Chapter 141 Making Cakes

After talking about the reward, Li Chengqian looked at the egg beater and the flower piping table again.

Especially the egg beater, a tabletop, a bamboo tube on top is connected to the egg beater, and two pedals below. Li Chengqian didn’t know what the structure was inside, but as long as he stepped on the pedal below, the egg beater on top would rotate at high speed.

Afterwards, Mo Cheng and his friends were asked to teach some palace maids to use ovens and egg whisks, Li Chengqian personally sent Mo Cheng and the others to leave, which made Mo Cheng and other Mo family very grateful.

After seeing Mo Cheng and the others off, Li Chengqian came to the newly decorated pastry room and dressed up and started to work hard.

What he is going to make today is chiffon cake. Why is it a chiffon cake because it is a cake that does not require leavening agents such as baking powder.

The production process is also very simple. Li Chengqian first found a 9-inch mold for baking cakes, then took out two smaller pottery basins, separated the 4 eggs, egg whites and egg yolks, and put them into the prepared pottery basin.

The palace maid added the pottery basin containing egg white in three times and a little white vinegar, and beat it with an egg whisk until it foams.

Li Chengqian himself picked up a fine bamboo sieve and sifted the flour into a pottery pot filled with egg yolks. Before adding it, prepare the cooled milk to heat up. After cooking oil, stir them thoroughly, take the beaten egg whites, put them into the egg yolk paste and stir evenly, and pour them into a clean mold without water or oil. Then, after shaking bubbles on the chopping board, put them in the oven and bake at 230℃ for 15 minutes.

After Li Chengqian put the prepared cake batter into the oven, he stared at the hourglass boredly and waited.

It is worth mentioning that in order to make the cake well, Li Chengqian not only let Mo Cheng and his team make the oven and mold, but also specially made Mo Cheng and his team make the hourglass, and made it into 1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. It could have been made even larger, but the accuracy was not good, and even the accuracy of 15 minutes was not good.

When the baking was 10 minutes, Li Chengqian asked the palace maid to remove the fire and covered the fluffy cake with an iron lid. It was originally the best to have tin foil, but for now, people don’t even know what tin is, let alone tin foil.

After that, it was a while before. When the time came, Li Chengqian quickly asked someone to take out the cake with a wet rag, lift the lid, and press the cake upside down on the chopping board, waiting to cool down.

At this time, Xiao Yier, who was tired of brown sugar water, ran in.

"Brother, what are you doing? It smells so fragrant. What's delicious?" As soon as Xiao Yier entered the door, she smelled a fragrant smell and immediately started looking around.

"Xiao Yi'er wait, the cake is not ready yet. When it cools down, brother will see if it is made. If it is done, brother will make a beautiful cake for Xiao Yi'er." Seeing Xiao Yi'er searching for it, he saw the cake on the chopping board, he reached out to get it. Li Chengqian was so scared that he hurriedly carried her away and said to her.

The waiting time is always so difficult. After waiting for more than 10 minutes for the palace maids and brothers and sisters, Li Chengqian turned the mold over with excitement.

However, when he saw the cake that had collapsed inside, Li Chengqian was depressed. Although he had thought that the first time would fail, he was still very unhappy if it really failed.

But Xiao Yier and the palace maids didn't think so. They looked at the golden cake and the fragrance in the mold, and all of them swallowed.

Looking at the chiffon cake that was confirmed to be failed, although Li Chengqian was very depressed, he said it was a failure. In fact, except that he could not apply butter, there was no problem to eat it.

So after Li Chengqian cut a large piece of Xiao Yier who was already looking forward to it, he asked the palace maids to eat the rest.

"Brother, give it to me quickly, Xiao Yi'er wants to eat it." When Li Chengqian put the cake on a plate and gave it to Xiao Yi'er, she jumped happily.

"This little girl, seeing the cake looks the same as when she first ate the cake in her previous life, but it was a finished product, and it was a failed product and a semi-finished product." Looking at Xiao Yier's excited look, Li Chengqian thought to himself.

After Xiao Yier took a bite, the little girl looked happy, "Brother, this cake is delicious, fragrant and soft. Why did my brother say that he failed? Xiao Yier likes to eat it very much, my brother also takes it."

Li Chengqian did not choose to answer Xiao Yier's question, but when he was eating cake with Xiao Yier, he was thinking about why he failed.

After Xiao Yier finished eating, Li Chengqian made several more times, but none of them succeeded, and they collapsed more or less. However, this also made Li Chengqian find the reason, that is, the oven's sealing is still a bit poor and the temperature is not concentrated.

In order to solve this problem, Li Chengqian lit all the fires in the oven and shortened the time to bake a few. Because I don’t know the baking time like this, the first few were experimenting. The last one, Li Chengqian found the right time. As expected, the chiffon cake that came out this time did not collapse at all, and there were no cracks that might appear on the top, which made Li Chengqian so happy.

Seeing that the cake was already in place, Li Chengqian asked the palace maid to whip the prepared cream. This time the cream was very smooth, and it was whipped and formed in one go.

However, looking at the whipped cream, Li Chengqian was in trouble again. He was just a slag for plastering. Although he was slag for plastering, Li Chengqian was fine to smooth the cake blank. After applying the cake blank, he made a piping bag made of silk on it. After making a circle of lace on the cake, he put some dried fruits in it, and then made a beautiful cake.

Looking at the cake made, everyone stared blankly, unable to believe that the cake was made together.

"Brother, it smells so good. I knew that you were making delicious food with Xiao Yier again. Let's see what it is this time." Just when Li Chengqian wanted to cut the prepared cake for Xiao Yier to eat, their foodie broke in.

"Brother, what is this? It's so beautiful, this..." Looking at the snow-white cake, Li Zhi asked blankly, and when she wanted to ask.

"Why are you asking so much? You are scooping it little by little with a spoon, and letting your elder sister and the others come in too." Seeing Lizhi still want to ask, Li Chengqian quickly cut a piece of cake and put it on a plate, and handed it to Lizhi.
