I have been busy working on my first eBook entitled “Dim Sum & Desserts” for the past few months. Very happy that it is in the final proofreading now, soon it will be released. Here is the cover for the eBook, do you like it?
Time flies, I can’t believe that maomaomom.ca is turning ONE pretty soon as a bilingual blog. Thank YOU all for your continuous support. I will have a giveaway of InstantPot electric pressure cooker (my favorite pressure cooker) as a small token of my appreciation, starting on this coming Sunday, June 9th at 2 PM. Please come by and join me to celebrate.
【Magic Cake】
by MaomaoMom
When I saw this cake at jocooks.com, its name intrigued me. It’s amazing that only one batter turns into a three-layered cake, with a layer of custard in the middle! The trick for this cake is to make the batter very thin, similar to a crepe batter. I have modified the original recipe with less butter and sugar, and it turned out great.
Prepare time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes
Level: Medium
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients:
1: 4 extra large egg whites, ½ tsp white vinegar (or 1/3 tsp cream of tartar), ¼ cup sugar (60g);
2: 4 extra large egg yolks, ¼ cup sugar (60g);
3: 1/3 cup butter melted, 1 tsp vanilla extract;
4: 3/4 cup +1 tbsp cake & pastry flour (110g);
5: 2 cups lukewarm milk (478g);
6: 1 tsp butter, softened;
7: 2 tbsp icing sugar.
Directions:
1: Preheat oven at 310F/155C. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with 1 tsp butter and set aside.
2: Separate eggs into two clean and dry mixing bowls (Picture 1). Add white vinegar to egg whites and beat with a handheld mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Then add ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff (Picture 2).
4: Slowly add warm milk (Picture 7) and beat at low speed until well mixed (Picture 8). Add 1/3 of the beaten egg white into the yolk and flour mixture (Picture 9) and fold with a spatula until mixed. Then pour it back to the remaining 2/3 of the beaten egg whites (Picture 10). Gently fold with a spatula to mix very well (Picture 11).
5: Pour the batter into a 8 x 8-inch buttered Pyrex baking dish (Picture 12). Bake in the preheated oven at 310 F/155C for 55-60 minutes until surface turns light golden.
I enjoy the efforts you have put in this, thanks for all the great blog posts.
Hey, you used to write fantastic, but the last several posts have been kinda boring… I miss your tremendous writings. Past few posts are just a little out of track! come on!
I needed to put you one very small observation to be able to thank you very much once again for these stunning guidelines you’ve documented at this time. It’s so particularly generous with you to grant publicly all that most of us would’ve marketed for an ebook to help make some dough on their own, precisely since you could have done it in case you considered necessary. The techniques in addition acted to become easy way to be sure that other individuals have the same zeal really like my own to figure out a good deal more on the topic of this matter. I am certain there are thousands of more enjoyable periods up front for folks who examine your blog post.
I respect your piece of work, thankyou for all the good articles.
