Contrary to Dai Zangqing's small abacus, Sikong Yao didn't expect to go up at such a deep level, for her, it didn't matter if she won or lost this halberd, it was just her personal game.

So in the face of the flower fairy's request, she gladly accepted.

The flower fairy's proposal was: "Then make angel cake, do you accept it?" ”

Angel cake is a dessert that became popular in the United States in the 19th century. Unlike other cakes, its cotton-like texture and color are made with hard foaming egg whites, sugar and white flour. It does not contain butter or oil, so the foam of the egg white can better support the cake.

Although it does not contain butter and has a low failure rate of angel cake, from another point of view, this cake is indeed a very basic dessert, which is opposite to chocolate devil cake, but the two are completely different types of cakes.

In the beginning, there were many new cakes invented by pastry chefs, such as angel cake and chocolate devil cake, the latter with chocolate and butter as the main ingredients.

To make angel cake, the egg whites are cracked into a firm foam, and then the other ingredients are stirred in with a light folding technique. Angel cake is oil-free, so the taste and texture are very light. Angel cakes are difficult to cut with a knife, and the knife can easily press the cake down, so forks, serrated knives, and special cutters are usually used.

Angel cakes require a specialized angel cake baker, which is usually a tall, cylindrical container with a tube in the middle. Once the angel cake is baked, it should be set upside down to cool to maintain the volume. Angel cakes are usually served with sauces, such as fruit sweets, etc., and each step and process is very delicate to the pastry chef's skills.

The flower fairy raised such a topic, obviously intending to make things difficult for Sikong Yao, after all, in her eyes, a stunned young man like Sikong Yao would definitely not be able to control such a dessert.

However, in the face of tricky topics, Sikong Yao did not evade. He didn't discuss with the flower fairy, but he just nodded, indicating that he could accept it.

After negotiating the topic, the two humans entered the tense cooking session. The first step of angel cake is to beat the egg whites into a hard foaming state.

Although the flower fairy put forward this proposition with the intention of making things difficult for Sikong Yao, the funny thing is that Sikong Yao's research on angel cakes is not low, and angel cakes do not contain oil. It is a very tough cake, not easy to retract, and rich in elasticity. After being baked, it is not easy to retract even if it is not cooled down. In addition, because it is tough, it does not break as easily as chifon cakes, so it is also very easy to demold, and even if you toss it a few more times, it will not destroy the integrity of the appearance.

Because the cake with too high toughness does not taste good. So, in the recipe of angel cake, you should try to make the cake fluffier and fluffy. Therefore, on the basis of low-gluten flour, Sikong Yao added some corn starch, which is conducive to reducing the toughness of the flour, making the cake more fluffy, larger in volume and better in taste.

Seeing Sikong Yao using corn flour so skillfully, the flower fairy was also surprised, it turned out that she underestimated this little girl. I didn't expect Sikong Yao to know how to use corn flour to reconcile the taste of the cake embryo.

What surprised the flower fairy even more was that Sikong Yao actually knew how to use salt to season, and the technique and dosage were very accurate.

Salt is also an important ingredient in angel cakes. It also has the effect of increasing the whiteness of the cake, in addition. It can increase the flavor of the cake. Tartar powder or white vinegar is added to the egg whites to balance the alkalinity of the egg whites. This is especially important in angel cakes, because angel cakes are made only with egg whites, and if the egg whites are too alkaline, the baked cake will be creamy yellow and will not have a white texture. And the taste will also be bad.

Unexpectedly found that Sikong Yao was not much worse than the flower fairy in dessert techniques, and the people who originally did not have any hope for Sikong Yao were suddenly taken aback, maybe this little girl could really win against the flower fairy.

And the flower fairy, the initiator of the topic of angel cake, was even more startled by Sikong Yao, but after a while, the corners of her mouth raised a strange arc.

Sikong Yao, who was immersed in his own cooking, didn't notice this abnormal change at all, but Dai Zangqing, who had been watching the flower fairy's actions off the scene, really captured this detail.

Although this smile is extremely vague and fleeting, Dai Zangqing can't forget it, because that feeling is exactly the same as the expression of the flower fairy when she turned against her at the beginning!

Dai Zangqing's heart was immediately stunned, and he felt bad, and then looked at the ingredients that the flower fairy was dealing with, even if it was a layman, Dai Zangqing could see that she was not making cakes at all, and she was tricked!

What the flower fairy is going to do, judging from the amount of cocoa butter she uses, is a devil cake represented by butter and chocolate!

The devil cake, also known as the chocolate cake, is the opposite of the angel cake, a dessert known for its rich taste, and under such a powerful shock, the taste of the angel cake made by Sikong Yao will be masked, and it will become dull.

Unexpectedly, the flower fairy broke her promise again, Dai Zangqing was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but Sikong Yao smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, let her go, whatever she does, at least my strength will not be discounted." If I can't win against her at the beginning, I can't win at what she does, and if she doesn't get as good as me at the beginning, no matter what tricks she plays, she won't be able to win me in the end. This is something that is destined from the beginning, as long as you know this, you should cherish every minute and every second in the process of eating halberds, and let yourself continue to learn and move forward, instead of playing these time-wasting tricks. ”

Sikong Yao's statement was once again praised by the five elders, and this kind of wholehearted devotion to the realm of cooking is probably unattainable by no one in the audience.

Elder Yue sighed with emotion: "If this person came to the St. Yide Road Cooking Academy ten years earlier, where would there be a foothold for the Nightless Cooking Academy and the Huaxia Royal Academy now?" ”

An hour passed in a flash, and Sikong Yao and the flower fairy had completed each other's brightness, with a beautiful angel cake with a fruit sculpture, and a demon cake with a bright color and a seductive atmosphere, which attracted people's attention like two sculptures.

The flower fairy has no fear, although Sikong Yao's strength showed her was really a little surprising, but she firmly believed that her strength was superior, so she said: "Don't say that I bullied you, just let your cake go first, lest if you appear behind me, there will be no taste at all." ”

Sikong Yao smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay." ”

Presenting his work, Sikong Yao introduced to the five elders: "This is an angel cake with rose dew wine instead of rum, the wine flavor can reduce the fishy smell of egg whites and make the cake full of wine aroma, I hope you hope so." ”

Elder Yue nodded with satisfaction, it can be said that Sikong Yao is the most satisfied student he has been with all these years, and her strength is not bad, so she has received unanimous praise.

"The degree of beating of the eggs is just right, the taste is very light, what I didn't expect is that you actually used a hollow mold, can you tell me why?" Elder Ri was very curious, and when he cut the cake, he realized that in addition to the top covered with meringue, the middle of the cake was completely hollow.

Sikong Yao explained: "I hollowed out the inside of the cake and put a small glass of rose wine in the oven, so that the flavor of the wine could volatilize and penetrate into every corner of the cake. ”

Elder Ri nodded with satisfaction and said, "I see, it's really delicious, after eating so many things with a rich taste, it's really a pleasure to be able to eat dim sum with such an easy texture." ”

After receiving unanimous praise from the five elders, Sikong Yao was not impetuous, and after smiling, she stepped aside, because she knew in her heart that the kindness of the five elders was for her previous opinion on the halberd, not for the full affirmation of her cooking itself.

After all, she had just entered the inner courtyard not long ago, and compared with those powerful masters with rich experience, she was still a step behind.

This kind of thing, even if you don't need to say it, when it's the flower fairy's turn to appear in the demon cake, you will know everything.

The flower fairy's cake, whether in terms of shape or taste, is far beyond Sikong Yao by more than one grade, at least in the cake shop, if there is no special need, it is obvious that this demon cake is more likely to be liked by people.

knew that she was invincible, but Sikong Yao did not show the slightest unwilling expression, because she knew that things were far from ending so simply.

Looking at Sikong Yao's inexplicable smile, the flower fairy's heart suddenly felt a little frizzy, but she couldn't guess Sikong Yao's intentions, so she turned her head to look at the judges, waiting for them to announce her victory.

However, the moment the flower fairy turned her head, she was met with five disdainful expressions.

Elder Qian shouted very displeasedly, "Hey...... Is it now left with a cake that tastes sour? ”

The flower fairy frowned suddenly: "Sour? ”

Elder Qian said again: "Yes, you shouldn't have added a whole bottle of vinegar to it, right?" ”

"How is that possible!" The flower fairy screamed, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing, this devil cake, obviously a rich and mellow chocolate delicacy, how could it be sour?

Elder Qian saw that the flower fairy was displeased, and his mood was also impostor, and he shouted: "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself, whether it is sour or not!" ”

The flower fairy choked up, could it be that the cake she made was really sour? At this time, Sikong Yao's inexplicable smile resurfaced in front of her eyes, and the flower fairy's heart fell into a panic...... (To be continued.) )
