JOHN WHAITE'S CHOCOLATE CHIFFON CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 25cm round deep cake tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mix the oil, egg yolks, vanilla paste, caster sugar and 200ml water until well combined. Sift in the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
• Sift in the flour, bicarb and 1 tsp salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold into the batter with a large metal spoon and mix until everything is well combined.
• Gently pour the mixture into your cake tin, then bang it on the work surface twice to expel any large air pockets. Bake for 1 hr 10 mins or until the cake springs back when gently prodded and an inserted skewer comes out clean. (Cover with foil after 1 hr if the cake starts to get too dark.) Remove from the oven, cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a large wire rack and peel off the parchment. Leave until the cake is completely cool.
• Make the salted caramel icing while the cake bakes. Heat the brown sugar, ½ tsp salt and cream in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Bubble for a few mins, then leave to cool completely. Beat the butter until smooth, pour in the cooled cream mixture and continue mixing until softly whipped. Chill until needed.
• To make the ganache, heat the cream until just boiling. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for a few mins until the chocolate has melted and you have a smooth sauce consistency. Leave to cool at room temperature until the ganache is a pipeable thickness, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. To finish the cake, slice in half and fill with the salted caramel buttercream. Pipe tall spikes of chocolate ganache on top and decorate with the sea salt crystals. Will keep for up to 2 days in a cool place.

CHINESE SPONGE CAKE (CHIFFON CAKE)

• Mix flour and yolk mixture.
• Gently fold the flour and yolk into the egg whites.
• Pour into an ungreased angel food tin and bake for 40-50 minutes or until cooked through. The cake should spring back when lightly tapped (not sink).
• For best height, cool the cake in the tin turned upside down, but be careful of the cake falling out of the tin. Cake can be served and stored at room temperature.

SPONGE CAKE FROM A BOXED MIX

Steps:

• Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and set aside. Sift boxed cake mix twice. Combine cake mix, oil, and water until combined, then gently fold in egg whites. Once folded together, place mix into a greased bundt pan or other pan of your choice. Bake cake at 325 according to time listed on package, adding additional time as needed until cake tests done.

LIGHT AND FLUFFY CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 355 degrees F. Add the egg yolks, vegetable oil, water, vanilla, salt, and half of the sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine. (The remaining half of the sugar will be used for the egg whites.)
• Sift the cake flour and baking powder, into the egg yolk mixture in three batches. Fold after each time until well combined. Avoid over mixing.
• Add the egg whites and cream of tarter to a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium high speed while adding the remaining half of the sugar. Add the sugar in three batches until you've reached firm peaks. See Note 1.
• Add half the beaten egg whites to the egg yolk mixture. Fold gently to combine then add the remaining half. Fold gently again to avoid deflating the batter. The batter should be light, airy, and fluffy.
• Spray the inside of your ungreased, aluminum chiffon cake pan with water including the inner tube. This helps prevent the cake from sticking too much to the pan once baked. Pour the batter into the pan and fill up to 75% full otherwise you may risk overflow.
• Bake at 355 degrees F for 25 to 35 minutes. Your baking time will depend on how shallow or deep your pan is. See Note 2. Check after 25 minutes for doneness. It's ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is a golden brown color. If your pan is tall and deep, you may have to bake it longer.
• Remove from the oven and immediately flip the chiffon pan upside down to invert it. Cool it down as soon as possible to prevent it from sinking and deflating.Drape a cold, damp towel over it to cool it down as quickly as possible. Rinse the towel under cold water and wring it dry. Drape it over the pan again and repeat this process until the pan is no longer hot. See Note 3.
• Once the cake has cooled, flip over the pan and carefully run a knife along the sides of the pan to help remove it. Then run a knife along the bottom of the pan to remove it from the base.
• Invert the cake again so the flat side is facing up and dust on powdered sugar. Slice and serve.

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.

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.

EASY STRAWBERRY VANILLA CHIFFON CAKE RECIPE (EGGLESS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease and line three 6″ cake pans with oil and parchment paper, including the walls of the pans. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer with whisk attachment or in a large bowl and hand mixer, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar on medium speed until it starts to foam, about 3 minutes. Add in 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, and continue beating on medium-high speed to high speed until you achieve nearly stiff peaks. This process takes me about 10-12 minutes with a stand mixer. You don't want the peaks to droop at all. Usually when I've beaten the mixture enough, I actually still need 2-3 more minutes, bringing me to 10-12 minutes. Once you've achieved nearly stiff peaks, set the bowl aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine the dairy free milk, unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Add in the flour mixture, and continue to whisk just until the dry has incorporated into the wet ingredients. Pour the cake batter into the large bowl containing the aquafaba mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the batter into the aquafaba, mixing until there are just no more white steaks of aquafaba. Be careful not to deflate the stiff peaks too much by over mixing.
• divide the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans, Place the cake pans into the oven and bake the cakes for 30-32 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean. The cakes will look lightly golden on top. When you remove them from the oven, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. The cakes will slightly sink, but that's okay. As long as they're not caving into the middle, you're fine! Once the cakes have cooled in the pans for a few minutes, you can carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before making the vegan Swiss meringue frosting. Please keep in mind that the cakes will be delicate- more so than a vegan vanilla cake. Please handle with care!
• once your cakes have fully cooled, you can begin to make your frosting. If you'd prefer to make a vegan vanilla buttercream in lieu of a Swiss meringue buttercream, you may do so! To start: in a stand mixer or large bowl and hand mixer, cream the vegan butter for 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Add in aquafaba, and continue creaming until the mixture begins to whiten and turn even fluffier. Then add in the powdered sugar, and continue creaming the mixture until smooth and slightly glossy.
• use the frosting immediately for the cake. Use about 2/3 of the frosting to layer the cake, and crumb coat the edges. Then use the remaining frosting to create the final coating. It's easiest to chill the cake for 20-30 minutes in between the crumb coat and the final frosting layer. You can also place the frosting into the fridge to keep cold while the cake is chilling. Top with sliced strawberries and serve!
• Storage: store any leftovers sliced and in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer.

CHOCOLATE CHIFFON CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F and set aside a 10-cup tube pan (no need to grease).
• In a large bowl, combine the cocoa powder, boiling water, and espresso powder, if using. Whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Once cooled, add the egg yolks and brown sugar; whisk to combine.
• Whisk in the oil, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Sift the cake flour into the bowl and whisk to combine.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
• With the mixer on medium speed, slowly add the granulated sugar to the egg whites. Once fully added, increase the speed to medium-high and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
• In 3 additions, gently fold the meringue into the mixing bowl with the cake batter until combined.
• Transfer the cake batter to the pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, testing for readiness at 45, until the top springs back when touched and a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out with a moist crumb.
• As soon as your remove from the oven, flip the cake upside down onto the tube pan's feet-see tips if your pan does not have feet. Let rest for about an hour and a half until cooled to room temperature. This process prevents the cake from collapsing.
• To remove the cake from the pan, gently run a knife around the edge of the pan and the tube-you do not want to tear the cake. Remove the sides, then run a long knife between the bottom of the cake and the pan, and carefully lift the cake off of the pan.
• Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar and serve slices with lightly sweetened whipped cream or ice cream. The cake will keep tightly wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to three days.
