4 egg yolks
70g cake flour
Group C
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
50g caster sugar
1 tsp corn flour
Directions
- prepare 6" x 3" round mould with removable bottom (do not use non-stick, don't grease or put parchment paper)
- pre-heat oven to 180°C top heat only!
- in a stainless steel bowl, heat Group A together using low fire till butter melted and it is evenly mixed with the syrup
- remove from fire and sift cake flour into it and mix with a whisk in a round motion till smooth
- add in the egg yolks and mix again... put aside
- in a mixer with balloon whisk, beat the egg whites till bubbly then add in the cream of tartar
- once fine bubble is formed, add in sugar + corn flour mixture (in 3 batches) till stiff peak is formed
- scoop a portion of egg whites meringue and slowly whisked till even in the egg yolk batter
- once smooth, pour the yolk mixture to the egg whites and fold till everything is smooth
- pour into a cake mold and use stick to run through batter to remove air bubbles
- bake for 5-10min at 180°C till top is light golden and remove from oven
- use a knife and cut slightly on the top surface making 6 even cuts for the crown to form
- immediately put back in the oven lowering the temp to 170°C top and bottom heat and bake for another 35-40min
- cake is fully baked when skewer comes out clean
- remove from oven, bang on the table few times to loosen the cake... and leave it upside down to cool for 1 hour
- remove from the mould gently and enjoy the fluffy cake!
Foodnote: Recipe is from here. It looks so nice so I just have to try and bake this. I just use the mould that I have and the crown didn't rise as much. I also use orange juice ahahah. Anyway... the most tricky part about this cake is to turn it upside down to cool. I drop it a few times :(( but it still tasted good lah. Will bake another one and hope it turns up nicer hehe.
