Ingredients
egg
5 pieces

100 g
milk
70 g
big red jujube
8 pieces
olive oil
65 g
honeyed bean

Instructions
1
Step 1
Separate the egg yolk and egg white. The bowl used to hold the egg white must be completely free of water and oil.
2
Step 2
Beat the egg yolk until smooth, add 10g of granulated sugar and stir, then add 70g of milk and 65g of olive oil. Sift in 100g of low-protein flour and 3g of cream of tartar (cream of tartar prevents the beaten egg white from deflating), and mix until well combined.
3
Step 3
Remove the pits from 8 red dates, then crush them in a blender.
4
Step 4
Add the crushed red dates to the egg yolk mixture and stir until evenly combined.
5
Step 5
Add a few drops of white vinegar to the egg white, beat until large fish-eye bubbles form, then add an appropriate amount of granulated sugar. Add sugar two more times during the beating process.
6
Step 6
Continue beating until when you lift the beater, the peak of the egg white is short, stiff, and does not droop.
7
Step 7
Take one-third of the beaten egg white and mix it with the egg yolk mixture using an up-and-down mixing motion similar to stir-frying, adding the egg white in three separate batches in total.
8
Step 8
Pour the mixed batter into the chiffon cake mold, sprinkle in 10g of sweetened red beans, then shake the mold vigorously several times to release any trapped air inside.
9
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 160°C with upper and lower heat activated, bake for 40 minutes, after removing from the oven, flip the baking mold upside down on a cooling rack.
