GREEN TEA (MATCHA) CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C.
• Separate three eggs. Egg yolks in one and whites in another stainless steel bowl.
• Whisk the eggs yolks with the sugar in ingredient (1), then add the oil and subsequently the water. Mix it until homogenous.
• Sieve all the ingredients in (2). Add the sieved ingredients to the egg yolk batter. Mix until homogenous.
• Beat the egg whites until it becomes foamy. Add the castor sugar and cream of tartar. Continue beating at medium speed until it forms firm peaks.
• Add 1/3 of the meringue to the batter, gently mix well.
• Divide the remaining meringue into the 2 portions. Add the first portion to the batter and fold in the meringue gently.
• Once it is almost homogenous, add the second portion. Fold until only traces of meringue are visible.
• Pour the batter into the tube pan.
• Bake at 325°F/160°C top temperature and 375°F/180°C bottom temperature.
• Bake for 25 minutes, check if the top of the cake is too brown or about to crack. Cover with aluminum foil or a small metal tray if necessary.
• Continue to bake for another 40 minutes or until it is cooked.
• Invert the cake on a wire rack. Let it cools fully.
• Lightly tap the cake pan with your palm, while rotating the pan. The cake will eventually detach from the pan.
• Squeeze the side of the cake close to the base until the base detaches from the cake. Remove the base. Serve.

PANDAN CHIFFON CAKE (UPDATED RECIPE)

Steps:

• Place chopped pandan leaves into a blender or food processor and add water. Process to a pulp. Note: Depending on your blender, you may need to add 1 - 2 tbsp more of water to get the blades turning well enough to process.
• Place the pulp in a metal strainer. Press the back of a spoon against it to obtain the juice. Set aside 1 tbsp. The leftover can be kept chilled.
• Preheat oven to 170°C (338°F). Position the oven rack on the lowest in the oven.
• Have a 20-cm (8-inch) chiffon tube pan ready. DO NOT GREASE.
• Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a separate, large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until thick and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, oil, pandan juice and pandan paste. Stir with a whisk until until well combined.
• Add the sifted flour mixture in 2 additions. Stir with a whisk until all the flour is incorporated and no streaks of flour are visible. The mixture should be thick, smooth and free of lumps.
• Fit an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. In a dry, grease-free mixer bowl, pour in egg whites and sprinkle cream of tartar over.
• Whisk on medium speed (speed 4 on my Kitchen Aid). When the egg whites become frothy, add sugar bit by bit in a steady stream. Whip until stiff peaks form. This may take 5 to 7 minutes, depending on your mixer and speed.
• Add ⅓ of meringue (whipped egg whites with sugar) to the batter. Fold in gently with a whisk until well incorporated.
• Add another ⅓ of the meringue and again, fold in gently.
• Add the remaining meringue and fold in gently. The final batter should feel light, and have no visible streaks of meringue.
• Pour into the chiffon tube pan from one place, and let the batter spread to fill the pan.
• Gently run a thin spatula in an 'S' motion throughout the batter to reduce large air pockets. Smooth and level the surface. Give the pan a few taps on the counter top to minimise air pockets.
• Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until done. DO NOT open the oven door. Only do so about 5 minutes before the end of baking, to test if done. The cake is done when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Note: A bit of cracking on the surface of the cake as it bakes is perfectly alright!
• Immediately invert the pan over a bottle neck once it is removed from the oven. Allow it to 'hang' until completely cooled.
• To release the cake, run an offset spatula gently around the sides of the pan, pressing against the pan as much as possible.
• Then invert the pan again so that the bottom is now facing up. Gently tap or push the pan's base to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Then run the spatula around the base to release the funnel.
• Chiffon cake is served 'upside-down'.

CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170°C. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two large mixing bowls.
• Whisk the egg yolks along with 20g sugar, flour, oil, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract and set aside. Do not over-whisk.
• Using an electric whisk or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until foamy, then whisk in the sugar in 3 small increments (20g at a time) and add the cream of tartar.
• Continue to whisk for about 10-15 mins until the mixture is light and airy. You can check if it is ready by turning the bowl upside down - if the mixture does not drip and stays in place then it is ready.
• Slowly fold the egg white mixture into the batter in small increments (about 3 times), and continue to cut and fold the mixture until it is fully combined. Do not over-mix.
• Grease the bottom of an 8-inch tube pan and pour the mixture in. Gently tap on the table a few times to ensure that it is evenly spread. Bake in the oven for about 40-50 mins, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• If you are using an angel-food cake pan, place the pan upside-down on a wire rack. If you are using a chiffon cake pan, place the pan upside-down on a tall heavy bottle. Cooling the cake upside-down will help it stretch downwards instead of collapsing.
• Allow it to cool fully before removing it from the pan. To release the cake from the pan, gently use a knife to remove the cake from the sides.

PINEAPPLE CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare an ungreased tube pan.

• In a large mixing bowl,, beat the egg whites and the cream of tartar together until very stiff peaks form (DO NOT UNDER BEAT!).
• Pour egg yolk/oil batter over the egg whites; gently fold the egg whites making sure it is well blended from the bottom of the bowl (I use a large spatula for this).
• Pour the batter in tube pan.
• Bake for 60 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched.
• Invert/turn over and cool (I use a long-neck bottle, a beer bottle will do fine to invert the pan on).
• Run a knife along sides of cooled cake, and remove from pan.
• Split into two layers.
• Fill and frost with pineapple filling/topping (make sure that cake is completely cooled before frosting and filling.
• To make the pineapple topping/filling: whip the 2-3 cups of whipped cream add in the amount of sugar that you desire.

• Use to fill and frost cake.
• Refrigerate any leftover cake, but you won't have to worry, there won't be any leftovers LOL!

ORIGINAL CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• First prepare two oil-free and water-free containers to separate the egg yolk and egg whites
• To make egg yolk paste: add 27 grams of sugar to the yolk
• Stir well
• Add 40ml of water and stir well
• Add 40 grams of vegetable oil and beat until milky white, about 4 to 5 minutes
• Sift in low-gluten flour
• Stir well and set aside
• Make meringue: Use an electric whisk to beat the egg whites at high speed. When white foam appears, add one-third of the fine sugar
• Beat at medium speed until white foamy, then add one third of the fine sugar
• Continue to beat, lift up the whisk, and when you can pull out a long hook, add the remaining one-third of the fine sugar.
• Turn to low speed and beat until moist foaming, that is: after stopping the whipping, use a whisk to circle the meringue and lift it up, and there will be sharp corners, but the sharp corners are slightly hooked. At this time, preheat the oven, 180 degree
• Mixing: first take one-third of the meringue and put it in the egg yolk paste
• Use a spatula to quickly cut and mix evenly
• Then pour it into the meringue
• Quickly cut and mix evenly, don't make circles to avoid tendons
• Pour into the mold, smooth the surface, pick up the mold, shake a few times on the table, shake out the big bubbles inside
• Put it in the middle and lower level of the preheated oven, and heat up and down at 150 degrees, and bake for 1 hour (the picture shows the state when it is baked for 30 minutes)
• After being out of the oven, fall freely on the table at 40 cm, shake out the heat inside, avoid retraction, and buckle immediately
• After letting cool, take off the mold, gently squeeze it with your hands, and take it off when you top it on the bottom.

RED VELVET MARBLED CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the marbling: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, vegetable oil, and food coloring. Whisk in the boiling water until the mixture is smooth and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• For the chiffon cake: Sift the cake flour with 3/4 cup of the sugar into a separate medium bowl. Add the baking powder and salt and whisk together. Set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 7 egg yolks, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla until combined.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk together to form a loose batter. Be sure to continue whisking until all the clumps of flour have been completely incorporated and the batter is smooth. Set aside
• Meanwhile, add the 9 egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and begin to beat on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating. Begin slowly streaming in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
• With a rubber spatula, stir a third of the meringue into your batter, folding it in to preserve as much air in the egg whites as possible. Gently fold in the remaining meringue and continue to stir until completely incorporated.
• Remove 2 cups of the batter and fold into your cooled chocolate mixture.
• Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with baking spray, butter or shortening. Cut 2 parchment circles and line the bottoms of the pans. Grease the paper as well.
• Divide half of the vanilla cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Dot the chocolate batter on top. Cover with the remaining vanilla batter. With a toothpick, skewer or butter knife, swirl the batters around to create a marble effect.
• Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Gently pull the sides away from the edges of the pan with a butter knife and invert cakes onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Remove the parchment.
• For the cream cheese frosting: Add the cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix until smooth. Add the butter and continue beating on medium until smooth.
• Add half the confectioners' sugar and mix starting on low and increasing to medium-high speed until fluffy. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and the vanilla extract. Mix until fluffy, smooth and velvety. If the mixture is too thick, loosen with a splash of milk. Add a bit more confectioners' sugar if the frosting seems too loose. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Place a cooled cake layer on a serving platter with the domed side down. Pipe about 1 1/2 cups cream cheese frosting into large rosettes on top and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Top with the second cake layer, domed-side up. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
