Detailed Steps for Making Zebra Cake Roll (Detailed Version)

Prepare all ingredients (don’t forget the chocolate sauce)

First, add 15g of granulated sugar and mix well

Then add corn oil and milk one by one, mixing well after each addition

Sift the low-gluten flour into the egg bowl from a height of 10 cm, stirring until no dry powder is visible

Set aside the mixed egg yolk batter (you can preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes at this point)

Take the egg whites from the refrigerator, add a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice, and beat on high speed until foamy. Add the first portion of granulated sugar, about one-third of the total amount

Continue beating until you see light lines, then add the second portion of sugar

Beat until distinct lines appear, then add the remaining granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt, and continue beating at medium speed

Beat at medium speed until the egg whites become fine and smooth. When the egg white foam forms a large hook when lifted, it’s done. Be careful not to overbeat, as the cake roll may crack when rolling if the foam is too stiff

In a small bowl, mix 10g of egg yolk batter with 10g of egg white foam (prepare a small piping bag by placing it in a cup to avoid mess)

Cut a small hole in the piping bag, pipe the egg yolk batter onto a baking sheet in desired patterns, then bake in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 2 minutes

Mix the chocolate sauce and cocoa powder well

Add the mixed chocolate sauce to the egg yolk batter, and mix well again

First, fold a small amount of egg white foam into the egg yolk batter

Then fold half of the egg white foam into the egg yolk batter, and quickly fold from the bottom up with a spatula

Pour the mixed batter back into the remaining egg white foam, and fold until no white streaks are visible

Pour the cake batter into a 28*28cm golden baking pan from a height of 20 cm (the batter should have deflated slightly). Gently tap the pan on the table to remove air bubbles

Bake in the middle of the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 15-18 minutes
