Brown Sugar Steamed Sponge Cake Recipe Tips
- Choosing Fresh Ingredients
Fresh ingredients, such as eggs, should be used. Choose a medium-sized egg. Make use of new and active ingredients.
Bring the dough ingredients to room temperature if they have recently been removed from the refrigerator; otherwise, the dough will not rise.
- Follow the recipe’s ingredient measurements.
The proportions of wet and dry ingredients must be equal. The dough will not thicken properly and will not rise completely if there are too many eggs. The sugar amount must also be just right; do not reduce it to the size of this single egg. The sugar in the steamed sponge cake recipe aids in the expansion and stability of the eggs when mixed.
- How to Whip the Dough
To prevent the cake from deflating, do not overbeat the dough. Simply ensure that the dough is white and thick. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until soft peaks form. I believe this stage is sufficient to cause the steamed sponge to bloom.
- Sift the Flour
