Black Sesame Classic Sponge Cake 黑芝麻古早味蛋糕




"沒有最好,只有更好" 用來形容這蛋糕真是最貼切。口感鬆軟、細膩,有入口即溶的感覺。成份沒有牛油,只用液體菜油。健康簡單,不用什麼裝飾或餡料,它已是一款很受歡迎的甜品 (特別在台灣、香港等地方)。今次我加入黑芝麻粉,香味濃郁,吃完一件又想吃多件。

If I were to describe this cake in a few words, it would be that it bested the best. But as they say, there is always room for improvement, and I know that in the future I will find a way to make a cake even better than this one. But for now, this cake only uses vegetable oil. Without the use of any butter at all, it is incredibly light and soft and gives you a feeling of melt-in-your-mouth cotton candy. No wonder it is so popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The addition of black sesame powder not only makes it more healthy, but it also imparts an irresistible aroma.
