HOT WATER BATH: This definitely helps to prevent cracks on top of your cake during baking and yield a moister cake too
#Zebra cakes crack#
MERINGUE: We want to whip it to stiff but do not overwhip it or the cake may crack when you bake itģ. I usually wipe the bowl and equipment with a bit of vinegar to get rid of any trace of oilĢ. CLEAN BOWL AND EQUIPMENT: Greasy bowl and whip attachment are disastrous when it comes to whipping the meringues. The egg white will whip better at room temperature.Ģ. ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS: Take the eggs and milk out from the fridge 30 minutes before you plan to make the cake is best when you can. Definitely don’t use anything smaller than the size I mentioned above. If you use anything bigger, the cake will be shorter if you are okay with that. This recipe yields a nice tall 3-inch cake if you use 7-inch square pan or 8-inch round pan. Most importantly is to use the right size of a pan. The square pan still yields a nice pattern too, slightly different than the round. The round cake pan will yield a “neater” zebra pattern because it follows the shape of the pan. It’s pretty much a hybrid between Japanese cheesecake and chiffon cake. It is very similar to chiffon cake, but not as tall. The Japanese cheesecake has cream cheese and also cream added for that richness. It only uses eggs and oil as a source of fat. Like I’ve mentioned before Ogura cake is a much lighter version of the rich Japanese cheesecake. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OGURA CAKE AND JAPANESE CHEESECAKE Hong dou has a symbolic meaning of “love” in the Chinese culture and hence it is named xiang si (love sick) cake. According to wikipedia, Ogura is a Japanese surname, but it can also means Japanese red beans (hong dou in Mandarin). Ogura cake is a much lighter version of the popular Japanese soft cheese cake but also airy at the same time, like chiffon cake. What? I know! I was surprised to learn that too. This cake is actually rooted in Malaysia. You might be thinking about Japanese cake because of its name “Ogura”, which is yes, it’s Japanese word.
