Came across this lovely chiffon recipe in Cherry Potato's blog quite sometime back. Baked this cake before but haven't posted it. This time, I'm baking it for my mother in-law. Hope she likes it. I didn't get to take photos of the sliced cake cos' I gave her the whole cake.
Here, I used a different mixing method, the cake turns out well cos' the yolk mixture consistency is much better. A lot easier than using a hand whisk and of course, less labourious [the machine does it all]. The cake is spongy, soft and moist.
Ingredients for Yolk Mixture
20 gm cocoa powder [I used 1 tbsp]
1 tbsp instant coffee
1 tbsp instant coffee
50 ml hot water
- Dissolve cocoa powder and coffee granules in hot water. Leave to cool
4 egg yolks
3 tbsp castor sugar
4 tbsp corn oil
1 tbsp rum [optional]
1 tbsp rum [optional]
80 gm plain flour - sifted with 1/4 tsp baking powder
Ingredients for Egg White
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
4 tbsp castor sugar
- Preheat oven at 170 degrees C.
- Place all the dry ingredients [sifted flour and sugar] in the mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre. Pour in all the liquid ingredients [mocha mixture, oil, rum and egg yolks]. Beat together using a paddle hook on medium to high speed until well combined and mixture is smooth [takes about 5 minutes]. My new way to mix yolk mixture. Set aside.
- Put egg white in another cake mixer bowl [make sure bowl is clean and ungreased]. Whisk egg whites until a little frothy, add in cream of tartar, continue whisking until foamy and add in sugar in 3 batches [I used Kenwood mixer Speed 5]. Keep whisking egg white mixture till soft to stiff peaks formed [process is quite fast].
- Fold in 1/3 of meringue to egg yolk mixture. Mix evenly till well combined. Then pour into balance egg meringue. Fold till evenly combined. Pour batter into 7 inch ungreased chiffon pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Tap pan on table top several times to release trapped air bubbles.
- Baked in preheat oven [lower rack] for 40 minutes.
- Invert baked cake immediately to cool completely before removing from pan.
