Hello Aunty Yochana,
Why is it white? Is it because there were no egg yolks or you used shortening?
Thanks
Hi Kim,
It's white because there are no egg yolks. 100% egg white.

You are always so generous in sharing your recipes. I hope to take a lesson from you when I visit S'pore this year. Do you have a schedule of your baking classes for 2009 ? If you can email me that would be great. iluvwombats@gmail.com

Hi Aunty,
Thanks for the recipe.
May I know if I can replace the cake flour with superfine flour because I have just bought a pack of superfine flour? Are they the same kind (as in same gluten level)?
Hi Let's masak,
yes you can use superfine flour.

Hi anonymous (appreciate if you could leave your nickname tho).
I'm sure you have measuring cups at home.
1 cup of flour (plus minus) = 145 gm.

Hi Aunty,
For this recipe, do you whisk the egg whites using electric mixer or by hand? Do I have to whisk them til they turn white and stiff? Thanks
Regards
Eunice
Hi Eunice,
Can use both methods..no problem. Whisk till stiff peak.
rgds
Hi aunty,
Do we need to grease or lin the tin? If so, do we grease and line only the base? or the sides as well?
regards,
youfei
Hi youfei,
I did not grease the tin.
I only line the base of the tin.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
You mention that 1 cup of flour is approx. 145g so for this recipe it require 31/4 cups. So am i correct that the total is 471g of flour? I've tried but the butter and flour mixture turn out to like a cookie dough. Very thick and quite difficult to fold in the egg white. After baking, it looks like a kueh. Do you have any idea what could have went wrong? Please help. I really wish to try to make again. Thank you.
Regards
Cookie Monster
hi cookie monster,
did you put in 1 cup of milk? Please do not cut down the sugar for this cake. I hope you did not miss out the egg white too. Yes 1 cup flour is roughly 145 gm.

Hi Yochana,
Can I add coco powder to 1/2 portion to make into mable butter cake instead of white butter cake? How much coco powder should i add and must i reduce the amount of flour? Thanks so much/
anonymous
hi anonymous,
it depends on how much marble effect you want. Just agak agak will do. Use 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder to mix with the batter.

Hi Aunty,
I had tried to make this cake. Very delicious.
Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
Here is my attempt.

My cake is not as fluffy as yours, is it because of the egg white? I beat not stiff enough? Or overmix?
Thanks for your advice. ^O^
Hi Aunty Yochana
Thought I'll try this new butter cake recipe but just wondering what can I do with the egg yolks? Can I keep the yolks in the chiller 1st ie. if it can be used for other recipe? Thanks.
Hi lyn,
You cannot keep egg yolks for too long. Cover your egg yolks with a sheet of plastic till it touches the egg yolks and keep it the chiller to prevent a skin forming. I think it can keep for at least 3 days. You can make lapis, chiffon or swiss rolls that requires more egg yolks.

Hi Aunty,
is it alright to replace the cake flour with plain flour?
Hi aunty Yochana. I have been searching for a simple butter cake recipe. I've tried baking one after some short hiatus from baking.The ingredients were almost the same,but my cake failed. The cake does not rise, still smell of eggs, and brittle like a bread crumbs! Can u advise me on a very basic tips of baking and how to avoid your cake the rise in the middle and then crack? Thank you
