10g - Sugar

15g - Cake Flour

41g - Egg Whites 

32g - Sugar 

0.6g - Cream of Tartar

0.1g - Salt

Equipment :

flour shive, whisk & spatula.

Method :

• Preheat oven to 350F (177c) except for produce 6 which has separate baking directions. Line the bottom of each individual loaf pan (5” x 2 ½” X 2) with wax paper cut to fit. Do not grease the sides of the pan.

• Sift flour first weight (10g) of sugar together and set sides. 

• Beat the egg white together to the foamy stage , using wrist mixer (same kind for all parts of the experiments)

• Unless indicated differently in a specific series, add the cream of tartar and salt (note: if it were being used, flouring would be added with the cream of tartar) continue beating on the faster mixer setting while gradually adding 32g sugar.

• Beat the whites until the peaks just bend over. 

• Sift ¼ of the flour-sugar mixture over the whites.

• Fold in gently with 10 strokes using a rubber spatula.

• Sift the second ¼ of the  flour-sugar mixture over the whites and fold in gently with 10 stokes, followed by the same process for the third addition

• Sift the final ¼ (making a total of 50 folding strokes with the rubber spatula.

• Gently push and weight 90g of the better into the pan.

• Finish all of the cakes being baked in one before placing them all in the oven at the same time. Bake until the surface springs back when touched lightly with air circulating under the pan, less than 30 minutes.

• When almost cool, remove from the pan.

Chef Zaid given a task to each group. This are our group 1 experiment

1- Varying the amount of folding

(a) 20 strokes- Follow the basic formula, but fold only 5 strokes each addition (a total of 20 strokes)

result 20 stokes after bake

(b) 50 strokes (control)- Follow the basic formula 

result 50 stokes after bake

(c)  80 strokes- Follow the basic formula, but fold 20 strokes after each addition (a total of 80 strokes)

result 80 stokes after bake
