plasticity, easy wearing and sweet taste.
After that, this birthday cake was gradually replaced by a healthier, more fragrant, more delicious and more nutritious animal "light cream". This most popular birthday cake was originally called "milk cake" because it was decorated with animal "whipped cream". So this title is not correct, it should be called "fresh cake cream". Don't underestimate the difference between these two words. This is a matter of principle.
Cream, also known as whipped cream and thin cream, is "cream" in English. Therefore, whipped cream, whipped cream and whipped cream are three different names for the same substance, and they are exactly the same animal and vegetable oil. The fat rate of whipped cream is 30-36%, and a certain amount of sugar is added. After eating, it is designed as the surface decoration of birthday cake for cake decoration. Bring your own whipped cream without sugar, and add a certain amount of sugar when eating. After eating, it is not only used for the surface decoration design of birthday cakes, but also widely used in western-style cakes such as ice cream, thousand-layer cakes and cheesecakes. Sometimes whipped cream can be added directly to toast and toast bread, making the material of toast bread very delicate.
Cheese, cream cheese and cream cheese, cream cheese
Cheese, alias cheese, is a fermented dairy product. Its English name is cheese, transliteration is "cream cheese". So cheese is a transliteration of cheese, which is exactly the same as dry dairy products. When it comes to cheese (cream cheese), everyone has to mention a famous fairy tale fable: Whomovedmycheese? Translated, it means "Who moved my cheese?" The sweet and beautiful dairy chemical in short stories is cheese. Cheese is a fermented product of milk and a dry concentrate. Generally, one kilogram of cheese can only be extracted from more than ten kilograms of milk. There are dozens of kinds of cheese (cream cheese) at home and abroad, with everything, originality and dazzling. The focus here is on a kind of cheese, that is, Spanish MozzarellaCheese, which is the main raw material for making pizza and the only cheese product that can be frozen.
lard
Meat oil is widely used in baking new Chinese cakes. It is animal vegetable oil extracted from human fat of pigs, also known as lard and animal oil. According to the location of commonly used human body fat, it is divided into suet and intestinal oil. Slab oil is the block animal oil in the abdominal cavity of pigs, and it is the best lard. After extraction, it is widely used in Chinese dim sum making, which plays a key role in Castrol sauce. For example, sesame glutinous rice balls, chrysanthemum cakes, moon cakes with thousand layers of crispy skin, baked crispy skin ... Intestinal oil refers to the subcutaneous edge of pork and other fat parts of pigs with high fat. In the past, after everyone's refineries became lard, cooking was particularly fragrant. If you want to buy this kind of raw pork, you have to find a side door and a relationship to buy it. It can be said that things are different and the world is cold.
edible oil
Edible oil is also a common vegetable oil, and everyone is familiar with it. Here, I will focus on the edible oil widely used in cake baking. There is a standard for the use of cooking oil in cake baking, that is, tasteless cooking oil must be used. Too thick cooking oil, such as cooking oil, is not suitable for cake baking, and it is very easy to dilute the natural flavor of snacks. Corn oil and edible olive oil are widely used in cake baking.
