Instructions
The Preparation
- Gather your ingredients. Separate your 3 eggs into egg whites and egg yolks. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
The Batter
- Sift twice together the 57 g cake flour, 1 Tbsp. cornstarch, and ¼ Tbsp. baking powder.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 egg yolk and 2 ½ Tbsp. sugar. Whisk in the 2 ½ Tbsp. vegetable oil and the 2 Tbsp. milk until it’s light yellow and fully emulsified. Thoroughly fold in the sifted dry ingredients until there are no lumps. Set aside.
- Using an hand mixer or whisk, whip the 3 egg white until you get soft peaks. Add another 2 ½ Tbsp. sugar to the egg whites and whip until you get stiff peaks. You must be able to hold it upside down without it running.
- Taking ⅓ of the Egg Whites mixture at a time, fold it into the Egg Yolk mixture create a light and airy batter. Make sure everything is thoroughly combined. Line your baking pan with parchment paper. You can cut the four corners of the paper and overlap it to create smooth corners.
- Pour the mixture in the pan and smooth it out so it’s completely even. It’s crucial that the batter be evenly distributed in the pan. Knock the bottom of the pan on a tabletop a few times to get rid of any large air bubbles. Place the pan onto a rimmed baking sheet and pour a cup of water into the baking sheet, so your pan is sitting in a shallow water bath. Place your whole apparatus on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 15 minutes at 350ºF.
- Remove from the oven and let it just cool enough to handle . Flip the pan out onto another piece of parchment paper. Carefully peel off the parchment paper that the cake baked with. Let it slightly cool.
The Cream
- Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the ⅓ cup heavy cream along with 1 tsp sugar until you get stiff peaks. When the cake is still warm enough to be pliable but not warm enough to melt your cream, spread the whipped cream evenly onto the cake.
The Rolling
- When the cake is still warm enough to be pliable but not warm enough to melt your cream, spread the whipped cream evenly onto the cake.
- To roll the cake up, taking out a rolling pin and place it underneath the parchment paper your cake is sitting on. Slowly roll the parchment paper onto the rolling pin one side as you roll up the cake on the other. Essentially, you’re using the rolling pin to push the cake forward as you roll. At the same time, you’re using the pin to roll up the loose parchment paper.
- Gently remove the parchment paper and make a clean cut from each sides.
The Serving
- (Optional) Serve with 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar on top and serve cut.

used to have these down in china town and they were disgusting i threw up but this recipe is a huge improvement its pillowy and the cream is so clean and fresh and doesnt taste like gutter oil at all which is a massive improvement i would make these again just so i could brag about it to those damn scammers up in china town and tell them how much better it is but they wouldnt understand anyway and probably wouldnt care oh well
This recipe was one of the 3 recipes in the 80 recipes challenge that didn’t come out really good. I badly did the Bain Marie and didn’t wait enough for the water to heat which made the cooking time way longer and lead to an uneven consistency. It was still eatable and was eaten in less than one hour, but still. But I know this recipe is good as a friend always does it. Careful!
