Take a big cooking pan with some hot water in it, leave the bowl on top of it (the bottom of the bowl touches the hot water) and whip the eggs.

With the constant whipping, the egg will produce big bubbles; then it will become thicker.

Whip the egg until when you pick up the mixer the egg batter drop down will not disappear immediately and you can use it to draw clear lines. (The whole process takes about 12 minutes depends on the power of your mixer).

Add the flour to the batter in 3 times; with the help of a rubber scraper carefully stir it from the bottom to the top. Do not mix it in a circle direction to avoid defoaming of the egg.

Pour the vegetable oil or melted butter into the cake batter and continue to stir from the bottom to the top.

Spread the parchment paper on the bottom of the baking pan and pour the cake batter into it.

Bend the baking pan on the kitchen counter really hard a few times to get the air out. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. To see if it is ready, use a toothpick to insert inside the center of the cake if it comes out clean then it is ready.

Assemble:

Let the cake to cool down completely

Cut the cake into 3 even slices

Leave the first slice on a cake bottom pad and put it on the cake turntable

Add some frosting on top of the first cake slice, with the help of spatula, smooth the frosting on the surface evenly. Then add the second slice and repeat the same procedure until all 3 layers are stacked up. Use an icing decorator to smooth the surface and the side of the cake.

配料

鸡蛋6个, 室温

低筋面粉200克,

细砂糖150克,

植物油或融化的黄油50克
烘焙:烤箱中层355 华氏度,15-20分钟

制作过程

准备一个稍微大点的盆,鸡蛋打入盆里。
再将白糖倒入。
取一个锅,锅里放入热水,把打蛋盆坐在热水里,并用打蛋器将鸡蛋打发。
随着不断的搅打,鸡蛋液会渐渐产生稠密的泡沫,变得越来越浓稠。

将鸡蛋打发到提起打蛋器,低落下来的蛋糊不会马上消失,可以在盆里的蛋糊表面画出清晰的纹路时,就可以了。(整个打发的过程约需要12分钟, 看你的打蛋器的马力有多大)
分3次倒入低筋面粉,用橡皮刮刀小心地从底部往上翻拌,使蛋糊和面粉混合均匀。不要打圈搅拌,以免鸡蛋消泡。
在搅拌好的蛋糕糊里倒入植物油或者融化的黄油,继续翻拌均匀。
在烤盘里铺上油纸,把拌好的蛋糕糊全部倒入烤盘。
把蛋糕糊抹平,端起来在地上用力震几下,可以让蛋糕糊表面变得平整,并把内部的大气泡震出来。把烤盘送入预热好355度的烤箱,烤15-20分钟,用牙签插入蛋糕内部,拔出来后牙签上没有粘上蛋糕,就表示熟了

组装:

让蛋糕完全冷却下来。

把蛋糕横切成3片

将第一个切片放在蛋糕垫上, 再放在蛋糕转盘上。

在第一片蛋糕上加一些奶酪霜, 在刮刀的帮助下, 均匀地抹在蛋糕上。然后将第二个切片覆盖上去, 重复同样的步骤, 直到所有3层蛋糕片都堆起来。使用一把刮蛋糕奶油专用刮刀把蛋糕的面和边都刮平。用你喜欢的浆果或水果装饰蛋糕。

I didn’t have enough frosting for this last one, so this one I added some strawberries to the frosting and make a sandwich cake. Lol…
