sugar. Whisk until it is creamy.
3. Add oil and whisk until combined.
4. Add milk, salt and vanilla extract, and
whisk until combined.
5. Sift the dry ingredients into the mixture.
Mix until incorporated.
6. In another bowl, beat the egg whites.
Start with low speed. Add cream of tartar
and beat until it is bubbly.
7. Add sugar little by little. Increase speed
and beat until stiff peaks form.
8. Gently fold in the egg white mixture in
3 batches into the batter. Repeat the
folding technique in circular movement.
This will help to create air in the batter so
that the cake will become light and fluffy.
9. Pour the batter into the pan. Use a stick
or skewer to do as shown in the video
(spiral movement) to release trapped
bubbles. Tap the pan few times on the
table to further release air bubbles.
10. Bake at 140°C / 285°F for about 50-55
minutes. Use a toothpick or cake test to
check if the cake is cooked.
11. Remove from oven and cool it on the
cooling rack.
12. Slice the cake into 4 layers of sheet.
Dark Chocolate Ganache
13. In a bowl, add dark chocolate chip.
14. In a small pot, add whipping cream
and bring it to a boil. Remove the pot
from the heat as soon as it reaches
boiling stage.
15. Pour the cream onto the chocolate
and let it rest for 2 min. Stir the mixture
until it is completely melted and no
lumps. If you find lumps, just microwave
for 1 min and continue stirring until
completely melted.
16. It is still runny in this stage. Refrigerate
it for 30 min or until it is thickened. Whisk
it for 1 to 2 min and you will see a lighter
brown on the chocolate. The mixture will
also become a thicker consistency.
Ganache is ready for use.
