When I was pregnant with my second one, I was super sensitive to caffeine. It disturbed my sleep, not only when having black tea, but also tea cakes. However, I am not a fan of herbal tea. I ended up stock up numerous decaffeinated tea. Although they are a little more expensive, at least I can have the freedom to enjoy a cup of tea.
When I was communicating with the ambassador of “the Republic of Tea”, she said, “the caffeine level still should be minimal when used in baking.” It sounds pretty reasonable, so I estimated the caffeine content in my tea cakes if I use the original black tea. The result is, 200 mg of caffeine in a 6 inches cake! That’s about half of the safety consumption that is recommended by the Mayo Clinic. That means if you “accidentally” had too much cake, you may not have tea on that day. No wonder my sleep got disturbed when I had tea cakes. (You can see how much tea leaves we put in our cakes.)
After discussing with my business partners, we decided to keep using decaffeinated black tea. You can enjoy a whole cake after dinner, even some people who are sensitive to caffeine could try it.
之前懷第二胎的時候, 對咖啡因變得很敏感, 只要傍晚以後有喝紅茶, 晚上就不好睡, 就連茶蛋糕也是, 偏偏我又不愛喝花草茶, 只好把家裡的茶全部都換成低咖啡因茶, 雖然價格高了一些, 但至少我還可以保有一點喝茶的自由
這次準備開店在跟 Republic of Tea 的業務接洽的時候, 業務說: “通常烘培用普通紅茶就可以了吧, 反正用的量又不多~” 說得好像有道理, 我就認真算了一下, 如果用普通紅茶的話, 6 吋蛋糕裡到底會有多少咖啡因, 結果是大約 200 mg, 是 Mayo Clinic 建議每日安全攝取量的一半!! 意思是如果不小心蛋糕吃得多了一點, 那天就不能再喝茶了, 難怪之前懷孕的時候吃茶蛋糕會容易睡不著 (看來我們的蛋糕裡真的加很多茶葉喔)
所以雖然用低咖啡因茶會貴一些些, 但我們還是決定繼續使用低咖啡因茶, 即使晚上吃掉一整個蛋糕也不用怕, 對咖啡因敏感的長輩跟小孩也可以試試
有幾個客人提出了他們的疑惑: 奶油泡泡的戚風蛋糕表面, 好像有很多屑屑, 是不是不應該有這些屑屑?
這個問題問得很好, 事情要從蛋糕如何脫模說起…
脱模, 就是指蛋糕烤好之後, 要從蛋糕模裡拿出來. 戚風蛋糕脱模的方式有兩種: 徒手脱模, 或是使用脱模刀/小刀/刮刀.
先說第一種: 徒手脱模*, 基本上就是用手慢慢的把蛋糕剝下來, 這樣蛋糕表層大部分都會黏在模具上, 不過蛋糕越濕軟, 脫模的難度也就越高. 我試著戴著手套徒手脱模了幾次, 都慘敗收場, 當然不要戴手套會比較有手感, 但因為衛生問題, 我真的想要盡量不要徒手碰蛋糕, 所以選擇用第二種方式.
第二種方式: 使用刀具脱模, 用脱模刀把蛋糕從模具上刮下來, 這種脫模方式會把表層也都一起刮下來, 大部分店家會再用手把屑屑撥掉, 但一樣因為衛生問題, 我盡量不想多碰烤好的蛋糕, (用刷子刷掉屑屑一樣會有污染問題). 而且!! 我覺得這層屑屑很好吃呀~~~這層可是梅納反應 (Maillard reaction)** 的精華呢!
所以請大家了解這層屑屑怎麼來的, 試著嚐嚐看這些看起來醜醜的屑屑吧, 真的很好吃唷~
Some of my customers asked me a question: “Why there are lots of crumbs around the cake? Does it supposed to be like this?”
That’s a good question. To understand how do these crumbs come from, we need to understand the process: how to get the cake out of the mold?
There are two ways to remove the cake from the mold: by hand or by a knife.
By hand is a technique that requires some practice*. It will leave a skin layer on the mold and give you a clean, smooth cake. However, when I am wearing gloves and handling a super moist, soft cake, it’s nearly impossible to get it out of the mold perfectly.
Due to food safety, I try to avoid contact with cake as much as possible. So, I choose the knife method. Just like angel food cake, you could use a butter knife to cut the edge from the mold. There will be some crumbs on the surface of the cake. These crumbs are very delicious because they are the product of Maillard reaction**. If you really don’t want these crumbs, you can use your hand or a brush to peel them away.

今天一個朋友問我: “為什麼選在疫情最嚴重的時候開店呢? 現在大家都盡量自己煮不外食耶”
我說: “這時候開店才好哇, 你想想, 你從蛋糕店買一個蛋糕, 從製作的時候就有烘培師, 有學徒, 光廚房就不只一兩個人, 外場有結帳的人, 清潔的人, 這個蛋糕從做好, 到交到你手上, 有好幾個人可能碰過;”
“如果是我的 home kitchen, 烘培師: 我, 包裝: 我, 清潔人員: 我, 連送貨都是: 我, 從頭到尾就一個人碰過, 除非自己在家烤蛋糕, 不然沒有比這個更安全的了!”
戚風蛋糕說難不難, 說簡單也不簡單, 記得闆娘第一次做的時候, 新手運氣成功了! 心想, 大家為什麼要把戚風蛋糕叫成”氣瘋”蛋糕呢, 其實也還好吧, 沒那麼難呀~ 然後~~~就開始了我的撞牆之路….
One of my friends asked me: “Why are you open shop during COVID-19? People are trying to cook as much as possible instead of buying cooked meals.”
I answered: “How many people may have touched your cake before you get it? The pastry chef, the assistant pastry chef, the cashier, the cleaning staff, or more. The cake you bought has been handled by several people.”
“In my home kitchen, I am the one and the only one who handled the cake. The pastry chef: me. The cleaning staff: me. The delivery staff: me. If you could make your own cake, that’s even safer. Otherwise, my cake is only handled by me.”
Chiffon cake is a simple cake, but not so simple. When I started making my first cake, I made a beautiful cake with my beginner’s luck. I wondered: “why people said making chiffon cake is hard. It’s quite simple, though.” And after that, the arduous journey just began……
There are mainly three kinds of vanilla beans: Madagascar, Mexican, and Tahitian. Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans are the most popular type of vanilla, resulting from their clear and creamy flavor. Tahitian vanilla beans are the most expensive type of vanilla beans. The aroma is floral with undertones of ripe fruit with a deep, rich flavor that includes cherry-chocolate, licorice, and caramel.
We use only grade A Tahitian vanilla beans. They provide floral and fruity flavor, which is a perfect pair for our fluffy cakes. These tiny little seeds floating in the cake. They are not dirt or sand. They are delicate small Tahitian black pearls in the cake.
Lemon buttercream is made from cultured European butter with food-grade lemon essential oil. The light sour and citrous scent is perfect pair with Tahitian vanilla beans. Results in layered floral, citrus, and caramel flavors.
最常見的香草莢有三種: 馬達加斯加, 墨西哥, 以及大溪地香草莢. 馬達加斯加香草莢是最被廣泛使用的香草莢, 因為他的香草味非常的香濃鮮明, 大溪地香草莢通常雖然比較昂貴, 但它的香味帶有花香, 成熟的果香 (調性是櫻桃巧克力, 甘草, 和焦糖味).
我們只使用 A 級的大溪地香草莢, 這種香草莢非常適合跟輕柔的戚風蛋糕搭配. 你可以看到蛋糕裡充滿了許多小小黑黑的香草籽, 這些不是灰塵也不是髒東西, 他們就像許多大溪地黑珍珠一樣珍貴呀!
搭配的檸檬奶油霜是用發酵的奶油, 加入食用級檸檬精油, 微微的酸帶出檸檬香氣, 跟花香調的大溪地香草搭配起來, 柔和的層次還融合了一些焦糖味, 喜歡檸檬香的你一定不能錯過.
