donut cake
Overview
Today’s cake uses the French split egg cake method. In other words, it is a split-egg sponge cake. Because it is oil-free and low in sugar, it is especially suitable for children. I used a mini donut mold and a hemispherical mold, so the shape is very popular with children. If you don’t have these two molds, you can use other non-stick molds, or you can make them into cupcakes.

Ingredients
Steps
-
All materials are ready
-
Separate the egg whites and egg yolks, and put the egg whites into a large bowl without oil and water
-
Add 10 grams of sugar to the egg yolks
-
Use a hand mixer to beat the eggs until the color becomes lighter and the sugar dissolves, then set aside
-
Use an electric egg beater to beat the egg whites into rough foam, then add about 8 grams of sugar and beat at medium speed
-
When the mixture reaches fine white peaks, add about 8 grams of sugar and continue to beat at medium speed
-
When the mixture reaches fine peaks and obvious lines appear, add the remaining sugar and continue to beat at medium speed
-
Lift the whisk head until the egg whites form slightly curved corners
-
Take one-third of the egg white batter and fold it into the egg yolk batter
-
Use a hand mixer to mix well
-
Pour the mixed egg batter back into the egg white batter
-
Mix well
-
Mix the low-gluten flour and cornstarch and sift into the egg batter
-
Use a spatula to stir evenly from bottom to top until it becomes a fine cake batter
-
Put an appropriate amount of cake batter into a piping bag and squeeze it into a mini donut mold until it is 90% full. Brush the mold with a layer of vegetable oil in advance and sprinkle with flour so that it can be easily released from the mold
-
Put in the middle rack of the preheated oven, 180 degrees, heat up and down, about 12 minutes
-
After taking it out of the oven, let it dry for two minutes and then unmold
-
When the first pan is about to come out of the oven, squeeze the remaining cake batter into a hemispherical mold. The mold also needs to be brushed with a layer of vegetable oil and sprinkled with flour
-
Place in the middle rack of the preheated oven, heat up and down at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, then remove from the mold when it is warm
-
It’s quite cute
-
It’s also fun to eat
-
When the two hemispheres are put together, at first glance I thought they were macarons
-
Break one off and taste it. It’s soft and has some chewy texture
