He talked about not to add all the egg yolk at once because it will deflate
the egg whites but he mix it like crazy, also you mix the egg yolks first
and then incorporate the dried ingredients, it means you deflate the egg
whites twice. Instead of doing that, you should beat the egg yolks and take
a third of it and also a third of the dried ingredients fold in the egg
whites gently and repeat that to the end.
just a little confusion on your blog you’ve said that you use more yolks
than whites, so how come the recipe calls for 85 gms egg whites and 60 gms
egg yolks?

“Once the meringue is firm yet smooth and creamy, I add 60 g egg yolks.
Most home recipes use an equal number of whites and yolks but I use more
yolks than whites. Why? To help make the cake soft and moist, and the top
flat and wrinkle-free. The yolks must be added one at a time or the
meringue would deflate. And the whisking must be done at low speed, to help
remove big air bubbles in the meringue.”
Sometimes it bugs me to no end when I see comments like “Where’s the
recipe?” “What are the measurements?” “Why didnt u give us the amounts?”
People, did you really watch the video? Go to 9:37 and see what it says on
the top right.
