Below I will teach you a simple method to make a cake. The resulting cake will be light, soft and very delicious.
Utensils needed: egg beater, oven.
Ingredients preparation (for 6-8 people): 8 eggs, separate egg whites and egg yolks; 190 grams of white sugar; 95 grams of flour; 55 grams of cornstarch; 45 grams of butter, melted; vanilla essence. Steps: Step 1: Prep
Heat the oven.
?Set the oven temperature to about 160 degrees Celsius, as shown in the picture below.
Step 2: Mix the egg yolks as shown in the picture below.
?Put the egg yolks into a mixing bowl and stir with a whisk at high speed until the egg yolks become creamy.
After a minute, add about 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Continue whisking for a few minutes until the yolks thicken.

?Continue mixing until the volume is doubled.
Then turn off the beater and pour the beaten egg yolks into another bowl.
Step 4: Clean the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in preparation for whipping egg whites.
At this time, make sure that the whisk attachment and bowl are very clean, as shown in the picture below.
Otherwise, any fat still sitting on these utensils will have a negative impact on whisking the egg whites.
Make sure these things are not sticky when dripping oil or refer to the "tips" to solve the problem.
Step 5: Beat the egg whites.
Place the egg whites into a mixing bowl and beat on high speed until white and frothy, as shown in the picture below.
At this time, slowly add sugar in batches.
The egg whites are ready when they stick to the whisk attachment and do not drip down, as shown in the picture below.
At this time, turn off the egg beater.
Step 6: Mix the egg yolks and egg whites.
?Now add the egg yolk to the egg white as shown in the picture below.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the egg yolks into the beaten egg whites, turning them over as you go, but don't stir too much.
Step 7: Mix the batter.
?Next, add the flour and cornstarch to the egg mixture.
First, mix the flour and cornstarch in a sieve.
Use your hands to slowly sift them into the egg mixture as shown in the picture below.
Sifted flour adds air to the cake, making it lighter.
Toss again to combine but don't over mix.
Then add the melted butter to the egg batter.
Step 8: Bake.
?Use a rubber spatula to scrape the egg batter into a baking sheet lined with paper, as shown in the picture below.
Smooth the surface of the egg batter with a rubber spatula and shake the baking pan slightly to allow air bubbles to escape, as shown in the picture below.
Place the egg batter into the oven and bake as shown in the picture below.
Step 9: Take out the cake.
?After about 30 minutes, insert a bamboo/wooden chopstick into the center of the cake, take it out and see if there is egg paste (egg liquid mixture) sticking around it, as shown in the picture below.
If not, the cake is done.
Step 10: Set it aside to cool and then remove it from the baking pan as shown in the picture below.
Step 11: After the cake has cooled completely, take a sharp knife and cut a circle around the perimeter of the cake, as shown in the picture below.
Step 12: Remove the cake from the baking pan as shown in the picture below.
Now it can be frosted (frosted) or filled with jam (jelly), cream and other fillings.
Step 13: Okay, we are done, we can look at our work, as shown in the picture below.
Summarizing some tips (remember to read it (#^.^#)) Eating suggestions: The cake can be eaten directly, or it can be used as the base for many different layered cakes, such as adding mayonnaise, cream, fruit, etc. on top.
Remedy for not washing your mixing bowl thoroughly before whisking egg whites: Halve a lemon and use it to wipe the bowl.
The citric acid of fresh lemons can break down the grease in the mixing bowl.
Use two or more cakes to create a layered cake.
If you are good at mixing egg liquid, double or triple the ingredients according to the recipe.
Otherwise, make cakes one by one according to the recipe, ensuring each cake is light and fluffy.
When you're done, make sure you enjoy your meal.
You'll think it tastes better if you share it with your friends.
