Japanese cotton cake

Overview

Japanese cotton cake has a simple appearance without gorgeous decoration, but it is a very delicious cake! Compared with chiffon cake, the formula contains less water, and compared with sponge cake, a large amount of flour is reduced, so the texture is very dense and soft.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut the anhydrous yellow butter into small pieces, heat it over low heat, and bring to a boil.

   

2. 2 After the yellow butter is boiled, immediately add the sifted low-gluten flour. (Be careful of burning your hands and be sure to wear a book cover.)

   

3. 3 Use a hand mixer to stir until there is no dry powder left.

   

4. 4 Pour in the condensed milk. You can add the condensed milk here slowly. In order to make the batter easier to absorb, stir evenly.

   

5. 5 Add one whole egg and three egg yolks, stir slowly, let the batter be completely absorbed, and stir evenly. You can also beat the eggs and add them slowly in 3-5 times and stir.

   

6. 6 The batter must be mixed evenly and finely.

   

7. 7 Add a few drops of lemon juice to the egg whites

   

8. 8 Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed. After the egg whites are beaten, add fine sugar in three batches to make the beaten egg whites more stable.

   

9. 9 After the egg whites are beaten until foamy, the white sugar must be added completely, otherwise the white sugar will not be completely melted and there will be spots on the surface of the baked cake.

   

10. 10 Beat the egg whites until they become wet peaks, and the end of the lifted meringue should form a slightly curved hook shape.

    

11. 11 Add one-third of the meringue to the batter and stir.

    

12. 12 Stir the remaining meringue together. Fold it from the bottom and be quick, otherwise you will destroy all the air bubbles and the texture of the cake will be bad

    

13. 13 After the batter is mixed evenly and finely, pour it into an 8-inch square pan mold.

    

14. 14 Enter the oven and bake at 190 degrees for 20 minutes. (Different ovens have different temperatures, so you should control them according to your actual temperature.)

    

15. 15 Japanese cotton cake is finished! You can decorate it according to your own preferences, and the middle layer can also be spread with different flavors of jam and cheese.
