Author＼Charlene Chicken cake is Robbie's favorite after-school snack. Every time I eat it with him, it always brings back my childhood memories.
Even if I am a mother-in-law, every time I return to Taiwan and pass by a night market food stall, I smell the aroma of chicken cakes and custard from afar, and I can’t help but stop and buy a big pack for fun!
Not long ago, I invited my two best friends, Ivy & Judy, to visit my home with their children. I didn’t have any fancy ingredients at hand, so I had to conjure up cakes to please their two lovely babies. Unexpectedly, the two mothers tasted them completely useless.
Feeling soft, I quickly asked if I could share the recipe.
Chicken cake is actually a small snack that can be easily made by every household. The ingredients are very simple and are readily available. It takes five minutes to prepare the ingredients, mix everything evenly, and then bake and eat it. There is no skill required at all!
You don’t even have an egg cake machine, so if you want to fry it in a pan, it’s OK!
(I like to squeeze out the batter to form a circle of crispy pancakes around the edge of the cake. Is anyone as bored as me? Haha) Ingredients: 1. 70g low-gluten flour 2. 15g sweet potato powder (Actually, I tried corn flour, tree flour
Potato flour can be used, but sweet potato flour makes the skin crispier) 3. 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder 4. 60g caster sugar 5. 1 egg 6. 85cc milk 7. 20g melted unsalted butter 8. 1 vanilla extract
tsp. *If you don’t want to use baking powder and can’t buy aluminum-free baking powder, you can consider using 1/3 tsp baking soda + 2/3 tsp cream of tartar and mix well to replace it. *It depends on the individual.
Depending on the taste and the age of the baby, reduce the sugar to 20g, and the cream can also be reduced to 10g, which is more suitable for children^^ *Friends often ask me, can I not add vanilla extract?
In fact, the main purpose of vanilla extract is to cover up the eggy smell and increase the flavor. It is relatively simple to cover up the eggy smell, and the same effect can be achieved by using the same amount of lemon juice.
But there is no substitute for adding flavor. Of course, you can still make it successfully without adding it, but it will taste less flavorful.
Think about it, if vanilla ice cream is not added with vanilla, it will have a sweet milk flavor without any characteristics.
Vanilla extract actually uses an alcohol solution to dissolve the aroma of natural vanilla seeds. You can achieve this effect by making your own vanilla extract or vanilla sugar!

) 3. Mix everything together and mix evenly to form a powder-free batter 4. Preheat the egg cake machine until the temperature reaches the temperature and the indicator light goes out * If you don’t have an egg cake machine, you can also use a waffle machine (I use a special American one)
A machine for making cake pops).
