Fluffy and Moist Sponge Cake
- 40 grams 70 grams Cake flour
- 2 3 Eggs
- 1 Egg yolk
- 55 grams 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams 20 grams Corn starch
- 10 grams 20 grams Butter
- 10 grams 20 grams Vegetable oil
- Preparation Line a cake mold with parchment paper.
- (Not greased with butter)
- Combine the eggs, egg yolk and granulated sugar in a bowl.
- Combine the butter and vegetable oil in a small bowl, and combine the cake flour and corn starch in a different bowl.
- Mix the eggs and granulated sugar lightly with a whisk and heat to body temperature in a double boiler.
- Change to a hand mixer, and whip at the highest speed until the mixture becomes whitish and forms a thick ribbon when the hand mixer is lifted.
- Some of the batter should remain within the whisk when lifted.
- Once the mixture has reached the consistency of Step 4, stir slowly at low speed for about 4 minutes.
- This is just to break big air bubbles, so don't stir too much.
- Sift in the dry ingredients into Step 5 and fold in gently with a rubber spatula until the mixture is no longer floury.
- (About 30 times.)
- Heat up the butter and vegetable oil to 50 C while mixing the flour.
- Add a scoop of the mixed batter from the Step 6 into the oil mixture from Step 7 and mix well with the whisk.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170C.
- Pour the mixture from Step 8 into the rest of the batter from Step 6.
- Change to a rubber spatula and mix from the bottom until the batter becomes shiny.
- When mixed, pour the batter into the mold, and tap it on the counter once to remove air.
- Bake for about 25 minutes at 170C.
- (For a 18 cm mold, bake for 30~35 minutes.)
- This photo shows how the cake looks while baking.
- It smells really nice.
- When it's baked, drop it from a height of 30 cm once, and place upside down on a cake rack that is lined with parchment paper and let it cool.
- When it's completely cooled, it's done.
- If you don't use it straight a way, wrap with cling film over the parchment paper and transfer to the fridge.
- This is how it looks when cut.
- You can bake a fine textured sponge cake that is moist and fluffy.
