Castella Cake (蜂蜜长崎蛋糕)







有些蛋糕做了一次就算,有些蛋糕做了再做,吃了再吃依然美味。长崎蛋糕和戚风蛋糕在我的list里就是属于这类型的,久不久就会想念一下。长崎蛋糕有着淡淡蜜糖香味,又有QQ弹性的口感,吃了让人回味。虽然没有很多材料,算是简单,但却又那么的不简单 ,所以就是让人又爱又恨。

起先失败了无数次,恨了无数次。。说了气馁的话,“这个蛋糕很了不起吗?就是sponge cake一个咯!”后来做成了,爱了,说了赞扬的话“这个蛋糕是很好吃一下喔!”我每次都跟姐姐说,东西做不成,很多时候都没有检讨自己的过失,就只会赖食谱不对,盘的size错了,烘培纸买到cheap的,蛋糕粘住了等等。。哈哈!

所以啊。。我的很好吃一下,未必是你家的很好吃一下。。食谱是个模式,有待自己发挥和配合自己家的口味。做部落格不是一个竞争台,也不是一个互相评击的地方。大家努力为家人烘培,烧菜的分享,是一个心得,是一种分享。互相自持,互相学习,互相赞赏,快乐部落格。

这里分享我家很好吃一下的蜂蜜长崎蛋糕。


长崎蛋糕 Castella

材料:
4粒蛋(室温,分开蛋白和蛋黄)
24 大匙蜜糖 (我用3 大匙)
2大匙牛奶
1小匙水麦芽
34杯高筋面粉(我用120g
12杯幼糖 (我用75克)
1大匙味霖 

做法:
1 蛋白用搅拌机打至蛋白呈现小气泡,慢慢加入幼糖,继续打至干性发泡。

2 逐一加入蛋黄,继续打发(约6分钟, 我的打蛋器前面2分钟7档,接下来5档)。

3 预热烤箱160C。长崎木框模垫入两层蛋糕纸,然后用锡纸裹着木框外。将整理好的模型放在一个烤盘上。

4 将打蛋器转至最小档,慢慢加入筛过的面粉至完全拌匀。

5 将牛奶,水麦芽,味霖和蜜糖放入一小容器里,微波炉温热(1015秒)。

6 将面糊取出小部分和温热的蜜糖牛奶麦芽糖快速拌匀。然后再将蜜糖面糊倒入主面糊里拌匀。

7 用一筛网,将面糊筛入已铺好纸的木框里。将烤盘在桌上轻轻敲几下,震出小气泡。

8 送入预热的烤箱,装两碗水放在烤箱底层(用蒸烤式),烘60分钟。

9 出炉后,用一张蛋糕纸盖着蛋糕面然后倒扣。移放在网架上冷切(大概15分钟),再将蛋糕倒扣回来。继续在网架上冷切。

10 将冷却好的蛋糕,用蛋糕纸包好,在用保鲜纸包好,装入密封容器里,放入冰箱,隔天享用。


INGREDIENTS :
4 whole eggs (separated & room temperature)
2-4 tbsp honey ( I used 3 tbsp)
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp maltose sugar ( Very important!, it makes the texture of the cake look nice, moist, and smooth )
3/4 cup wheat flour (I used 120g bread flour.)
1/2 cup sugar (I used 75g caster sugar.)
1 tbs mirin (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. ) Preheat oven at 160C. Fill 2 little loave pans with water. Fill up 1/4 of the pan. Place them into the oven and place each pan on both sides of the pan so that the cake batter will be in the middle of the 2 filled pans with water.

2. )Put milk in a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds to warm. Stir in maltose sugar, honey and mirin until well melted and incorporated.

3. ) In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites till soft peak. Then, slowly add in the sugar. Beat until stiff peak and the egg white batter will becomes thick and glossy.

4. )Next beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Beat well until mixture turns to a pale white color or approximately 6 minutes. (or fill the batter in a 100ml container, the batter should weigh around 23-25g).

5. ) Switch your mixer to the lowest setting . Then add sifted flour slowly until mixture well incorporated.

6.) Then , slowly pour the  warm honey mixture into the batter until well mixed.  Using a sifter, pour the batter into it and into the pan. Gently drop the baking pan on the bench top to minimize air bubbles.

7.) Place pan in between the two filled pans with water. Bake for about 60 minutes or until golden brown.

8.) Once the cake is done, remove from oven, place a non-stick parchment paper on top of the cake and follow by another cake pan, turn up side down the cake. Cool on a wire rack.

9.) When the cake is cool enough to handle but still warm (about 15mins), invert the cake again, remove the pan and wooden box. Continue to cool on a wire rack.

10.) Once cake is cooled, wrap nicely with paper and film. Refrigerate overnight. (This step is critical to ensure the Castella has a moist texture).

Buttermilk Lawsuit Muffin (樱桃满分)






那天打电话给姐姐跟她讲起我要做她常做的Gary Mehiganmuffin 食谱,因为我买了buttermilk。她说那里有用buttermilk,是sour cream啦!哈哈。。买错材料timm。。。怎么办,上网查查有什么muffin是用buttermilk做的,一查之下,看到这个让大感兴趣的Lawsuit Buttermilk Muffin

原作Marcy Goldman在某家烘培店工作时,改篇了她在某报章收集到的 muffin食谱,muffin在店里大卖,当她辞去工作时,店主不允许她把食谱带走。她到第二家上班是同样事项发生,于是她展开法律行动,追讨回拥有食谱的版权。Marcy获胜,后来她也无私的将食谱公开与大家分享。所以今天我也庆幸的能试一试这个所谓的Lawsuit Muffin

这个食谱我一连做了两次,第一次是做cherry的,第二次用了苹果和蔓越莓(用蓝姆酒浸泡)。很喜欢这个松软好吃的满分,喜欢苹果蔓越莓多于cherry的。上面那层香香脆脆的酥核桃/pecan酥松粒更为这个满分增添不少口感。食谱简单,容易操作。我只是把满分的糖份减到130g

这里也尊重原作的版权,没能将食谱贴上,如果有兴趣的话,请到MarcyBetterBaking.com网站查看和下载食谱。

明天我的同事有苹果蔓越莓muffin早餐咯!
