**RECIPE**
By weight, 4 part eggs to 1 part oil (or melted butter), 1 part milk, 1 part cake flour, 1 part sugar. (A large egg minus its shell is generally ~50 grams.) Additionally, 1/2-1g salt per egg, vanilla (or some other extract), cream of tarter (~1g for every four eggs), 1/10th the weight of the flour in corn starch (optional).
Make one egg's worth of batter for every 22 inches (360 cm) of pan volume (sorry I said “area” in the vid and gave the wrong cm figure!), where volume is width x length x height.
You'll need big pan and an even bigger pan you can nest it into. With the pans nested, pour enough water into the bigger pan to come at least halfway up the sides of the smaller pan. Take the smaller pan out, and put the bigger pan (with the water) into your oven. Start the oven heating to 325 F (160 C) - no convection fan, unless you prefer a dry, cracked top. (If using convection, probably lower the heat to 300 F, 150C.)
Coat all interior sides of the smaller pan with parchment paper. Leave enough excess that you can grab to sling the cake out when it's done.
Separate all the eggs into two large bowls. Into the bowl with the yolks, put the oil (or melted butter), milk, flour, salt, cornstarch (if using - it makes the interior crumb finer), and a big glug of vanilla or any extract you're using. Weigh out the sugar in a separate bowl - I like to use a little more than 1 part sugar, but all of these proportions can be altered to various effects.
Put the cream of tarter into the egg whites and beat them until they're very fluffy. Beat in the sugar in a couple installments until you have medium peaks - or stiff peaks if you want an even puffier cake, though that will likely result in a cracked top. Beat the yolk mixture until smooth. Gradually combine the white mixture and the yolk mixture until homogenous.
Pour the batter into the parchment-lined cake pan, and drop the pan into the water bath in the oven. (Don't worry if it splashes - steam is good for cakes.) Bake until a skewer to the center comes out clean - probably at least an hour, though it will depend on the size.
When the cake is done, use the parchment as a sling to lift it out before slicing with the longest knife you have. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Hey, I obviously meant pan VOLUME, not pan AREA. Text on screen should be in^3 (cm^3). Also 22 cubed inches = 360 cubed cm, not 53 as indicated on screen. It’s fixed in the description. Math may be our friend, but I have never been a friend to it. Sorry!
hey adam im early
I have always been curious on what cooks on TH-cam end up doing with the failed attempts when they are trying out a recipe. You mentioned you cooked about a dozen of these on a weekend. Do you end up just throwing those away or eating them? Or is "cooking a dozen of these over the weekend" just an exaggeration?
adam i think you meant volume 🧘♂️

I had a lot of egg based desserts in Asia and tbh they were all vaguely fart tasting
"in goes like, half the sugar"
i love the combo of traditional talk and modern talk
Since this recipe is entirely egg based for the purposes of raising, I thought that testing if you can make it in the microwave would work and it absolutely does! It doesn't get the nice browned top but the fluffiness is 100% intact and just as good tasting. Make the batter as per the recipe ratios, (though I used heated oil mixed with flour first to smooth out the all purpose flour more) and just put it in a mug in the microwave and nuke it for ~1-2mins depending on how much you put in.
You can always try to torch the top. Let us know!

@@aahansolo2740 but vegans are raw
Just made this at 1am on a week night because why not. I’m Portuguese so pão-de-ló is almost second nature to me, so I wanted to put this to the test; to anyone with the same idea as me, I warn you it tastes nothing like pão-de-ló, but looks very similar.
I made a 10-egg recipe, but it almost overflowed my cooking vessel, so I had to switch midway to a slightly larger one so it wouldn’t go off while growing. Turns out, it only rose a couple centimeters on the sides, so switching probably wasn’t necessary.
The sheet amount of eggs made it smell a bit off (yeah, like farts), but it was to expect; I’m writing this while it’s still warm, I’ve no idea how it’ll smell when cold.
It turned out amazing though. The jiggle was perfect, the sound it made when you ripped it apart or squeezed it was so pleasant, and the flavour was top notch too. Still not as good in my opinion to pão-de-ló, which is much more sticky, yellow and sweet.
10/10 would lose sleep to it again
and?
eu juro por tudo que cada vez que vejo pão de ló nao faz me pensar em nada disto.
does the fart smell go after it cools?
I can tell that he’s going mad trying to make this as authentic as possible from the intro.
I didn’t know I needed Adam saying “wubba wubba” but I’m glad I do now.
Universal human right
so true
Can someone clip it? I need a new alarm ringtone
Dude I fucking died 😂😂😂
Anan Farhan absolutely, along with white wine, and heterogeneity.
I was so disappointed when he said it tasted like farts, because it looks so good.
When it cools, it isn’t !
It was a compliment
misread that for a sec, thought it said “farts taste so good” lol
Too many eggs I guess
Don’t worry. That happens to all egg based desserts. Let it cool off. Especially overnight. And all that eggy/fart taste will go away. Edit: my mom likes making egg-based cakes in her free time. This always happened to her. It’ll taste eggy at first. But when you leave alone overnight, it’ll taste sweeter. Like a regular cake (just slightly eggy).
One think you missed though, the oil and milk had to be heated to around 185F before adding them to the flour, it makes a difference to the texture and softness.
Thanks for catching it for we noncookers 🤗
This was a great video. I made a cake like this yesterday, but with another recipe. It came out the same as yours. I'm glad you didn't take all the precautions in mixing as the other videos show. They seem to mix everything very carefully. Again, thanks, sir.
as a Singaporean, I can confirm that the cakes do go 𝘸𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘢 when you cut into it 😂

I've never heard of Jiggly Cake, and your video had me enthralled! and yes I noticed the squared/cubic thing but knew what you meant.
And you take it out of the oven, reaching that climatic moment of having created something that looks so epic, you can hear the cries of joy, the celebrations, the awe and Mmm wonder what it's like, and that same pensive child-like moment of the warm bread or scones been lifted out of the oven and .... and .... and you say it tastes like Farts! LOL
Great video, well put together keeping solely to the point and easy to follow. Thank you - I will certainly try this on a smaller size ;)

White Wine Report!
It’s been 4 months since Adam used white wine in one of his recipe videos
Wait actually?
I’m worried
White Wine report
Wine wine was last used in a recipe 4 months ago.
This is your white wine report
Call the ambulance
WaT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun fact: the Portuguese also introduced Tempura to Japan! Yep, what most people think of as a Japanese dish was originally Portuguese. The Japanese were interested in the idea of the combo of batter and fry vegetables (original Portuguese one was made with green beans) and adapted it for their own from the recipe, which was originally meant as a way for Catholics to get high energy meals during lent. That is where "tempura" comes from as well, as the Portuguese would say it was a dish for "quattuor anni tempora" which is a latin frase meaning the Ember Days of lent!
Credo che sei italiano, quindi: che figataaa
I thought lent didn't allow fried foods.
Very interesting thanks
confusedwhale
nah, you could typically find those “fish fry friday” signs outside of a lot of parishes during lent.
@@confusedwhale Not quite. Lent is about sacrifice. More precisely it's about giving up something for a while so you understand pain like Jesus went through. Through most of history Catholics have done so by abstaining from eating red meat and eating only fish during lent.
It's a nice touch when the bottom is lined with rock sugar. Adds a punch of sweetness and crunch every few bites

Well Adam said you could put different flavors, or just make the recipe a little different. Taste more.. like something

i too have spent allot of time watching these jiggly cakes, so it a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, that Adam made a video on this

"Tastes like farts" - this is now clearly the classiest TH-cam cooking show.
"How much of it is air?"
"I can show show you how much"
*Proceeds to smash the cake*
And heer vee go!
theres actually a way to calculate how much of that is air by smashing the cake down. measure the volume of the cake smashed down and divide that by the original volume of the cake. that way, you can find not how much, but what percentage of the cake is air.
These are pretty popular in Portugal,we call them "Pao de Lo",its more soft and doesnt wobble as much but it depends on the recipe used.
Imagining this with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle makes my mouth water
This is the most mathematical baking video ive ever seen.

@@aragusea You mean volume.

@@aragusea hi
@@aragusea it's okay Adam, math takes its toll on all of us
Wow..this is the most educative food video ever! With maths and science and also the deodorant...good info of life in general . Keep it up! U just got 1 more sub
This recipe reminds me of this one local cake simply called "layer cake" (Kek Lapis). The ingredients are about the same and even the process before cooking is the same. The baking part is where it differs. To bake the layer cake, you would need to bake one thin layer of cake, slightly thicker than a crepe for about 5 mins per layer at 180*C with only the top emitting heat, with no fan. Press flat, then add the next layer, and so on until you run out of cake mix. In most recipes you would add cinnamon and other spices and cocoa, thats kinda up to you. You can also alternate each layer, so it'll be spice/choco/spice/choco. or whatever. The end result is a buttery smooth cholesterol filled cake that looks amazing when cut.
Hey, I'm from Portugal and this recipe is based on one of our favorite desserts which is called "Pão de Ló". It is way less jiggly but is way more flavorful so I think you should try it and give the community some feedback. I really think you would like it and even prefer this jiggly cake. Really like your work and I follow you since your 200k subscribers and I've watched every single episode since and loved them all. Hope you continue the good and hard work
@Lone Wolf Also in Serbia; it's called patišpanj/a (patishpany/a), and it's name comes from 'Pan de
España' (Spanish bread). It was brought to the Balkans by Catalan settlers in Pannonia (one of the weird historical episodes) and Sephardic Jews.

Falxie_ ...what?
With the hot water:
- You boil the kettle
- Put the batter in the cake tray
- Put that in the roasting tray
- Put the roasting tray in the hot oven
- Slide the rack out slightly then pour hot water down the sides
You don't have to drop the huge cake pan into boiling water!? Much safer if you treat it like a bain-marie, fairly common technique I thought.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN THE HISTORY VIDS ARE IMMENSE.
Ben yeah but u can risk getting boiling water inside the batter
@@viethuongvothai686 Risk of boiling water in the batter VS risk of burning your skin is a pretty one-sided argument imo. Plus I highly doubt a few mL of boiling water will seriously affect the outcome of a cake this large!
@Christopher Cruz That's absolutely fine if you're confident in doing that, but not every situation will be like Adam's. My argument would be risk aversion, and also that the technique I described is a pretty well-known technique for filling a Bain Marie. But like our man says, you do you friend. No qualms
He said in the video he didn't want to deal with pouring hot water into the oven. And i don't know what country you're from but americans don't use electric kettles so they are a lot more dangerous
@@Vayxes I dont know where you're from, but where I'm from we Americans definitely use electric kettles.
Thank you! Thank you! You gave the number of grams for the eggs
I have my own chickens, I have eggs from 25g (the smallets avg 32g) All the way up to the largest yet 104.89g
I trust going by weight in grams more than the measuring cup
Just made this cake. The taste and texture reminds me of kaiserschmarrn, so we will try frying some tomorrow in a soured butter to see how it turns out!
The trick to egg separating is using three bowls. One for the yolks, one for the whites, and one for the scooping out action. So whether it's a bad egg or you burst one out while scooping, the rest of your perfectly separated eggs won't be contaminated.
Also using a fresh and quality egg helps a lot since fresher eggs have thicker whites and also thicker yolk walls (idk the science behind it, just an observation)
Anddd if you wanna know if there's any bad egg, put it in a container filled with water, and if its float it's probably bad. Since older eggs have bigger air pockets inside them.
I sell desserts where I need to separate eggs all the time, so I hope this helps!
and then you got 3 things to clean
@@KarinaVeiga16 What laziness does to an mf
The floating eggs thing doesn't mean they actually are bad, just that they are not the newest. I often have eaten boiled eggs that were floating, never tasted bad.
@@KarinaVeiga16 oh the humanity!
You only need two bowls. One for the separating and one for the whites. You only need to worry about the yolks going into the whites, not the other way around. Yolk will mess up a merengue, but the whites will not mess up anything that requires only the yolks. There's always going to be at least a film of egg white on the surface of the yolk.
That "I'm sweating!" transition is the cleanest you've done yet Adam
Except for the knife skills and the snow cones vids
I enjoyed your video, thanks. I loved how you
Squished the cake down with your hand. Lol I’ve always wanted to do that.
Back in the days I was in primary school, when I still lived 24h per day at school, we used to have these cakes every once in a while as a dessert after dinner.
I can't remember exactly how frequent, but let's say once a week. In the end I can't make myself sit in front of them anymore.
I’m from Taiwan and this look so great. It really look like the og one. I also smashed it like you do so i knew;)
I think you got the taste right. It do taste simple. Like a gentle version of Japanese sponge cake. You could try it with some salty cheese like cheddar. The sweet and salty combination is a popular taste here.
Imagine accidentally eating this with egg allergies.
