Step 1

Separate the egg whites and yolks and weigh them. The bowl containing the egg whites must be free of oil and water. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 2

Step 2

Pour the milk and corn oil together into a large bowl. Use a hand whisk to stir evenly until it becomes white and cloudy. This step is for emulsification and must be done well. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop ✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 3

Step 3

Add the sifted flour (the flour mentioned here is low-gluten flour + cornstarch + baking powder) to the mixed oil-water mixture. Mix roughly evenly, as long as no obvious white powder is visible, don't over mix. The mixed state will be slightly drier than the chiffon cake. This is normal. Do not add milk yourself.[Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop ✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 4

Step 4

Start adding the egg yolks into the batter one at a time until all the egg yolks are added. Because I made two 450g toast boxes of golden pillow cakes, if you only make one, the egg yolks can be added at once. Mix everything evenly. This egg yolk batter will be thicker than ordinary chiffon cake batter after it is ready! [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop ✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 5

Step 5

At this time, remember to preheat the oven to 190-200 degrees. Prepare to whip the egg whites, add a few drops of lemon juice or white vinegar to the egg whites. The amount of sugar I made for two batches was a bit too much, so I added the sugar in batches. Beat the egg whites until they are in the form of fish-eye foam, then add 1/3 of the fine sugar.[Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 6

Step 6

There are small bubbles in the egg white liquid, but the egg whites are not delicate, and the egg whites will drip when you lift the whisk. At this time add another 1/3 of the caster sugar and continue beating. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop ✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 7

Step 7

The egg whites gradually become fine and fine, and when you lift the whisk, there will be a large hook. At this time, add the last 1/3 of the fine sugar. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop ✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 8

Step 8

Beat the sugar evenly, make the egg whites very fine, and add corn starch. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 9

Step 9

The texture of the meringue is very clear, the mixing feel is heavy, and it is very smooth. After lifting the whisk, the egg whites pull out small upright corners. It is recommended to use low speed - high speed - low speed to beat egg whites. The beating time is also related to the power of the individual egg beater.

Step 10

Put 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk paste. This 1/3 is an approximate amount, it doesn’t have to be precise. After mixing evenly, you can take another spoonful of meringue and add it to the egg yolk paste, and stir evenly again. This is because this egg yolk paste is thicker than ordinary chiffon egg yolks.The paste should be thick.

Then pour the mixed batter into the remaining egg whites. Stir again to form a fine cake batter. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 12

Step 14

Slowly pour the prepared cake batter into the mold at a low level and shake it lightly a few times to release large bubbles. [Golden Pillow Cake] from Hot Cake Shop ✔️Easy to make at home Illustration of how to do it 15

Place in a fully preheated oven, set the upper heat to 155 degrees and the lower heat to 165 degrees, and set the time for 45 minutes.

When beating egg whites, add fine sugar in three batches to make the egg whites more stable. You can also pour it in all at once, but it is not recommended for beginners. The temperature of each person's oven is different. The time and temperature are for reference only. If the oven is too tightly sealed, you can put a toothpick in the oven door to facilitate moisture drainage. The recipe is for two cakes, so cut the recipe in half to make one.
