Instructions
1
Step 1
Mix corn oil and milk, microwave for about 3 minutes, until the liquid temperature is around 60 degrees...
2
Step 2
Sift in low-gluten flour; this is the hot flour method (adding eggs later), which makes the texture of the cake roll more delicate
3
Step 3
Stir in a Z-shape or straight line until there are no lumps; absolutely do not stir in circles
4
Step 4
Add egg yolks, continue to mix evenly in a Z-shape or straight line (my picture shows the amount for 2 golden pans, so there are 10 egg yolks)
5
Step 5
The evenly mixed egg yolk batter is delicate and beautiful
6
Step 6
Drop in red velvet essence and mix evenly
7
Step 7
Add fine sugar to the egg whites in 3 batches, beat to a soft peak stage where the whisk leaves a large curved hook; a state close to stiff peaks is best
8
Step 8
Mix the egg whites with the egg yolk batter using cut-and-fold and fold techniques

Step 10
Pour into a golden pan, smooth the surface, and tap lightly 2 or 3 times (golden pan size is 28*28)
11
Step 11
Preheat oven, 165 degrees for 20 minutes (I am using the Dongling Roast Cube, so I place it on the very bottom of the oven; for a regular oven, place it on the middle rack)
12
Step 12
Remove from oven and let cool
13
Step 13
Remove from oven and let cool, add the whipped heavy cream (about 200g), roll it up, and refrigerate for one hour to set; I am doing a reverse roll; use the remaining heavy cream with a 6-star piping tip to decorate the surface
14
Step 14
Simply place sugar pearls on the surface for decoration

Step 15
The finished product is especially elegant and noble
