Strawberry Chiffon Cake Strawberry Chiffon Cake
I had a craving for strawberry chiffon cake, so I tried baking it.1 pack of strawberries is more than enough for the batter and garnish. If you are not going to use the leftover strawberry sauce as a garnish, you can just mash rather than blending in a food mill.The batter is very thick at Step 4, but it will thin out as you mix in the egg whites. For 18 cm [7.1 in] chiffon mold. Recipe by ko-ko cookpad.japan -

Matcha Chiffon Cake Matcha Chiffon Cake
I love chiffon cake and azuki beans paste. So I created a matcha flavour chiffon cake which goes well with azuki paste.Whipped cream served with azuki paste is perfect.Make sure to whip merengue until firm peak form and gently fold batter to retain tiny bubbles.When you remove from the mold, run the bamboo skewer or chiffon cake knife around the cake – using an up and down motion – then remove. Turn cake over gently.You can make this chiffon cake without matcha liqueur (just add some more water to it instead; the amounts for both are listed below). Recipe by Chikazo- cookpad.japan -
Banana Chiffon Cake Banana Chiffon Cake
I've been making quite a few chiffon cakes ever since I started buying my eggs directly from the poultry farm. Every time, I try adding different kinds of ingredients into the cake. I'm looking forward to posting some of those recipes here if it turns out nicely.If the top is going to burn due to the height of your oven, cover it with aluminum foil. Because you use milk instead of water, the cake turns out really moist. When preserving, please wrap with plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer-safe zip bag. Defrost to serve. This way, you can keep the cake for a month. Recipe by nyamco3 cookpad.japan
