It has more eggs than a normal chiffon cake recipe, but it always comes out fluffy and great because of that.
Enjoy a blissful teatime with this moist and delicate chiffon cake.

Please use a clean bowl because the meringue will not whip up if the bowl is dirty.
To make a fine meringue, whip for another minute on low after it has reached stiff peaks. Recipe by sachie mama

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 170°C.

  2. 2

    Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into different bowls.

  3. 3

    Add granulated sugar into the bowl of egg yolks, and whip.

  4. 4

    Add in water, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Whip until it turns pale and air is incorporated.

  5. 5

    Sift the cake flour into the bowl. Switch to a whisk, and whisk well until the flour is incorporated well.

  6. 6

    Using a handheld mixer on high speed, whip the egg whites until the egg whites fall off easily from the whisk attachment. Then add 1/3 of the granulated sugar and whip more.

  7. 7

    When the eggs are whipped to soft peaks, add in the remaining granulated sugar.

  8. 8

    When the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks, lower the mixer speed to low and whip for another minute to make a fine meringue.

  9. 9

    Add 1/3 of the meringue into the bowl from step 5 and mix well with a spatula.

  10. 10

    Add rest of the meringue in the bowl and fold gently without breaking the air in the meringue. Fold gently like cutting the batter with a knife.

  11. 11

    The batter is great when it makes thick ribbons when you lift the spatula.

  12. 12

    Pour the batter into a chiffon mold. Bang a couple times on the table to flatten the surface.

  13. 13

    Bake for 30 minutes in a 170°C oven.

  14. 14

    Take it out of the oven, flip the mold upside down, and cool on top of a can.

  15. 15

    Run a paring knife along the side and unmold the cake.

  16. 16

    Add sugar into the heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form. Slice the cake into 6 pieces, and serve with whipped cream and strawberries.
