6 pcs egg yolks They add richness and a beautiful yellow color to the cake.
4 Tbsp sugar Provides sweetness and helps with browning during baking.
4 Tbsp vegetable oil Ensures a moist texture that keeps the cake tender.
4 Tbsp whole milk Adds creaminess and enhances flavor.
2 tsp vanilla extract A must for elevating the cake’s flavor profile.
1 cup all-purpose flour The base that holds all the delicious ingredients together.
6 pcs egg whites Whipping these will give your cake a light, airy structure.
2 Tbsp cornstarch Helps create a tender crumb and light texture.
1/2 tsp vinegar Adds stability to the egg whites when whipped.
4 Tbsp sugar Additional for sweetening the egg whites as they whip.
food dye gel (not liquid) Perfect for creating vibrant, eye-catching designs.

2 cups heavy whipping cream The star ingredient for achieving luscious, fluffy whipped cream.
5 Tbsp confectioners sugar Sweetens the cream while helping it hold its shape.
dash salt A pinch balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
2 tsp vanilla Adds extra warmth and flavor to the whipped cream.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8-inch circular pan with cooking spray. Cut out parchment paper to fit in the pan and trace your design with an edible marker.
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Place the yolks in a large bowl and the whites in a medium-sized bowl.
Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Sift in the flour and cornstarch into the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
Whip the egg whites in a stand mixer until frothy, then gradually add the vinegar and sugar.
Continue whipping the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg whites gently into the egg yolk batter until just combined.
Dye a few teaspoons of the batter with food gel for your design, and transfer colored batter into piping bags.
Pipe black outlines around your traced designs and fill in with vibrant color.
Chill the decorated cake in the fridge for 5-8 minutes, then pipe the uncolored batter on top and bake for 8-9 minutes.
Flip the cake out of the pan and gently peel off the parchment paper. Allow all layers to cool completely.
Whisk the heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the cake by placing a layer of undesigned cake, piping a layer of whipped cream, and then topping it with the beautifully designed layer.
Add any desired filling or decorations, and store in the fridge until ready to serve.

For the best flavor, decorate just before serving if using fresh fruit or cream.
