Chapter 296 - Cooking Show 2

Xin first free heated the oven before he started making the cake.

Nojiko and Nami were confused why he opened the oven while he was still not done making the raw cake.

Nami asked," Hey Xin, why did you open the oven, you did not even start making the cake?"

Xin calmly said," Preheating an oven is especially important with baking when you use yeast, baking soda and baking powder as leavenings – which react to heat."

"Food also cooks faster in a preheated oven – you've got the right temperature from the get-go and your dish can start cooking immediately and properly."

Nami and Nojiko now understand," So you can make the cooking faster"

Xin takes 4 large eggs into a large bowl and passes it to Harpie, he asks," Can you whip this for 1 minute in high speed?"

Harpie grabs the bowl and starts to whip the egg at a fast speed.

Xin added," And please be careful spilling it over !"

Harpie nodded and carefully whipped the egg, minutes later Xin added one cup of powdered sugar and he let Harpie continue to whip it.

While Harpie is whipping the egg, Xin takes out around the cake pan and brushes melted butter into it, doing this can make the cake easily remove from the cake pan.

After that he gets one cup of all-purpose flour and one tbsp of baking powder and sift it. He sift it twice so he can ensure that he removes all large particles of the flour.

Then he melted a batter and combine it with hot water after that whisk it together to mix

After Harpie whipping the egg and sugar for 15 minutes at high speed, Xin can see the egg is already ready. The batter ribbon falling off the whisk doesn't disappear for about 2-3 seconds seeing that he knows that it's already good.

Then he adds 1 tbsp of vanilla extract that he buys in the system shop because he can't find any store selling it on this island and then he mixes it again.

Now he add the flour into the whipped eggs in halves, carefully folded it with a spatula while forming the number 8 in each stroke.

After the mixture is mixed together, he add the last halt to the mix and carefully mix it together.

Then he add the melted butter mixture into the batter and carefully fold with a spatula until no streaks of liquid are seen.

After seeing the raw cake is already done, Xin now transfers it into the cake pan that he is already ready.

Then he baked it for 30 minutes until it was done.

Xin slime at them and said," just like that you can make a simple sponge cake using my method"

"It's easy and affordable, not only that it was delicious too"

Nami asks," Then what when are you going to use the tangerine that you buy?"

"Xin smile and said," Easy little missy, I will make it as cake icing"

First, he gets 3 large eggs and separates the egg white to egg yolk then he warms the eggs in a bain-marie over low heat for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly. Do this just until the egg whites have become warm but are not cooking. This will kill any bacteria in the eggs making them even safer to use when raw.

Then he transfers it to a clean large bowl and passes it to Harpie again.

Xin said," Beat this in high speed again until it foamy"

Harpie nodded and started to beat the egg at high speed.

While Harpie beating the egg, Xin take some tangerine and squeeze it to take some juice

Seeing that the egg starts to foamy he gradually adds sifted sugar spoonful by spoonful followed by the tangerine juice.

He uses tangerine juice, not lemon juice because he wants to make the icing more fruity.

Then he asks Harpie to beat it faster until thickened.

After that, he covers the icing and stores it in the refrigerator to prevent it from becoming hard. Then he takes some tangerine and peels it.

Taking the flesh of the fruit Xin carefully slice it in half and carefully store it in the refrigerator.

After 15 minutes the sponge cake is done, Xin take it out from the oven and let it rest on the table.

Xin said," Okey that's all, i only need to do is cooldown my cake and i'm done"

Nami asks," Why do you need to wait for the cake to cool down?"

Xin smile and explained to them," Cooling the cake will reduce the amount of crumbling when you go ahead to split the cake layer in two horizontally"

Stella come closer to Xin and said," I will make a tangerine base food to master"

Harpie seriously said," Me too, I think I can make a tangerine base cake too"

Xin gently smile at them and said," Okay do whatever you want just don't make too much mess in my kitchen"

Stella and Harpie nod and then start making cake.

Koala and Chaos hurry ask," We will help too!"

While Melan is following them, suddenly Beymax walked at Xin and said,

*Professor voice [ Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice ]

Nami walks in front of Baymax and asks," Hey Xin, is this your pet?"

Baymax stared at Nami and more precisely at her c.h.e.s.t.

*Mickey Mouse Voice [All You Need Is Love…And Cupcakes ]

Xin laughed hard when he heard what he said," Hahahahaha!!! A cupcake!!"

Nami foolishly looking at Xin and Baymax, she dont know what that means.

While Nojiko smiles at her sister who dont know that she already makes fun of them.

Nojiko suddenly asks," hey Xin is your cake can make people fat?"

Before even Xin replied, Baymax already answered.
