My helper has been kept reminding me to bring oranges to office as there are a lot in the fridge. And since this month is the orange event from Ann's Little Thumb Up, I took the courage to try on the orange ogura cake from Ann.
Recipe adapted from here.
Ingredients:
70g Orange juice
40g Vegetable oil
1/4 tsp Salt
55g Hong Kong Flour/Plain flour or Cake flour
1/4 tsp Salt
55g Hong Kong Flour/Plain flour or Cake flour
zest from 2 oranges (I used one orange cos I was able to get 90g of juice from one)
4 Egg yolks + 1 whole egg (60g each)
150g Egg white
1/4 tsp Cream of tartar (I replaced with lemon juice)
60g Sugar
4 Egg yolks + 1 whole egg (60g each)
150g Egg white
1/4 tsp Cream of tartar (I replaced with lemon juice)
60g Sugar
Method :
1. Line baking sheet at the bottom of
an ungreased 7 inch square pan and preheat the oven to 160C with a tray of boiling
water on the most bottom rack.
2. Whisk egg yolks,and vegetable oil
until frothy and add orange juice, mix well. Sift in flour and orange zest, mix
well set aside.
3. Using an electric mixer, whisk egg
white, cream of tartar and castor sugar till peak form (not stiff).
4. Mix 1/3 of meringue with yolk batter
with a rubber spatula. Then pour in balance of meringue. Fold gently to mix
well.
5. Pour batter into pan and tap pan
lightly to remove air bubbles.
6. Steam bake for 40 minutes at 160°C and bake for another 20 minutes at
lower temperature 140°C.
7. Remove cake immediately after baked
and invert cake on wire rack to cool.
Verdict?
I didn't bake the cake successfully, I under baked the cake that caused the cake to collapse, too ugly to show the whole cake lol. And also the texture is too moist, definitely need to try it again, need a lot of practises.
