Foolproof secrets to a Perfect Sponge(Genoise) | Pastry 101 | Best Recipe & fail proof

[@samsoul3571]

i dont think you can do better to present the genoise technique. simple, clear. with all the right tips and explanation. I am speechless. this is genius.

[@HanbitCho]

thanks.

This channel is so underrated. I love the recipes and they are easy to understand and I love that Hanbit explains why certain steps and techniques are needed. These are things that he must have learned in Pastry School and he is practically sharing it to us for free. This is Gold!

If I found this channel earlier, I would've been able to avoid so many mistakes when I first started! So many channels don't explain anything, not in nearly as much detail. This is a treasure find. I'm getting all my friends who bake to subscribe to Hanbit's channel! Thank you Hanbit for the attention to detail, top-notch quality content, and your generously giving us all that you know!

[@HanbitCho]

Great to hear!

[@HanbitCho]

There is an error in my video! At around 8:15, I sum up the key points and for Point Number 4, it shouldn't say "Whisk on low speed for 1~2minutes". You do not whisk at this stage. You're just FOLDING it with your spatula. Sorry for the error! P.S. You can purchase the leveling bar on Amazon.com. The search term is "Fondant & Dough Leveler Set"

Thank you chef! I am currently attending a Culinary school and was looking for accurate tutorial videos to practice my "skills" at home. So far, this is the only video I found that has the right methods and techniques on Genoise sponge. A point I would want to add, if you don't dissolve the sugar properly with the eggs, it will curdle the egg yolks and you will end up not having a smooth texture :D hence, the heat is important... and you must not reach more than 40 degrees or you will end up with scrambled eggs lol

Can we make a genoise (sponge cake) by separating egg whites and yolks? I've seen plenty of recipes using this method too. Btw, this was so helpful!

[@sixinlanciault9210]

Hi Hanbit! Thank you for the detailed video! I’ve made this recipe a couple times now and one problem I keep running into is that as soon as I add in the twice-sifted flour into the batter and start folding, the bubbles start popping so fast and the remaining bubbles become quite large (in the span of a minute). The final texture of the cake has larger bubbles and is tougher than I like. I’m not really sure where things went wrong. I’m sure my folding skills still need improvement😁, but is it possible to overwhip the batter past the ribbon stage so that when the flour is added they all burst? Thank you!!

[@HanbitCho]

yeah the folding part isn't easy - take a look at my video and follow my motion. The point is to mix everything homogeneously with the minimum number of folds - and this is purely up to experience. Overwhipping doesn't help becuz there's so much air the batter can hold - and also you'll have to tighten the air bubbles anyway.
