DIFFERENT OVEN: ELECTRIC OVEN
This time, I used different oven (Signora). It’s a full electric oven. I turned on the fan, temperature was set at 150C (when the dough is in, the temperature usually decreases), top and bottom heat are on, too.
After 15 minutes, I used only top heat with no fan for 8 minutes. It’s my standard temperature when I use gas oven (Technogas). With electric oven, 8 minutes wasn’t sufficient. I gradually added 4 minutes and added another 4 minutes because I wanted the top dry. So, total 16 minutes with electric oven. Although the the temperature was set at 150C, the thermometer inside showed 100C; that was my thought based on.
This is the condition of 8 minutes top heat only (fan off) baked with Signora electric oven. The top skin is very fragile and easily peeled off. The picture show the ‘cooling rack-stamp’ when I turn over the cake over the rack. I quickly baked again, giving 4 minutes x 2. The good thing is, this stamp can be cutting-guidance 😅. Thank goodness, the cooling rack position is ‘correct’, so the lines can be cutting guidance.
This is a proof that using different oven can give different result. Additional 8 minutes is a huge gap. If I stop at first 4 minutes, the cake’s top would still be wet. I took risk on adding second 4 minutes.
The top skin on roll cake chiffon is so fragile. It’s really really easily peeled off. It’s a bit different when we use sponge cake technique. I think, it’s a bit ‘chemical’ but I still don’t get it why. The point is, based on my experience, rollcakes: different technique different result. Which one is easier? Sponge or Chiffon technique? I think, baking roll cake is never easier using either techniques. 😂. We just have to keep practicing. Don’t forget to take notes if necessary.
Next time I want to write about rolling the cake: is it done when the cake is still hot or cold? or about temperature grading (of course based on my experience, too, inspired by a chef on youtube).
