Baked Ji Dan Gao (烤鸡蛋糕)
Personally, I don't fancy egg cakes [steamed] cos' of the eggy taste. Recently, there were quite a number of the baked version appearing in FB and blogs. The cakes looks good especially the cocoa marble designs. I have earlier bookmarked Eileen's recipe but didn't get down to do until I saw Ann, Jeannie and Zoe's posts on the Baked Ji Dan Gao.
But my cake shrink a little, something may have gone wrong. I appreciate very much Zoe, Jeannie and Ann's advices on the possible causes of why the cake shrink after cooling. I'll take note of it. Maybe I'm not skillful in the mixing process. Anyway, this is a nice cake, light and soft which I'll be baking again. From the photos, is the shrinkage noticeable? The crack is not that obvious, though.

65 gm self raising flour - sifted
5 gm cocoa powder mix with 1 tbsp hot water into a paste
3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
50 ml corn oil
3 egg whites
65 gm icing sugar
- In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and whole egg. Add in corn oil. Mix well. Add in sifted flour and mix well [ the batter is thick].
- Whisk egg whites to bubbly on medium speed and add icing sugar into it in 3 batches. Whisk until stiff peaks formed.

- Drizzle the cocoa mixture on top of the plain batter. Use a skewer to draw lines to create your own pattern.
