1. Essential Ingredients to Prepare.
40 grams of cake flour
30 grams of all-purpose flour (or substitute with regular baking flour if unavailable)
40 grams of sugar
20 milliliters of vegetable oil
Lime juice
3 eggs
Vanilla extract (if available)
Required Tools: Air fryer, mixing bowl, electric mixer (or whisk)
Essential Ingredients.
Prepare the egg whites by separating them from the yolks. Place the whites in a large bowl with warm water, adding 2ml of lemon juice. Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add 25 grams of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. If you don't have a mixer, whisking by hand is an option but will take considerably longer.
Step 1: Beat the egg whites.
Separate the egg whites and yolks. Place the whites in a bowl with warm water and 2ml of lemon juice. Use a whisk or mixer to beat the whites until they form stiff peaks after gradually adding 25 grams of sugar.

Step 2: Beat the egg yolks.
Add the remaining 15 grams of sugar to the yolks in a bowl. Pour in a little cooking oil and mix evenly. Once the sugar is dissolved, gradually add all-purpose flour and continue mixing until smooth. Then add more cooking oil and mix well. Finally, add the remaining flour and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Mix the batter.
Divide the beaten egg whites from step 1 into two equal portions. Pour one portion into the batter from step 2 and mix well. After a while, add the remaining portion and continue mixing. The purpose is to mix the batter slowly. The total mixing time should be between 2 to 3 minutes, not longer. While mixing, make sure to consistently fold in one direction for better rising. If you have essential oils or vanilla extract, add them at this stage. Vanilla will enhance the aroma of the cake significantly.

Step 4: Pour batter into the mold.
Pour the entire mixed batter into the mold. Choose a mold size that fits snugly into your steamer. Line the bottom and sides of the mold with parchment paper. After pouring, gently tap to remove air bubbles.

Preheat the air fryer to approximately 165°C for 20 minutes. Remove the oil filter tray from the air fryer. Pour the batter to fill about 2/3 of three air fryer trays. Place the cake mold (covered with a lid) inside. Bake the cake for 20 minutes. Allow the cake to rest in the air fryer for an additional 20 minutes after turning it off to cool.
