Ingredients

6 servings
  1. 70 gramsPancake mix
  2. 40 gramsSugar
  3. 2Eggs
  4. 2 tbspSoy milk
  5. 2 tbspOlive oil
  6. 1few drops Vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 170℃. Place a baking liner in the cake pan.

  2. 2

    Combine the eggs and sugar and whip. It's easier to whip them if you use a hand mixer. It will take about 15 minutes with a whisk, 7~8 minutes with a hand mixer.

  3. 3

    Whip until the mixture forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted.

  4. 4

    When it's very fluffy, add the pancake mix that was shaken in a plastic bag to break up flour lumps, and fold in gently.

  5. 5

    When it's mixed in, add the soy milk and mix up from the bottom. Do the same with the olive oil and vanilla extract.

  6. 6

    After you have mixed everything, the batter will have lost a lot of its fluffy texture, so it's important to whip really well in Step 3.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into the baking pan. Drop it lightly once to smooth out the surface.

  8. 8

    Bake for about 25 minutes at 170℃ while checking from time to time. Cover with aluminum foil when it starts browning midway through.

  9. 9

    Insert a skewer and if it comes out clean, it's done. Take out from the oven and let it cool down a little. Peel off the liner and start decorating the cake when it's cooled.

  10. 10

    The cake made by a whisk: It became a slightly thin sponge cake that is about 4 cm high and 18 cm diameter.

  11. 11

    You can put a lot of decorations on an 18 cm diameter cake.

  12. 12

    The sponge was a little thin, but the end product turned out to be a perfect size for kids. It was fluffy and looked great.

  13. 13

    For my daughter's birthday in December 2011: I used a 15 cm diameter cake and I couldn't put a lot of decorations, but it was a perfect size for a family of 4~5 people to finish up in one sitting.

  14. 14

    Christmas cake in December, 2011: I used a large baking pan, so I doubled the amount of the ingredients. It was a big gorgeous cake and more than enough for 8 adults.

  15. 15

    For Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day festival) in March, 2012: Using the same amount of the ingredients but with a pound cake pan. I decorated the cake first, and cut into triangles. It was a perfect size for a family of 4~5 people.
