4. In a mixing bowl. Beat whole eggs and brown sugar with a electric mixer, place the mixing bowl to the warm water bath when beating eggs. Whole eggs and sugar are beaten to a beautiful thick, fluffy and foamy light yellow cream. They triple in volume, and fall from lifted beaters in a flat, ribbon-like pattern that sits on top of the swirl for seconds and then, slowly dissolves into the rest of the mixture. Don’t over beat because the cake will crack with excessive air in it.

5. Heat butter and milk to 80ºC。Don’t bring it to boil.

6. Sift plain through fine sieve. Add to the batter by 8 times with a rubber spatula. Fold the batter vertically and move to 9 o’clock direction from the bottom. Use your left hand turning the mixing bowl anti-clockwise. Repeat this movement until you cannot see the flour. Then sift the flour again. The folding should be light and fast.
