  5. Pour 40 grams of oil into the pot and heat until almost smokey. When the oil starts to smoke, pour in 50 grams of sifted low-gluten flour. Stir it into a thick and fine batter while pouring. (Be careful that the oil temperature is not too high, otherwise it will burn the noodles.) Let cool and set aside

  13. Finally, pour the cake batter into the mold, shake it on the counter for a few times to remove bubbles, smooth the surface, and put it into the preheated oven. Heat it up to 150 degrees and lower it to 130 degrees (the heat in my oven is too high) for the middle and lower layers. Use the water bath method for about 1 hour (put a plate of water on the bottom layer of the oven, and add enough water at one time) until you see that the cake is evenly colored
