Jz妈妈

<div>(Jasper和Zoe特喜欢对门的姐姐,听说姐姐快过生日了,吵着要给姐姐做个生日蛋糕,而且Jasper竟然自己从网上不知道哪里自学了做蛋糕的流程,还是英文版的。那。。。安排!)</div><div><br></div>k: Mom, Yoyo sister will have her birthday. Can we make a cake for her?<div>p: Yes. But I've never made a cake before. So this will be a good time for us to learn.</div><div>k: I know how to make a cake.</div><div>p: Really? Then can you tell me what should we prepare?</div><div>k: To make a cake, we need egg yolk, egg white, milk, oil, flour and sugar.</div><div>p: OK. You are professional. </div><div>Let me put on my apron.<br></div> <div>p: Put one cup of cake flour in a medium bowl.<br>Then stir 1 teaspoon of <b>baking powder发酵粉</b> and ¼ teaspoon of salt into the flour.<br>The next part is <b>tricky技术活</b>.<br>Are you ready?<br>k: I think so.<br>p: We'll need to separate the egg yolk, the yellow part,<br>from the egg whites, the clear part.<br>k: How do we do that?<br>p: Grab two bowls, <br>and I'll show you.<br>First, <u>you partially crack the egg over a bowl.</u><br></div><div>Once most of the clear <b>stuff</b> has drained into the bowl,<br>you move the yolk<b> back and forth来来回回</b> between the two egg shell halves until most of the clear stuff is in the bowl.<br>k: What do you do with the yolk?<br>p: Put it in a second bowl.<br>We'll need it later.<br>Do that to four more eggs,<br>and then we'll mix up the egg whites.<br>k: This is the fun part.</div> p: Start beating the egg whites and keep beating them until they're <b>frothy and bubbly起沫和起泡</b>.<br>k: Do I keep mixing?<br>p: Yep. I'll add ¼ cup of sugar.<br>Keep beating that mixture for another minute.<br> k: What's next?<br>p: Add in the egg yolks and another ½ cup of sugar.<br>Beat that for two minutes.<br>p: It's starting to look like <b>cake batter蛋糕糊</b>.<div>k: What do we do with the flour?</div><div>p: Get a big spoon,</div><div>and we'll carefully add the flour mixture to the egg mixture.<br></div> p: Do you think you can pour the finished batter into the pan?<br>k: I think so.<br>p: Once you're done,<br>we'll put the cake pan in the oven.<br>and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes. p: Switch the knobs,set the temperature 150℃ and the time 30mins. p: When we are waiting for the cake being baked, we can prepare the cream for our cake. <div><br></div><div>Steps:</div><div><ul><li>Chill the bowl and whisk for 20 minutes in your refrigerator. </li><li>Whisk heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.</li><li>Pour in 5 tablespoons (62.5 g) of sugar gradually.</li><li>Whisk the cream at medium speed until you see soft peaks begin to form.</li><li>Whisk the cream by hand until stiff peaks begin to form in the cream.</li><li>Put the cream frosting in the refrigerator to keep it cool. </li></ul></div> 我们没有做到第一步冷藏淡奶油,于是打发奶油失败了。。。<div>那就做个无奶油的健康蛋糕吧~</div><div>p: Jasper, I failed to make the cream.</div><div>k: Mommy, it is OK. Don't be sad. We can try one more time.</div><div>p: Thanks. But we don't have whipping cream at home, so maybe we can try next time. Today, we can make a healthy cake without cream, OK?</div><div>k: OK.</div> p: The oven stops working. The cake is ready. Then we'll let the cake cool on a rack before turning it out onto a plate.<div>Now we can decorate the cake. Can you do that on your own?</div><div>k: I think so.</div><div>k: How old is Yoyo sister?</div><div>p: I think she is going to be 10 years old.</div><div>k: Then I will insert 10 candles.</div><div>p: What else do you think we can add to our cake?</div><div>k: I like mango.</div><div>p: Great idea. I will cut pieces of mango and put the mango pieces on the cake.</div><div>p: Finished! Let me take a photo of our cake.</div><div>k: Can we knock Yoyo sister's door now?</div><div>p: I think so. And don't forget to say "happy birthday" to her. </div> 竟然也挺好看的。。。哈哈哈哈~
