Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the red dates and dry them, then remove the core and chop them into fine pieces. The finer the better, so as not to affect the taste of the finished product due to the jujube skin.
-
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites, add a few drops of white rice vinegar to the egg whites, and let rest for about 5 minutes.
-
Add brown sugar powder, water, and corn oil to the egg yolk bowl and beat evenly.
-
Sift the cake flour into the egg yolk mixture and stir until there are no lumps.
-
Add 60g of red dates and mix well. The remaining 20g of red dates are set aside.
-
Use an electric mixer to beat at low speed until coarse foam appears, then add 1/3 of the white sugar.
-
Change the electric egg beater to medium speed and continue to beat the egg whites until they become larger in volume and have fine foam, then add 1/3 of the white sugar.
-
Whisk until the egg whites form lines, then add the remaining 1/3 of the sugar and continue whipping.
-
Beat until the peaks of the egg whites can stand upright, the bowl is turned upside down, and the egg whites will not fall down, that means the egg whites have been beaten successfully.
-
Add 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk batter, use a rubber spatula to cut up and down and mix evenly.
-
Pour the egg yolk paste into the remaining 2/3 of the meringue, use a rubber spatula to cut up and down and mix evenly. This cutting and mixing process should be as fast as possible to prevent the meringue from defoaming.
-
Spread the remaining 20g of red dates evenly on the bottom of the cake mold.
-
Pour the cake batter into the cake mold, smooth it out with a hand, and then shake it vigorously on the table a few times to knock out any big air bubbles.
-
Put the cake batter into the preheated oven, lower the rack at 160 degrees, bake for about 45 minutes, take it out and let it cool.
