Watermelon Cake

Equipment

  • 6-inch round cake pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs, seperated
  • 40 grams milk
  • 25 grams oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 53 grams cake flour
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 45 grams granulated sugar
  • food coloring - red and green

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add in the egg yolks, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Sift in the flour and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, add in the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat with a hand mixer until frothy.
  • Gradually add in the sugar 1/3 at a time. Beat until you get stiff peaks
  • Add some of the egg white mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Gently mix until combined.
  • Add the egg yolk mixture to the rest of the egg whites. Gently fold until combined.
  • Separate the batter and dye. Dye ~2/3 of the batter red and the remaining green and white.
  • Transfer the dyed batter into piping bags. Start with the green batter and pipe a ring along the bottom edge of the cake pan. Then switch to the white batter and pipe a ring right next to the green batter. Fill the center with red batter. Repeat this until you have no more batter.
  • Drop the cake pan a few times to get rid of any air bubbles
  • Bake at 285F for 55 minutes
  • Cool the cake upside down. Remove the cake from the cake pan once cake has cooled.
