The first step: It is best to use a mold specially made for making cakes. If you do not have a professional mold, you can also use a basin instead.
Apply a thin layer of salad oil to the bottom and sides of the mold.
Tip: After applying a layer of salad oil, the cake will be easy to take out.
Step 2: Place a piece of baking paper on the bottom of the pan, and then apply a small amount of oil on the baking paper.
Step 3: Take a clean container and beat five egg whites into it. Beat it with chopsticks until it forms a foam. Use chopsticks to lightly pick up the foam and it will settle, indicating that the egg whites have been beaten (if you have an electric egg beater at home, use an electric egg beater.
Just let it sit for about 1 minute).
Step 4: Add 100g of white sugar and continue to beat the egg whites. Use an electric egg beater to beat for about 30 seconds. Then the white sugar will be completely melted. At this time, put the five egg yolks separated into a basin and continue to beat for about 30 seconds.
Then beat everything evenly.
Step 5: After the egg liquid is beaten evenly, add 120g of low-gluten flour and stir quickly with chopsticks. Finally, pour in 2 tablespoons of salad oil and continue to stir evenly.
Note that at this time, just stir the batter evenly. There is no need to use an electric egg beater to beat it for a long time.
The oil should be added last so that the batter can be mixed more evenly.
Step 6: Pour half of the batter into the mold that has been previously brushed with salad oil and shake the batter evenly with both hands.
Tip: At this time, you can add ingredients according to your own taste, such as bean paste, date puree, and nuts.
If you put in a variety of fillings, be careful to put the fillings as evenly as possible so that every piece of cake you eat can have different fillings.
Step 7: Spread the other half of the batter evenly on top of the filling. Note that the batter needs to be spread a little lighter this time so that the baked cake filling can be evenly distributed.
Step 8: Place the batter in the mold into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, the deliciously baked cake will be ready.
