Soft & Moist Basic Sponge Cake Recipe 原味海绵蛋糕

A super-soft, light, and spongy moist sponge cake recipe. This cake is not overly sweet, tastes good on its own, and also can be used as a base for fresh cream frosting. This was my test bake using the Ninja Foodi multi-cooker Bake/Roast function. I used a smaller cake pan because I wanted a small but tall cake to make a Mother's Day theme cake. 

This was my first time making a Mother's Day theme cake.

Method:

1. Heat oil in a saucepan, when temperature reaches 80'C, remove from heat. Sift in flour and salt, mix well.
油加热至80度，熄火。加入已过筛的面粉和盐，拌均。

2. Add in milk, mix well.
加入牛奶，拌均。

3. Add in egg yolk and whole egg, mix well.
加入蛋黄和全蛋，拌均。

4. In a mixing bowl, beat egg white and lemon juice/ cream of tartar until foamy, beat in sugar gradually, beat until stiff and glossy.
把蛋白加入柠檬汁或塔塔粉，打至松发，慢慢加入糖，打至硬性发泡。

5. Fold the meringue into the yolk mixture in 3 batches. 
分次把蛋白加入蛋黄糊，用刮刀搅拌均匀。不能过度搅拌。

6. Pour the batter into a 6" baking pan. Spread the batter evenly. Gently tap 2-3 times on the worktop.  
倒入6寸烤盘。把烤盘轻轻在桌面敲2-3次。

Note: Place a damp cloth below the cake pan (optional). 
Use a bigger cake pan if you like a smooth cake surface/top.

7. Preheat Ninja Foodi Bake/ Roast mode 150'C 3mins. The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. If you do not have an oven at home, you can consider getting this multi-function cooker that bakes as well as the oven. I've attached the details and links below for easy reference.

8. Bake in the Ninja Foodi 130'C 60mins. When it's ready, remove the cake from Ninja Foodi, gently tap 1-2 times on the worktop. Invert to cool completely. Un-mould the cake, slice and enjoy!

以130度烘烤60分钟。烘烤后把蛋糕轻轻在桌上敲1-2次。倒扣待凉后脱模，即可享用。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。If you like my recipe, click here, LIKE & follow Miki's Food Archives Facebook page or follow us on Instagram: mfa_dingoozatfood  to receive more recipe updates.
