Pandan Chiffon Cake 香兰戚风蛋糕



曾经试过做戚风蛋糕,但是都不成功。我觉得烤戚风蛋糕必需注意蛋白的打发程度,蛋白与粉混合的技巧,还有就是温度要刚刚好。温度太高,蛋糕会很快地膨胀起来和裂开。温度太低又不熟。我参考了http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4a5089ff01009gi7.html终于成功了。好感谢君之的大方分享,谢谢你!大家不要气馁,继续努力研究,一定会成功的。加油!

Hokkaido Cupcakes 北海道蛋糕



现在到处都可以看到的北海道蛋糕是什么味道的呢?我没有在任何烘焙店买过这蛋糕,但又很好奇它的味道是如何的。
昨天终于有时间来做个实验了!这蛋糕通常都会装在比较硬的纸杯,但我家没有,就只好以普通纸杯代替了。实验结果是:它是松松软软的戚风杯子蛋糕,吃进肚子感觉好像没有吃到什么,没什么饱足感。味道没什么特别,我觉得就没有什么特别的吸引力。但不否认它很容易做,很松软也很适合拿来送礼。朋友生日或有任何派对不妨考虑这简单又美观的北海道杯子蛋糕哦!

  4. 用打蛋器将蛋白打发至大泡泡,加入塔塔粉和1/3的糖,继续打到浓稠的粗泡沫加入另外的1/3糖。打到蛋白呈有纹路的细小泡沫时加入剩余的糖,打发成软性发泡。
  5. 将已打发的蛋白加入蛋黄混合物内,用手轻轻拌均匀。
  6. 最后加入面粉和发粉,用手轻轻拌均匀。
  7. 将混合物挤入模内,以160C烘烤20分钟。

  2. 以中速打发至浓稠的液体状,加入香草精和卡士达粉。
  3. 继续打发至不会流动的硬挺状。(注意:别过分打发至碎块状,过分打发就无可挽救了。)
