Montblanc Qi Feng Cake

1. Prepare the ingredients

2. Separate the egg yolks and beat them with an egg beater until the color turns slightly white

3. Add milk and stir to blend

4. Add corn oil and stir to blend

5. Sieve in low gluten flour, mix up and down, and gently mix to form a delicate batter (do not over mix, the batter will produce gluten)

6. Add millet puree and mix well

7. Separate the protein and place it in a deep bowl without oil or water. Add a few drops of white vinegar and stir with an electric egg beater to create a thick foam

8. Add one-third of the sugar and stir at high speed

9. When delicate bubbles appear, add the remaining half of the sugar and continue stirring at high speed

10. Beat for about 1 minute, add the remaining white sugar and continue stirring at high speed

11. When it's almost done, turn to low speed and stir until it's hard and foamy (or keep going at high speed). The egg beater can pull out a firm right angle, and the protein cream is ready

12. Take 1/3 of the protein cream and mix it with the egg yolk batter. Use a scraper to stir up and down evenly, without drawing circles, and start preheating the oven at 160 degrees

13. After mixing the batter, take another 3 parts of this 1 protein cream and stir evenly with a scraper up and down

14. Pour all the mixed batter back into the remaining protein cream, and stir evenly with a scraper up and down

15. The mixed batter is fluffy and delicate in volume

16. Pour the batter into a 6-inch mold (either hollow or flat), smooth the surface, and lift it to shake the internal bubbles a few times

17. Put it into the preheated oven, select the cake function, place the middle layer, and adjust it to 155 degrees for 25 minutes (my oven has a cake function and is equipped with hot air. Please set the temperature according to your own oven)

18. After the time is over, gently tap the surface of the cake with your hand, there is no flowing rustling sound, or insert a toothpick without batter to take out

19. Take it out and invert it, let it cool before demolding.
