chiffon cakes

Make this ultra moist and fluffy vanilla chiffon cake for your everyday treat or a celebratory occasion! This cake is delicious dusted with confectioner&#x27;s sugar or frosted with Chantilly cream.

Vanilla Chiffon Cake

g caster sugar

milk

tbsp + 1 tsp vegetable oil

tsp vanilla extract

g cake flour

tsp baking powder

salt

½ tsp cream of tartar

sugar

Preheat oven to 165°C (329°F).  Position the oven rack on the lowest in the oven.

Have a 20-cm (8-inch) chiffon tube pan ready. DO NOT GREASE.

Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt.

In a separate, large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until thick and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract or essence. Stir with a whisk until until well combined.

Add the sifted flour mixture in 2 additions. Stir with a whisk until all the flour is incorporated and no streaks of flour are visible. The mixture should be thick, smooth and free of lumps.

Make the batter:

Fit an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. In a dry, grease-free mixer bowl, pour in egg whites and sprinkle cream of tartar over.

Whisk on medium speed (speed 4 on my Kitchen Aid). When the egg whites become frothy, add sugar bit by bit in a steady stream. Whip until stiff peaks form. This may take 5 to 7 minutes, depending on your mixer and speed.

Make the meringue:

Add ⅓ of meringue (whipped egg whites with sugar) to the batter. Fold in gently with a whisk until well incorporated.

Add another ⅓ of the meringue and again, fold in gently.

Add the remaining meringue and fold in gently. The final batter should feel light, and have no visible streaks of meringue.

Pour into the chiffon tube pan from one place, and let the batter spread to fill the pan.

Gently run a thin spatula in an 'S' motion throughout the batter to reduce large air pockets. Smooth and level the surface. Give the pan a few taps on the counter top to minimise air pockets.

Fold the meringue into the batter:

Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until done. DO NOT open the oven door. Only do so about 5 minutes before the end of baking, to test if done. The cake is done when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Note: A bit of cracking on the surface of the cake as it bakes is perfectly alright!

Immediately invert the pan over a bottle neck once it is removed from the oven. Allow it to 'hang' until completely cooled.

To release the cake, run an offset spatula gently around the sides of the pan, pressing against the pan as much as possible.

Then invert the pan again so that the bottom is now facing up.  Gently tap or push the pan's base to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Then run the spatula around the base to release the funnel.

Chiffon cake is served 'upside-down'.

Pandan Chiffon Cake (Updated Recipe)

pandan leaves

water

45 g caster sugar

85 ml coconut milk (I recommend KARA brand)

tbsp pandan juice

pandan paste

Place chopped pandan leaves into a blender or food processor and add water. Process to a pulp. Note: Depending on your blender, you may need to add 1 - 2 tbsp more of water to get the blades turning well enough to process.

Place the pulp in a metal strainer. Press the back of a spoon against it to obtain the juice. Set aside 1 tbsp. The leftover can be kept chilled.

Make pandan juice:

Preheat oven to 170°C (338°F).  Position the oven rack on the lowest in the oven.

In a separate, large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until thick and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, oil, pandan juice and pandan paste. Stir with a whisk until until well combined.
