Chapter 145 – Cream Battle
After talking about the reward, Li Chengqian took a look at the egg beater and the laminating table.
Especially the egg beater, a countertop, above a bamboo tube connected to the egg beater, below two pedals, what is the structure inside Li Chengqian did not know, but as long as you step on the pedal below, the egg beater above will turn up at high speed.
After that, after letting Mo Cheng them teach some court ladies to use the oven and egg beater, Li Chengqian personally sent Mo Cheng them away, which in turn made Mo Cheng and a bunch of other Mo family children very grateful.
After sending Mo Cheng and the others away, Li Chengqian came to the newly set up pastry room to get dressed and then began to busy himself.
Today he was going to make chiffon cake, why chiffon cake is because it is a cake that does not need baking powder and other puffing agents.
The process of making it is also very simple, Li Chengqian first found a baking cake 9 inch mold, then took out two smaller clay pots, put 4 eggs, egg whites and egg yolks separated, into the prepared clay pots.
The pottery pot with egg whites let the courtesan add syrup in three parts, and a little white vinegar, with a whisk until foamy.
Li Chengqian himself picked up a bamboo fine sieve, the flour sifted into the yolks of the ceramic pot, in which to add before the ready to heat and cool the milk, cooking oil, after they are fully mixed well, took the whipped egg whites, in turn into the yolks inside the batter, mix well and pour into a clean mold without water and oil, and then shocked out of the bubbles on the board, into the oven, 230 ℃ top and bottom heat for 15 minutes, and then put into the oven. Bake at 230℃ for 15 minutes.
After Li Chengqian put the cake batter into the oven, he stared at the hourglass and waited in boredom.
It is worth saying that, in order to make a good cake, Li Chengqian in addition to letting Mo Cheng they made the oven, molds, but also specifically let Mo Cheng they made the hourglass, but also made 1 minute 5 minutes and 15 minutes, could have been made bigger, but the accuracy will not work, and even the accuracy of the 15-minute can not be.
Waiting to bake to 10 minutes, Li Chengqian let the courtesan withdrew the fire, and in the cake has been fluffed up on the cover of an iron lid, would have been the best to have tinfoil, but as of now, people don’t even know what the tin is, let alone tinfoil.
After that there was another period of waiting, and when the time came, Li Chengqian hurriedly had the cake taken out with a wet rag, removed the cover, and inverted the cake with the mold on the board, waiting to cool.
And at this time, Xiao Yi’er, who was already tired of playing with brown sugar water to remove the color, ran in.
”Brother, what are you doing ah, so fragrant ah, is what delicious well” little Yee Er as soon as he entered the door, smelled a fragrant smell, immediately looked around.
”Xiao Yi Er wait, the cake is not yet good, and so cooled, brother to see made or not, if made, brother will give Xiao Yi Er to do a beautiful cake” to see Xiao Yi Er looking for a while, see the cake on the board, to reach out to take, scared Li Chengqian hurried to hold her away, and said to her.
Waiting time is always so difficult, in a crowd of palace maidens and siblings incomparably tormented waiting for more than 10 minutes, Li Chengqian with excitement to the mold reversed over.
But when he saw the cake that had collapsed inside, Li Chengqian was depressed, although he had thought that he would fail the first time, but really failed, he was still very upset.
But Xiao Yi’er and those palace maids didn’t think so, looking at the golden cake in the mold, and the fragrance, all there were gulped.
Looking at the chiffon cake in front of the eyes to determine the failure, although Li Chengqian is very depressed, but said it is a failure, in fact, in addition to not be able to smear cream, eat or no problem.
So Li Chengqian after cutting a big piece for Xiao Yi’er who was already looking at it, let those court ladies eat the rest.
”Brother, quickly give it to me, Little Yi’er wants to eat it” When Li Chengqian took the cake in a saucer to Little Yi’er, she jumped there happily.
”This little girl, when she saw the cake, it was the same as when she first ate the cake in her previous life, except that it was a finished product, while this is a failure plus a half-finished product” Looking at Xiao Yi’er’s excitement, Li Chengqian secretly thought.
After Xiao Yi Er ate a bite, the little girl looked happy “brother, this cake is so delicious, fragrant, soft, brother why say failed, Xiao Yi Er very like to eat ah, brother also eat a bite”.
For Xiao Yi’er’s question Li Chengqian didn’t choose to answer, but was thinking about why it failed when he was eating the cake with Xiao Yi’er.
After Xiao Yier finished eating, Li Chengqian made several more times, but none of them were successful, more or less collapsed, but this also allowed Li Chengqian to find the reason, that is, the airtightness of the oven is still a little bit poor, and the temperature is not concentrated.
And in order to solve this problem, Li Chengqian put the oven on all fires, shorten the time in the baking of a few, because of this baking time do not know, the first few are experimenting, the last one Li Chengqian to find the right time, and sure enough this time out of the chiffon cake a little collapsed also did not, even the top of the possible cracks did not, which makes Li Chengqian that happy ah.
See the cake billet already have, Li Chengqian let the courtesan to prepare the cream for whipping, this time the whipped cream is very smooth, once on the whipped shape.
But look at the whipped cream, Li Chengqian and difficult, laminating what he is a dregs, although laminating he is a dregs, but to the cake billet smoothing cream, Li Chengqian or no problem, the cake billet smeared cream, he made of silk on the top of the laminating bag, in the cake is to get out of the circle lace, in the inside of the dried fruit into some after a beautiful cake is made.
Looking at the cake that was made, all of them were dumbfounded and couldn’t believe that the cake was made by them together.
”Brother, it smells so good, I knew it, you’re bringing Xiao Yi Er to make something delicious again, let’s see what it is this time” And just when Li Chengqian wanted to cut the finished cake and give it to Xiao Yi Er to eat, their family’s snacker broke in.
”Brother, what is this ah, so beautiful ah, this ……” looking at the snow white cake, Li Qi dumbfounded asked, still want to ask when.
”Ask so much why, take with a spoon a little scoop to eat, and let the big sister they also come in” see Li Qi still want to ask, Li Chengqian quickly cut a piece of cake on a plate, handed to Li Qi.
Sure enough, looking at his brother handed over the unknown things, as a foodie Li Qi, immediately no sound, end of the dish scooped a piece into the mouth, and then want to run out, while running, but also underestimated “What is this yellow, sweet, fragrant, and this white is also delicious ah, also sweet, but also so silky smooth”.
