戚风蛋糕制作 番茄美食烘培坊



戚风蛋糕是烘焙的必修课,也是最常用的,最好吃的。生日蛋糕的底一般都用戚风
先上成品图
戚风蛋糕成功有三点很重要:
  1. 盛蛋清容器必须是无油、无水、无蛋黄的,最好用不锈钢深盆;
  2. 要用非防粘的模具,因为戚风是要靠壁力往上爬的,也不能垫油纸和锡纸哦;
  3. 一定要烤1个小时以上,戚风才能涨的很高。如果您的烤箱温度偏高,可以适当降低温度,总之一定要烤够1个小时才行。
原料:鸡蛋5个,低筋面粉85克,色拉油40克,鲜牛奶40克,细砂糖60克(加入蛋白中),细砂糖30克(加入蛋黄中),图中的淡奶油是裱花用的。

          低筋粉 http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17014144380
          细砂糖 http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14529178228
蛋白蛋黄分离,盛蛋白的盆要保证无油无水,最好使用不锈钢盆。
2、用打蛋器把蛋白打到呈鱼眼泡状的时候,加入1/3的细砂糖(20克),继续搅打到蛋白开始变浓稠,呈较粗泡沫时,再加入1/3糖。再继续搅打,到蛋白比较浓稠,表面出现纹路的时候,加入剩下的1/3糖。
3、再继续打一会儿,当提起打蛋器,蛋白能拉出弯曲的尖角的时候,表示已经到了湿性发泡的程度。继续搅打,当提起打蛋器的时候,蛋白能拉出一个短小直立的尖角,就表明达到了干性发泡的状态,可以停止搅打了。
4.把打好的蛋白放入冰箱冷藏,开始制作蛋黄糊。把5个蛋黄加入30克细砂糖,用打蛋器轻轻打散。不要把蛋黄打发。
         
5. 依次加入40克色拉油和40克牛奶,搅拌均匀。再加入过筛后的面粉,用橡皮刮刀轻轻翻拌均匀。不要过度搅拌,以免面粉起筋这是做好的蛋黄糊
6. 盛1/3蛋白到蛋黄糊中。用橡皮刮刀轻轻翻拌均匀(从底部往上翻拌,不要划圈搅拌,以免蛋白消泡)。翻拌均匀后,把蛋黄糊全部倒入盛蛋白的盆中,用同样的手法翻拌均匀,直到蛋白和蛋黄糊充分混合。
7. 这是混合好后的蛋糕糊。
8. 将混合好的蛋糕糊倒入模具,抹平,用手端住模具在桌上用力震两下,把内部的大气泡震出来。放进预热好的烤箱,170度,约1个小时即可。烤好后的蛋糕从烤箱里取出来,立即倒扣在冷却架上直到冷却。
9.冷却后脱模,戚风必须用非防粘的模具,脱模时不容易啊,可以用脱模刀,很好用,脱好的如下。就可以切了吃啦,也可以裱花各种生日蛋糕

給我最親愛的叮噹


 親愛的機器貓
今天是妳長埋土中和我們大家永別的日子
自從聽到妳的消息之後 我的心就糾結了很久
難過 難受 真的很難過
心都碎了
整顆心就是沒有辦法組織起來
腦海裡都是滿滿我們一起的回憶
雖然很短 但妳這輩子 是沒有白過的
妳的存在 讓我們都了解到你的溫情
好比一個親姐姐
照顧身邊所有的人
義不容辭
義無反顧
雖然我們相識的這幾年裡
不常見面
不常聯絡
可是 我感覺到妳的熱情
永遠那麼的開朗 活潑
中氣十足
就像是一個認識了數十年的老朋友一樣
擁有相當的默契
一個眼神
一個表情
舉手投足
就能夠知道對方在想什麼
可是
就在送妳走的那一個晚上
我看到一個和平常不一樣的叮噹
靜靜地沉睡了
不再聽到妳一如往常像叮鈴般的說話聲 笑聲
我多麼希望妳能夠突然冒出一句廣東話
就像你平常一樣
華文說的急了
就會冒出廣東話來一樣
我告訴檸檬
這條去妳家的路 
變得非常長 很長 很長
本來就應該是星期六我們開開心心的走
地鐵越接近 我心裡越害怕
害怕一切都是真的
那一天
我們默默的陪了妳一個晚上
讓我想起了
我們第一次見面
和海豚 筱彥 大頭貓 猴子 等等
大夥兒到卡拉OK
妳還帶了大家最愛的粉紅香檳
正當大家唱的興高采烈
妳卻喝醉了
倒在沙發上
讓我們大家笑了妳好長的一段時間
原來妳的酒量真的就那麼淺
然後妳還說
妳沒買什麼見面禮給我
因為我們大家這麼熟了
就不必見外了
可是很冤枉
我們才第一次見面
才只有網上交流了那麼幾次
我們哪裡有熟了
妳就是這麼的熱情
好像每個人都是妳認識了數十年的老朋友
還有
那時猴子還沒回國的時候
我們一起去喝酒談心事
談了好多好多
好想好想回到那個時候
多和妳聊聊天
雖然已經第五天了
我的心情卻還是沒辦法平伏下來
想起妳離開的前一天
我還剛剛和妳msn
告訴妳妳將會看到毛毛蟲
因為我知道妳很喜歡小孩
妳很喜歡看到薰薰和毛毛蟲
妳還興奮的問我想不想準備什麼好吃的
我好想為妳再準備妳喜歡吃的
我好想再聽到妳的笑聲
好想再抱抱妳
親愛的叮噹
我會一輩子懷念妳
妳在雲端的那頭要過得更好
無病無痛
無憂無慮
一路走好
永別
我最親愛的叮噹
