1
Coat the cake mold with vegetable oil or butter (not listed).
-
2
Cut parchment paper to fit inside the mold and line on the bottom and side wall.
-
3
Break the eggs into a bowl and whip with a whisk until soft peaks form.
-
4
Add the sugar and whip further until the mixture is thick enough to form ribbons when the whisk is lifted.
-
5
Then add the vanilla extract.
-
6
Combine the ingredients in a heat resistant bowl and melt in the microwave.
-
7
For an 18 cm mold: 600W 40~50 seconds, for a 15 cm mold: 30~40 seconds.
-
8
Preheat the oven to 170C (338 F).
-
9
Sift the cake flour into the batter and fold gently with a spatula.
-
10
Add the mixture from Step 4 and mix quickly.
-
11
Pour in the batter from Step 6 from high up into the mold and tap it on the counter several times to remove air bubbles.
-
12
Pour in the last bit of the batter to the edge.
-
13
When the oven has reached the right temperature, bake for 35 minutes.
-
14
For the 15 cm mold, bake for 30 minutes.
-
15
When it's baked, drop the cake from a height of 30 cm to prevent it from shrinking.
-
16
Line a piece of parchment paper on the counter and place the cake upside down for 2~3 minutes to flatten the surface.
-
17
Remove the side wall, flip over the cake with the bottom mold onto your right hand, and place it gently on a cake rack to remove the bottom.
-
18
Peel off the parchment paper, and wrap the cake with the cake rack in a plastic bag and leave it to cool completely.
-
19
When it's cooled completely, slice it depending on what you are making.
-
20
When you whip the eggs, it's quicker if you do it in a bain marie.
-
21
Further more, after you whipped the eggs, beat them on low speed for 1~2 minutes to get a finer texture.
-
22
It's easier to mix the dry ingredients if you add in 2~3 batches.
