Chicken cake, which was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, once swept across China, and such chicken cake seems to be more common in counties and villages.
At that time, the lack of materials, coupled with the lack of traffic, so there are not many snacks that can be selected, the chicken cake that is red all over the country is put in the north and south of the river today is the internet celebrity, but its status is today's net red food can not be achieved, the old-fashioned chicken cake is the childhood memory of several generations, the eighties and nineties because the chicken cake is too red, there are also shops on the street that process chicken cake, as long as you take the local eggs to the boss to process, pay by the pound, you can get the oily soft and sweet chicken cake, Such shops, like chicken cakes, were as impressively trafficked at the time.
Chicken cake material is not complicated, a little egg at home with flour, and then add a little sugar can be done, chicken cake processing materials are simple, the steps are simple, the test is the quality of the eggs and the power of the whole egg, and finally the blessing of the baking temperature, and then we can have a very famous century-old pastry shop here also do chicken cake, the chicken cake of this shop adds a lot of sesame oil, eat more fragrant.
To make this chicken cake need to pay attention to the use of eggs placed at room temperature, if it is an egg taken out of the refrigerator, it needs to be put outdoors for a period of time, flour is best to use low gluten flour, in addition, if the taste of sesame oil is not rejected, it is recommended to put more sesame oil to ensure that you will eat a different taste of chicken cake, in addition, eggs to use fresh eggs the best, the chicken cake made of eggs is also good-looking, with a golden color looks very attractive.
Although the old-fashioned chicken cake is not much skill, sending the whole egg is an important point of success or failure of the chicken cake, the whole egg is more difficult than the simple egg white, if it is cold to make chicken cake, it is best to put a larger basin with warm water under the basin that will need to send the whole egg liquid, if you use an electric hairdresser at room temperature, at most ten minutes to send it off, the state of success is to send a good egg beater, and the egg liquid droplets on the hook can not disappear quickly in the basin. The egg liquid that drips on the hook can clearly draw a line of 8.
Another thing to pay attention to is to pour low-gluten flour into the beaten egg mixture, the mixing action should be fast, from the bottom down, in a clockwise direction while turning the basin, turning to no dry powder, and maintaining the fluffy state after the egg liquid is beaten.
Finally, add sesame oil and stir once to put the egg paste into the mold and bake it. If you don't like sesame oil, you can skip this step and put the egg paste directly into the mold to bake, and wait fifteen minutes to taste the earthy chicken cake.
Ingredients: 5 eggs 120 grams of low gluten flour 60 grams of sugar (the amount of sugar is suitable for personal preferences) 30 grams of sesame oil
Step: Beat the native eggs and sugar in the basin, use an electric whisk to beat, you can start with high speed, use low and medium speed in the middle; so that the taste is not rough, more dense;
The state of successful dispatching is that the lines dripping from the egg liquid will not disappear immediately; too short or too long will lead to unsuccessful cake making;
After adding the sieved low-gluten flour, add the egg mixture twice for mixing, from bottom to top, stirring with one hand and turning the basin with the other;
Stir in the mixed egg paste into the sesame oil for the last mix, mix until the oil and egg paste are mixed, the technique is still fast;
Pour the egg paste into the mold;
The mold poured into the egg liquid gently pick up the light shock twice, shake out the bubbles, the oven will be preheated in advance after the mold containing the egg paste is put into the oven, the middle layer of 180 degrees 15 minutes or so can be done, each brand of oven fire is not the same, so pay attention to observation when baking, adjust the size of the fire in time;
When baking, you can smell the fragrance of the whole house, and after 15 minutes, this earthy chicken cake is ready, the surface cracking is normal, it does not affect the taste at all, it is dense and sweet, like the taste of chicken cake when I was a child.
I also added a little yogurt and vanilla essence with the excess egg mixture, and the cake was made with a milky taste and did not crack;
