I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Wen Shutang went to the kitchen and began to prepare the birthday cake. She took out the eggs and flour she had bought in advance and started to make the cake base. As for the cream, she would talk about it later.

To be on the safe side, Wen Shutang only used five eggs at first, intending to experiment first.

Separate the egg yolk and egg white, add sugar, milk and cooking oil, stir well, then pour in the flour, stir evenly with chopsticks until there are no obvious lumps of dough.

After preparing the egg yolks, Wen Shutang picked up the bowl of egg whites and started stirring them frantically with chopsticks. Soon, his hands felt so sore.

She couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if she had an electric egg beater. Baking the cake today was like training her arms to become as strong as a unicorn.

Although he complained, Wen Shutang did not stop and continued to stir the egg yolks.

After a long while, the egg yolk in the bowl showed signs of being beaten, but it was far from enough. Wen Shutang's hands were so sore that he turned around and called Xiao Yizhuo, who was standing in the yard to train with Xiao Ye.

"Come here and help me."

Hearing Wen Shutang's voice, Xiao Yizhuo looked up, then responded and looked at Xiao Ye and instructed: "Practice by yourself first, I'll be back later."

"Yes, Dad." Xiao Ye took a breath and nodded.

Xiao Yizhuo turned and walked towards the kitchen. After entering, he walked to Wen Shutang's side and looked down at the messy things on the stove with some surprise.

"So many things?"

"Well, these are all needed to make the cake. This is for you. Just keep stirring. My arms can't take it anymore. When you're tired, I'll take over." Wen Shutang handed the egg white that he had just beaten to Xiao Yizhuo.

Although Xiao Yizhuo didn't know what the cake Wen Shutang was talking about was, he didn't ask. He took the bowl of egg whites and started stirring it with chopsticks.

While Xiao Yizhuo was preparing the egg whites, Wen Shutang turned around and started fiddling with the cream. She had heard from a friend about a simple home recipe, but she had never tried it before and didn't know if she could succeed.

Pour milk into the pot and heat it slightly, then add sugar. Cook until the sugar is completely melted. When the milk is completely boiled, remove from heat and set aside.

Beat three more eggs in a bowl, take out the egg yolks and stir them, then pour in starch and flour, then stir the flour with the boiled milk until it becomes a batter without any particles.

Pour the batter into the pot and boil it on low heat. Stir constantly with chopsticks until the batter becomes thick, then remove from the heat. Cool it in water, then add appropriate amount of butter and stir well.

After a long period of vigorous stirring, the batter with butter will become a thick and creamy state. At this time, if you insert chopsticks into the bowl and the chopsticks do not fall immediately, it is a success.

Wen Shutang dipped a little cream with chopsticks and took a sip. The milk flavor was rich and delicate, richer than what he had eaten in modern cake shops before.

There was a flash of surprise in Wen Shutang's eyes. This kind of cream could be used for spreading on the face without any problem. She didn't expect that she would be successful on her first try at making cream.

Putting the prepared cream aside for later use, Wen Shutang turned around and looked at Xiao Yizhuo, who was still vigorously stirring the egg whites without saying a word.

Wen Shutang walked closer and found that the egg white had been completely beaten in just a short while, forming a white foamy state, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, okay, that's enough. You should take a rest." Wen Shutang took the bowl from Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded, handed the bowl to Wen Shutang, and shook his sore arms.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go and have a rest." Wen Shutang started to busy himself with steaming the cake.

After hearing her words, Xiao Yizhuo did not leave, but stood aside with his arms folded, watching Wen Shutang's movements.

Seeing that he didn't want to leave, Wen Shutang didn't say anything else and let him stand aside. Anyway, he might need his help again in the future, so it was good for him to stay here.

Add the beaten egg white to the egg yolk batter prepared in advance and start stirring until there are no obvious large particles in it and it is fine enough, then Wen Shutang starts to steam the cake.

Now everything is almost ready. Cover the cream with a thin layer of cloth to prevent oxidation from affecting the taste.

Wen Shutang found the largest basin in the house, brushed a layer of oil on the bottom, poured the batter into the basin, and started steaming the cake.

After finishing, Wen Shutang wiped the sweat from his forehead and was very satisfied: "Okay, now wait for it to come out of the pan. After it comes out of the pan, you can start coating it with flour and decorating it."

Although the steps are relatively simple, it should be fine. Anyway, the birthday cake is there, and Xiao Ze's birthday is complete. Wen Shutang thought silently in his heart with a smile.

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes had been on Wen Shutang all the time, and he raised his eyebrows after seeing the cake base being put into the pan.

"This is a novel approach. How many ideas do you have?"

"There are so many that I can't even count them all. In my hometown, these little desserts are child's play." When Wen Shutang mentioned this, he raised his head with some pride and began to talk to Xiao Yizhuo about modern things.

I was very curious when I heard Wen Shutang talk about the car that could run on the street with only four wheels.

"Doesn't this cart need oxen and horses to pull it?"

Wen Shutang shook his head and explained, "No, the power of the car comes from the engine, which is a technology developed in later generations. Horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts had been eliminated by that time."

"So that's how it is." A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes. Although he had long known that Wen Shutang came from a fantasy place called modern times, he did not expect that there were so many strange things.

Xiao Yizhuo felt a vague expectation and yearning for this place.

If all the things Wen Shutang mentioned could appear here, then Nansheng would be the strongest country in the world. The people would no longer have to worry about threats from other countries.

Xiao Yizhuo thought silently in his heart that Wen Shutang did not notice his abnormality, which simply meant that he was just shocked.

"In short, things in the afterlife are all very fantastic, and I can't explain them all at once. Now the most important thing is to make cakes."

While chatting with Xiao Yizhuo, steam was already coming out of the big pot. After a while, Wen Shutang estimated that the time was about right and lifted the lid of the pot.

The cake base was taken out after the heat dissipated. It seemed good just by looking at the surface, but he didn't know what it would look like after being removed from the mold. Wen Shutang was also a little excited.

Xiao Yizhuo was also a little curious about what the cake looked like.

Under Xiao Yizhuo's gaze, Wen Shutang turned the bowl upside down and carefully took it off, and the complete cake base appeared in front of the two.

The pores are fine and the taste is sweet, making people unable to help swallowing their saliva.

Seeing such a cake base, Wen Shutang's eyes were filled with joy.

"It's done!"
