Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 1 serving
- 3 egg yolk
- 1 g salt
- 3 egg white
- 90 g sugar
- 90 g cake flour
- 30 g vegetable oil
- 30 g milk
- 2 g vanilla extract
Preparation
- Step 1Separate 3 egg yolks and 3 egg whites. Add 1 g salt to the yolks.
- Step 2Whip the 3 egg whites, gradually adding the 90 g sugar divided into thirds, until a stable meringue forms that holds peaks.
- Step 3Add the egg yolks to the meringue and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Step 4Sift in the 90 g cake flour and fold gently from bottom to top until no dry flour is visible. Do not use baking powder.
- Step 5Warm the 30 g vegetable oil and 30 g milk (not cold) together. Mix a portion of the cake batter into the oil-milk mixture until smooth, then fold this back into the remaining batter until uniform.
- Step 6Pour the batter into a round 1호 pan and tap the pan firmly on the counter from top to bottom to remove large air bubbles.
- Step 7Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 30 minutes until risen and golden. Cool completely before use.
Notes
- Meringue stage is critical for volume and texture; watch for stiff but not overbeaten peaks.
- Tap the filled pan to release large bubbles that can cause uneven rising or tunnels.
- Recipe is for one standard small round layer (1호 pan); scale proportionally for larger pans.
