1st week class

1st week class, we had been assigned to do some experiment on Angel Cake


We had to do:

1. A basic formula angel cake
2. A over-beating of the egg whites 
3. An under-beating of the egg whites

Basically, we need to observe the difference between all this 3 cakes


The recipe for the basic formula is:

• 10g of sugar
• 15g of cake flour
• 41g of egg whites
• 32g of sugar
• 0.6g of cream tartar
• 0.1g of salt

So, for over-beating of the egg whites means we beat the egg whites too long, while under-beating means we beat the egg for a while.


This is the images of the angel cake before we bake it

                                                                    basic angel cake

                                                                over-beating angel cake

                                                              under-beating angel cake


and this is the product of our cake after baking it:

                                                                     Basic angel cake

                                                                      Over-beating angel cake

                                                                     Under-beating angel cake


After the experiment done, we realized that the frequent of beating the egg whites can effect the taste, texture, the volume and the tenderness of the angel cake.
