Super soft, spongy egg cake filled with whipped cream. Start by separating 5 egg yolks from the egg whites and add the whites in a bowl and freeze it for 15 minutes. Lightly whisk the egg yolks to break them then add 70 ml of warmed milk and continue whisking until the milk is dissolved in the egg yolks. Add 60 ml of vegetable oil slowly while whisking it in then add vanilla extract for flavor. Sift in cake flour to the egg yolk mixture and whisk it in until the cake batter is smooth with no lumps.
Bring the egg whites from the freezer and whisk it on high speed until the egg whites are foamy and have doubled in size then add granulated sugar in three additions while you whip the whites well after each addition. Beat until the meringue reaches a soft peak. Add a third of the meringue top the cake batter and whisk it in until it is incorporated in the batter then add cake batter mixture to the remaining meringue and fold them in until you get a smooth batter.
Prepare a baking pan by lightly greasing then lining a 6 by 6 square or round cake tin with a parchment paper then pour in the batter. Place the square cake tin with the butter over a large tray and add hot water to the tray then bake the cake in the water bath in a preheated 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160C) oven for 36 minutes then lower the temperature to 284 degrees Fahrenheit (140C) and bake for an additional 14 minutes.
Once the cake is baked, let it cool slightly then remove it from the pan and invert the cake then make holes in the bottom of the cake and squeeze in whipped cream until you can feel the cream is filled in the cake. Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy.
