I am new to cooking this type of sponge cake, (73 years young) so i was interested in the comprehensive education offered by the chef. How many times have we cooked something and then said to ourselves, "Well that was a disaster!" When in fact if all recipes were as comprehensive as this one, there would be no excuse. So well done chef.
I can vouch for this recipe. All my previous attempts trying different recipes failed spectacularly. Ms. Gao you are an absolute genius. I can't thank you enough for producing this video, enabling a very untalented baker like myself succeed! The second time I made it I used orange juice instead of the milk, and added orange zest and crushed cardamom seeds. Turned out beautifully. I look forward to trying other flavours with this recipe!

I was the same as you too! Failed trying so many recipes and only this one works. May I know if you sub to orange juice fully (75g) or did you still mix with some milk to make it 75g? I'm thinking of making flavoured ones next too

Love your dedication! I, myself have tried 3 times from different recipes and all failed until seeing Mrs Gao's experiment video! Really inspired me to keep trying.

Thank you for such an encouraging words, i will try this
Thank you, or channel is not only informative but you make me realize, that practice makes perfect. We fail over and over again, dabble, trying to figure out why and which method is not quite right. But never give up, the result wont lie.
That was very impressive. I am an experienced baker but didn't know all this about meringue and how it effects cake structure, and the idea of covering with foil is one I am going to try next time. thank you very much. Your videos are excellent.
Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into showing what happens with every example! It's nice to see that almost anyone could create this cake if they follow the instructions but even if they don't, as long as it's not undercooked, it's still going to work out - as well as showing how to make it perfectly.

Just Another Bucky Lover also the temperature ramp should be slow enough

@@philipq6906 Yes, of course, but the main game breaker is the bottom/centre of the cake being undercooked - cracks, as she said, aren't so much of an issue. But to make it perfectly, you have to have the right temperatures for the right amount of time, the right tin, the right meringue level, the right mixing technique, the right number/volume/mass of eggs, covering it with foil at the right stages, probably the right cooling and so on. There're definitely lots of ways to end up with the centre of the cake being undercooked but overcooking doesn't seem to be quite as much of an issue as overcooking - though I imagine it's not quite as moist.
Excellent! I hardly come across such detailed explanation on youtube. You teach, while most videos tend to show off. Keep it up!

Hello!!!! Why does my chiffon deflate? I did everything as she teach us in her video please help me 😭
I tried several recipes and methods for chiffon cake. Your method and recipe is really the best. Less oily, not too sweet and the texture of the chiffon is beautiful. I substituted the milk with fresh orange juice and added 1 tablespoon of fresh orange zest into the flour mixture to create Orange Chiffon cake. Thank You, enjoy very much your channel.

This is so dedicated to share all fundamentally basic knowledge for baking. It's the best I have ever seen, especially those extra demo's to show different aspects of baking. This is the proper way of teaching and illustrating techniques to all walks of life. Much appreciated.
I just made this cake following the exact measurement of the ingredients and it turned out to be very delicious! 谢谢!

Thank you so much! I finally made my first cake from scratch. You are amazing! I was so frustrated before and almost gave up. I loved that you shared examples of meringue under or over beaten or if different temperature or time and/or different baking pan were used. Really appreciate the subtitles. Foolproof recipe and learn some Chinese at the same time. Keep videos coming! I'm already subscribed.😊
I followed this recipe, and added vanilla extract and a little cocoa powder. Turn out great, thanks so much for sharing the recipe 😍😍😍 my family loved it, it’s fluffy soft cake that I always wanted to make.
