Tools that need to be prepared: 1. Electric egg beater (a special one will do, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. If you use it manually, it will be crippled, so it is not recommended to try) 2. Kitchen scale (either electronic or scaled will do, if you want to

Just buy an electronic one in one step, after all, the scale is not very accurate) 3. A clean large basin 4. Flour sieve 5. Rubber spatula 6. Measuring spoon or measuring cup 7. Cake mold 8. Bread machine or oven (online method

Almost without exception, the recipe is for the oven. Since there is only a bread machine at home, today you can see sponge cakes made with a bread machine for the first time).

Ingredients (this is the amount for a 6-inch cake, please increase or decrease in proportion according to the size of your mold): 1. Eggs: 3 (if small, 4) 2. Sugar: 45 grams 3. Low-gluten flour: 60 grams 4

, Oil: 25ml (salad oil or olive oil will work. Some recipes on the Internet will say that olive oil cannot be used. In fact, I tried it and couldn’t taste any special taste at all. It is convenient for us to make it ourselves. The oil is used for cooking at home.

That’s it, you don’t have to buy oil to make cakes.) Do you think the ingredients are very simple?

Let’s talk about the production process below, with pictures and facts: Step 1: Add eggs (whole eggs) and sugar into a basin. Remember that the basin must be a large, clean basin without water or oil, otherwise it will directly affect the final whipping effect.

The second step is to beat the eggs with an electric egg beater.

I started with the 1st gear, then switched to the 2nd gear to quickly beat it, and finally returned to the 1st gear.

It seems that whole eggs cannot be beaten into dry foam. As long as they are like cream as shown in the picture, the lines drawn by the egg beater will not disappear immediately.

Beating the eggs is the only time-consuming and labor-intensive thing in the entire production process, but it only takes about 15 minutes.

In the third step, sift the flour into the egg batter twice. Remember to mix well after the first sift and then sift in the remaining flour.

Never stir in circles, but use a spatula to stir from bottom to top to prevent the egg paste from quickly defoaming.

Step 4: Add 25ml of oil to the cake batter and mix well.

Step 5: Pour the mixed cake batter into the cake mold.

Here I used a 6-inch live-bottom mold. For the first time, I directly used the bread bucket that comes with the bread machine. I took out the mixing knife and it still works.

You can shake it a few times to smooth out the bubbles on the surface.

Step 6: Preheat the oven or bread machine. If you put the mold into the bread machine, choose a light color and wait for 35 to 40 minutes.

Personally, I don’t think it needs to go to 40 minutes. I just set it like this first, but it actually turned off when it reached 37 minutes.

If you use the bread bucket that comes with the bread machine, 35 minutes is probably enough. Because the bread bucket is closer to the heating pipe at the bottom, the temperature will be higher. I used the bread bucket to bake for 40 minutes before, and it seemed a bit too much.

.

Therefore, you should closely observe the condition of the cake after 35 minutes. If you find that the upper layer that was thrown up before begins to shrink, it is almost done.

Then you can insert a toothpick into it and see if it comes out without any cake batter sticking to it, it means it's done.

If you are using an oven, it is recommended to set the temperature at 150 degrees, the lower level, for 20 to 25 minutes (this is based on the online reference, I have not practiced it myself, so you should try it yourself). After taking it out, shake it vigorously on the countertop a few times.

Let the air out to avoid shrinkage.

Then invert the mold onto the grill and let cool.

I don’t have an oven, so the grill in the picture actually comes with the microwave. Haha, you must have such a long-forgotten tool at home.
