Overview

Baking is a high-end thing. Although it also uses eggs and flour, the cake is much more powerful than the scallion pancake. But baking is a trivial and difficult task. You need to master the proportions, control the temperature, and purchase molds. At least you must have an oven. This alone makes us amateurs who like Ye Gong shy away. But all this is nothing in front of our versatile enamel cast iron pot. Today we will teach you how to bake cakes in an enamel cast iron pot, making it easy for you.

  4. Put the separated egg white liquid in a dry vessel and beat it with a whisk. During the process, add the remaining 50g of white sugar in three batches (beat the egg white until it is creamy and can have corners when lifted, and at the same time, turn the vessel over so that no egg white drips).

  5. Stir the creamy egg whites and egg yolk slurry three times to form a cake puree (please pay special attention here: add 1/3 of the creamy egg whites to the egg yolk slurry for the first time and stir evenly, add 1/3 of the creamy egg whites for the second time and mix well, and pour the mixed egg yolk slurry back into the remaining 1/3 of the creamy egg whites for the third time, stir the egg whites and egg yolk slurry evenly in a cross motion, do not stir with rotation~).

  8. Cover the pot and simmer on minimum heat for 7 minutes. Do not open the lid after turning off the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes. (After the cake is completed, you can use a toothpick to lightly prick the center of the cake. If there is no cake pulp left on the toothpick, the soft and oven-free version of the cake is done)
