Two-color birthday cake

Two-color birthday cake
On my son's twelfth birthday, he wanted to eat the cake made by his mother, but he said it was much better than the cake bought in the cake shop. After listening to my son's words, I felt very happy and spent two hours completing the work.
The taste was super great. My mother-in-law praised that the cake I made was perfect, and my father-in-law ate a quarter of it in one go.
It's just that my photography skills are too poor, and the photos during the production process are all false. The two finished photos were taken by my husband. I'll make up for it again if I have a chance.

(The material is suitable for an 8-inch cake mold)

    1. When whisking egg whites, turn the eggbeater in the basin to ensure that they are whisked evenly on all sides. After 3 -5 minutes, the egg whites have lines and are snow-white and smooth. When curled up, they are elastic and stand upright but slightly curved at the end, making them moist. foaming. At this time, turn down at low speed and continue beating for about half a minute until the lines are more obvious. Raise the egg beating head and the tail is in a firm triangular shape. It is a dry foam, and it is distributed about 9 times. This is the best state for beating the egg white cake. 2.

  • Two-color birthday cake Make Tips

    1. When beating egg whites, move the whisk in circles in the bowl to ensure it is beaten evenly on all sides. After 3-5 minutes, the egg whites will show streaks and appear snowy white and smooth. When lifted, the peaks should be elastic and stand up but with slightly curved tips; this is the soft peak stage. At this point, switch to low speed and continue beating for about half a minute until the streaks are more distinct. Lift the mixer head, and the tip should form a firm triangle; this is the stiff peak stage (about 90% beaten), which is the best state for beating egg whites for a chiffon cake. 2. Adjust the baking temperature and time according to your specific oven. 3. Although whipped light cream is slightly softer than fresh cream, it is soft and delicate in the mouth with a light, fresh fragrance.
