日式草莓蛋糕 / Japanese Strawberry Shortcake



其实我不爱生吃草莓,因为很多时候都是吃到酸的。不过以草莓制作的食品,我还满喜欢的。虽然如此,一直以来我还是选择不做与草莓有关的蛋糕。这次是因为在网上看到,被那粉红色的蛋糕体吸引,因为太美了,忍不住做了。哈哈~看来我也是“以貌取糕”啊!结果不止蛋糕美,连味道也一级棒
松软的蛋糕,淡淡的草莓香,不甜不腻的淡奶油,再配上新鲜的草莓,让这款蛋糕即清新又美味。唯一美中不足的是蛋糕里的色素,如果能换成更健康的天然色素,那应该更完美了。或许下次改成红麴粉,会不会更好呢?


材料:
(A)
4个 蛋黄
20克 细砂糖
2大匙草莓汁(将新鲜草莓放入搅拌机内打成泥并过筛)
几滴红色素 (可以不放或以红麹粉替代)
40克 鲜奶
40克 玉米油
45克 低筋面粉(过筛)
15克 玉米粉

(B)
4个 蛋白
1/8小匙 盐
60克 细砂糖

一个9 x 11寸(23 x 27.5 cm)长方型烤盘

抹面和装饰:
200克 动物性淡奶油
23克 细砂糖
适量草莓(切成片)
适量草莓(对切成半)

事前准备:
1- 将抹面用的动物性淡奶油与糖打发至接近硬性(避免打发过度)。
2- 将打发的淡奶油、草莓等放入冰箱冷藏备用。

做法:
1- 预热烤箱150⁰C。烤盘涂油并铺上油纸。
2- 将(A)的蛋黄与细砂糖搅拌至糖溶解。拌入鲜草莓汁与红色素,拌匀。
3- 加入牛奶与玉米油,搅拌均匀。
4- 加入过筛的低筋面粉和玉米粉,用打蛋器轻拌至无粉颗粒即可。如颜色太浅可再加几滴红色素。
5- 将(B)的蛋白打发,并分3次加入细砂糖,继续打至能拉起直立略弯的弯钩。
6- 取1/2的蛋白霜加入蛋黄面糊里,稍微翻拌后,倒入剩余的蛋白霜内,轻拌均匀。
7- 将面糊倒入铺了油纸的烤盘内,放进烤箱中间层,以140⁰C烘烤25~30分钟。(烤箱温度只供参考)
8- 蛋糕出炉后,脱模,倒扣,去掉油纸(蛋糕最好倒扣在油纸或防粘的烘焙布上),放在网架上待凉。
9- 蛋糕完全冷却后,将蛋糕四边修切整齐,再把蛋糕横切成三片相等的长方片。
10- 把第一片蛋糕放在蛋糕架上,涂上打发淡奶油,铺上草莓片。再将第二片蛋糕放在草莓片上,重复第一片的步骤至第三片蛋糕,在蛋糕表面涂上一层薄薄的打发淡奶油后,放入冰箱冷藏大约30分钟。
11- 从冰箱取出蛋糕,将剩余的打发淡奶油涂在蛋糕表面,抹平后切块,以半边的草莓装饰蛋糕表面即可。冷藏后味道更佳。

小提示:
1-在涂抹打发淡奶油时,如果淡奶油开始溶化,先将蛋糕与淡奶油一起放入冰箱冷藏,过后再继续。
Ingredients:
(A)
4 egg yolks
20g caster sugar
2 tbsp strawberry juice (blend some fresh strawberries in a blender, sieve for the juice)
A few drops of red food colouring (can replace with red yeast rice powder)
40g full cream milk
40g corn oil
45g low protein flour 
15g corn flour

(B)
4 egg whites
1/8 tsp salt
60g caster sugar

A rectangle baking pan 23 x 27.5 cm (a slightly smaller or bigger pan is fine too)

Topping and garnish
200 ml whipping cream (chilled)
23g caster sugar
some sliced fresh strawberries
some strawberries (cut into half)

Preparing:
1- Whip whipping cream and sugar until stiff peak (Avoid over beating).
2- Chill strawberries and whipped cream in the refrigerator for later use.

Method:
1- Preheat the oven at 150C. Greased and lined the baking pan.

2- Whisk egg yolks and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add strawberry juice and red food colouring, mix well.

3- Add milk and oil, mix well to combine. 

4- Sift sifted flour and corn flour into the egg yolk mixture, whisk until everything is incorporated and smooth, with no visible lumps. If the colour isn't strong enough, add more food colouring. (You can try with natural food colouring such as beetroot or red yeast rice powder)

5- Whip egg whites with salt and sugar until stiff peak. The egg white should be firm and glossy.

6- Fold 1/2 of the egg whites (meringue) into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg yolk mixture into the remain meringue, fold gently to form a very smooth and foamy batter.

7- Pour the batter into prepared baking pan. Bake the cake in middle of the oven at 140C in 25~30 minutes until the top is golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed. (The baking temperature varies depending on each oven)

8- Unmould the cake from pan, remove parchment paper. Let cool completely.

9- Once the cake completely cooled, trim the edges and cut the cake in three equal rectangle pieces.

10- Place first piece of cake on a cake stand. Frost the top of the cake with a layer of whipped cream. Lay strawberry slices on top of the cream. Place the second cake piece on top. Repeat the steps of the first piece cake until to the third cake piece. Frost the top of the cake with a thin layer of whipped cream. Then refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes for the cream to set.

11- Removed the cake from refrigerator, frost the top of the cake with the rest of the cream. Cut the cake into small servings and garnish each small piece with strawberry. Keep the cake refrigerated before served.

原味牛油蛋糕 / Traditional Butter Cake

牛油蛋糕是我在众多蛋糕中最难掌握做得好的蛋糕,做法看似简单,但其中打发的步骤却常令我拿捏不到。对于此蛋糕我从来没放弃过,做的最多就是它。为了能做出满意的牛油蛋糕,我曾经一个时期一直都在做,失败了,再来过,那时候家里就是一直看到牛油蛋糕,孩子们捧场捧到怕,心理留下了阴影。幸亏家里出了一个牛油蛋糕的粉丝,是他帮我解决掉大部份的失败品,真的要谢谢他给于我最大的支持! 

大理石纹牛油蛋糕 / Marble Butter Cake

之前曾做过无数次的大理石牛油蛋糕,每次都是全蛋打发。这次改换了方式,采用了分蛋式做法,将蛋黄面糊拌好后才与打发的蛋白霜拌匀,比起之前的扎实口感,以这种方式做出来的蛋糕会更松软,如要我做出选择,嘻嘻~两者我都喜欢。

芋头糕 / Yam (Taro) Cake

这是我之前时常做的芋头糕,后来因专注于烘焙方面,而逐渐将它遗忘,前些天,朋友向我要了这糕的食谱,才让我想起了这道被我冷藏了的食谱。但在事隔多年的今天,再次做这芋头糕,却面对了一点小失败~太咸了!让我蛮苦恼的,这是之前不曾有的问题啊!左思右想之后,才想起原来我在匆忙中忘了洗材料里的菜脯碎,虾米也在赶时间下没能浸过,呵呵,就这些小细节造就了成败!要注意啊。。。 这款芋头糕用料多,做起来费时又多工,糕内的芋头除了切丁,还有另一部份蒸熟压成泥后加入了面糊内,使面糊的部份也充满了浓浓的芋头香,无论吃着的是芋头丁还是面糊的部份,每一口都那么的香浓美味,不用沾任何酱料,就已经很好吃了,是名符其实的芋头糕喔!
