Vanilla Chiffon Cake




A recipe taken from Okashi Sweet Treats Made With Love by Keiko Ishida with slight modification.


Ingredients: (for a 20cm chiffon)

(A)
5 egg yolks
20 sugar
60g oil
70g soy milk
70g cake flour
1 vanilla pod (scrape the vanilla bean out)
pink colour gel

(B)
5 egg whites
85g caster sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

  • Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
  • Beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale.  Gradually add in oil, water and vanilla bean. Beat until well combined.
  • Sift flour into a mixing bowl.  Gradually whisk in the egg yolk  mixture in a slow and steady stream.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, add in cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form.  Gradually add in sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the flour/egg yolk mixture in 3 batches. 
  • Divide the batter into two lots and add in colour.
  • Pour batter into an ungreased tube pan. 
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until cook.
  • Remove cake from the oven and invert the pan to cool.
  • Unmould the cake when it is completely cool.

  2. The colour of the chiffon looks very attractive! I've tried your recipe of the Orange-Lemon Curd & I love it. Used them to sandwich with melting moments & also tarts! Thanks for the recipe!

  8. Hi Veronica, may I know what kind of knife you are using to slice the chiffon? The sides and edges looks so neat and nice without the crust. Very sweet coloured chiffon.

    1. Hi Kimmy, I always use a serrated knife to cut chiffon, with sawing motion to gently cut through the cake.

    2. Thanks, that means I did it right. If it doesn't look nice means my cake texture is not good..
