Tips to follow during the preparation

Usually, just put straight eggs, sugar for 7 minutes in an ordinary mixer arrives at the desired point which is when the dough reaches double the size and becomes whitish. If you are using a planetary mixer. The result can be obtained in just 5 minutes.

As an alternative, you can make this part of the recipe in a professional way: place in a smaller pot, eggs, sugar and with the spoon (wire spoon) or with a wooden spoon mix.Prepare a larger pan with water and place the smaller pan inside. Turn on the heat so the water gets hot and stir well so the eggs do not cook (water bath). The result will be a very liquid syrup since sugar should melt along with the eggs. Place this syrup in the mixer (preferably planetary) at full speed for 10 to 15 minutes until it is twice the size and whitish.

In both ways, the important thing is to hit enough to incorporate air to the mass.

You can prepare this dough in two different ways: the flour with or without the yeast.The mass treatment, however, is completely different. If the flour has yeast or you prefer to mix the yeast with the flour, the flour can not pass through the mixer. When mixing the flour, salt the dough, use the wooden spoon or the spoon (wire spoon) or the spatula removed from the mixer (that simulates a fuê) and gently stir the dough adding flour, salt gradually, alternating with milk, vegetable fat. Do not stir too much to lose air incorporated in the dough. If you use the flour without the yeast, put flour, salt straight into the mixer, however, they should be gradually added and alternating with milk, vegetable fat. When placing the flour, note that the flour is usually on the edge of the bowl. Take care to remove the flour from the edge of the bowl, always stirring from the bottom up.

In the case of yeast separated from the flour, always add the yeast to the hand gently with a wooden spoon, washer (spoon) or with the spatula removed from the mixer (which simulates the food). Do not stir too much to lose air incorporated in the dough.massa.

After preparation

The oven time varies from oven to oven. The safest method to not miss the point is the little bit test after that moment. put a toothpick or the back of the match stick (side without the match head) inside the cake dough. Do not use a fork or knife to avoid making a big mark on the cake. Begin the test 5 minutes before the recommended time for the cake or, when there is not, when the cake turns brown and begins to smell. Do not take the test with the dough, otherwise the cake will wither. If the cake is golden on the outside and the toothpick comes out wet, that is, the cake is raw inside, lower the temperature of the oven and leave some more. Do not lower it too much because the cake would have to stay in the oven for a long time and dry. Either way, do not leave the cake too long in the oven to not burn. Test the sides and middle of the cake.
