Chilled Cake

　　Chilled Cake, a steamed dessert, features a soft and tender texture that melts in the mouth, with a sweet and fragrant taste. Cooking method: steaming. This dessert is especially suitable for consumption in late spring, summer, and early autumn, and also makes a great breakfast item, cold dessert, or accompaniment to banquets.

　　Use premium flour and fresh eggs, mixing them in the following proportions: 400g flour, 500g sugar, 100g maltose, 500g eggs, and a trace amount of edible vanilla extract. qsv

　　Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form—they should be firm enough that a chopstick can stand upright. Beat the egg yolks with sugar until no sugar grains remain, then mix in the flour. Combine with the beaten egg whites to form a smooth batter. Line the steamer basket with white paper, pour in the batter, steam over high heat until cooked, then let it cool before cutting. qsv

　　Key tips: The batter should be of moderate consistency—when scooped, it should fold back slowly without collapsing too quickly. Place the steamer basket over boiling water and only pour in the batter once steam starts rising. When cooling and cutting, start cutting from the bottom and finish at the top. qsv
