Finally, the water and oil are mixed into a homogeneous emulsion. The emulsified egg yolk paste can reduce the separation of oil and water, increase the foaming power and make the volume bigger. Mixed with the batter, it can serve to make the texture of the cake become fluffy and soft, making the cake more delicate and soft. Can also make the baking process of water to reduce the loss of moisture, so that the product is more moist and delay aging
