How to choose fresh ingredients
What is all-purpose flour? How to choose all-purpose flour
- All-purpose flour is commonly known as flour type 11, made from soft winter wheat and hard spring wheat, with a high gluten content, widely used in the preparation of various types of bread such as bread or pastries.
- Currently, there are many different types of flour available on the market, from brands to price levels, but generally, to ensure you choose good quality flour, you should pay attention to the information on the product packaging such as the production date and expiration date; newly produced flour will have a finer and more airy texture compared to older flour.
- In addition, you should also choose to buy flour at supermarkets or the TasteVN store system to ensure the flour is stored properly and to easily check the origin of the product.
How to choose delicious cream
- To choose delicious and standard cream, you should pay close attention to information such as origin, production date, and expiration date of the product when purchasing. Newly produced cream will taste better and have a longer shelf life.
- Carefully check the product packaging to avoid choosing products with damaged or moldy packaging, as this can affect the quality of the product inside.
- Choose cream types with a volume or weight suitable for your usage needs, as cream is very difficult to preserve; if kept for too long, it can affect health when used.
- Additionally, you can also refer to how to make cream at home to ensure the quality and taste of the cream.

Whip the egg whites
Use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites for about 5 seconds until large bubbles form. Next, add 120g of granulated sugar, start the mixer at a low speed for about 2 minutes, then increase the speed to high, and whip until the egg whites form stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted, then stop.
Continue by adding the whipped egg yolk and egg white mixture into a bowl and fold together. Mix until the cake batter is homogeneous.
Folding method for mixing batter:- This is a series of cutting – folding – turning motions that are repeated when mixing cake batter.
- Use a spatula to cut through half of the batter down to the bottom of the bowl, scoop the batter from the bottom up and rotate around the bowl. Continue to repeat similar motions until the batter and egg are well combined.
