Air fryer sponge cake !!! I was a bit terrific cause not knowing what temperature should I use ! Thank goodness it went on well and the cake turns out super gorgeous and spongy. I am truly blessed. Haven't been baking this savory flavour for a long time. Love it so much ! I bet you're going to enjoy baking with your air fryer too. It going to be fun ! Please read on for more.
For Air fryer with 3L fryer basket (mine is Khind air fryer ARF3000)
(recipe adapted from my
Taiwanese pillow sponge cake)
Ingredients : (7" baking tray)
(A)
4 egg yolk
50gm corn oil
50gm full cream milk
70gm all purpose flour
1/4 tspn baking powder
(B)
4 egg white
1/2 tspn salt
1/8 tspn cream of tartar
60gm fine sugar
(C)
1/2 cup mushroom floss
2 TB nori flakes
Method :
(1) from ingredients (B), whisk egg white, salt and cream of tartar till formy, then add in sugar by 3 batches and beat till glossy and ribbon like texture. Set aside.
(2) from ingredients (A), heat the oil the transfer to a big bowl.
(3) now, mix together flour and hot oil till everything well cooperated. (as picture shown below)
(4) next, beat in egg yolk one at a time till everything well mixed. (as picture shown below)
(5) then stir in milk till mixture well cooperated and in smooth texture. (as picture shown below)
(6) at this point, fold in 1/3 of ingredients (B) the meringue into ingredients (A) till nicely combined. Do not over mixed.
(7) then transfer mixture from item no,(6) into the remaining egg white mixture or the meringue, till well combined. Do not over mix.
(8) next, transfer half of the batter to a 7" baking tray lined with parchment paper, then sprinkle on some mushroom floss and nori flakes (as picture shown the above).
** Remarks : need to line the tray with cardboard by the side.
(9) then transfer the remaining batter onto baking tray and spread to cover the first layer batter.
(10) next, sprinkle the remaining mushroom floss and nori flakes onto batter. (as picture shown the above)
(11) now, cover baking tray with an aluminium foil with some holes on it. Make sure the foil is nicely fit to the tray.
(12) finally, bake at preheated air fryer 160'C for about 30 minutes. Then remove foil sheet and continued baking for another 20 minutes at 130'C with open surface. Or till tester came out clean.
Oh dear, my baking paper is not tall enough ! Though, it looks good overall. Now,quickly unmould the cake and leave to cool. The only verdict is ..... got to use a thicker side board the next round and temperature can still be reduced to 155'C for the first 30 minutes.
Very satisfying result from my air fryer ! Looks like we are working well together >o<
haha.....
