How to make a birthday cake

It's troublesome to make your own cake. Do you have an oven at home?

If so, then we can start.

Sieve the flour first (it is best to use low-gluten flour). This must be done so that the flour will not agglomerate.

Step 2: Mix egg yolk, water (you can use oil), sugar (you can also add honey) and flour.

The third step is to send away the egg whites. I usually play hard foam directly. It is the state that chopsticks will not fall off when inserted.

Step 4: Pour in half a dozen egg whites and mix well with the prepared batter. Be careful not to break up the bubbles.

Step 5, mix the prepared paste with the remaining half of the egg white and stir evenly. You can start preheating the oven before mixing. About 400 degrees Fahrenheit, please change it to degrees Celsius)

Step 6, pour the batter into the mold, adjust the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 15 minutes. Until the test needle is inserted into the center of the cake and there is no batter on the needle, it will be fine. Before baking, the mold should be coated with oil, otherwise it will be difficult to demould.

If you want to make it more complicated, you can add vanilla extract and lemon extract to improve the taste. You can also add nuts, or use juice instead of water to change the color and taste of the cake.

After the cake is baked, take it out to dry for a while before demoulding. Finally, decorate the cake with whipped cream.
