Matcha Chiffon Cake with White Chocolate Matcha Chiffon Cake with White Chocolate
I posted a matcha variation of the basic chiffon cake before, but this is a version with white chocolate chips.I used mini chocolate chips. The melting point of chocolate depends on whether it's confectionery or normal bar chocolate. Also, finely chop it, otherwise it will cause air bubbles.As matcha absorbs moisture, the batter may be stiffer than you expect. Make sure it's soft and runny before pouring into the mold.

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 -
