Necessary Equipment:
9-inch square brownie pan
electric mixer
Ingredients:
((Sponge Cake))
2 egg
50g (1.8oz.) superfine sugar
35g (1.2oz.) cake flour
20g (0.7oz.) milk (room temperature)
((Filling))
200ml fresh cream (heavy whipping cream)
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
some fruits of your choice: strawberry, kiwi, canned fruits are okay!
Directions:
((Sponge Cake))
- Line the brownie pan with waxed paper or parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
- Beat eggs and sugar with wire whisk in a metal bowl. Placed it over the pan of hot water and melt the sugar and warm them up to 40C (104F).
- Then with an electric mixer, beat the batter on high speed for about 5 minutes until white and fluffy. Then on low speed, beat for about 2 minutes to set the texture.
- Sift in flour and fold together with spatula for about 10 times.
- Add milk and fold together with spatula for about 50 times until combined.
- Spread the batter in the brownie pan and drop the pan lightly on the counter to raise the air bubbles out of the batter.
- Bake at 180C (350F) for 11-12 minutes till lightly brown. (Depending on the heat of the oven, cooking time may differ, so please watch out.)
- When it's done, drop the pan lightly to prevent shrinking. Remove the sponge cake from the pan by lifting the wax paper and place it on a wire rack to cool.
- When it's cool enough, remove the parchment paper and place the sponge cake on the parchment paper with the brown side up.
((Filling))
- Combine fresh cream and granulated sugar in a dry, clean bowl. Float the bottom of the bowl in ice water, whisk the cream until it forms a soft peak.
- Dice the fruits of your choice.
- Coat the surface of the sponge cake evenly with the cream. Place the fruits over the creamed surface (leave an inch at both ends).
- Wrap the cake in the parchment paper and put in a fridge for 30 minutes to set.
- Cut into round pieces! The best way to cut the cake is to use a knife that has been warmed in hot water. Dip the knife in hot water, wipe, and cut. Repeat this each time you cut!
