Yuzu Chiffon Cake Food

YUZU CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift flour, cornstarch and baking powder at least 5 times. Add yuzu zest, sugar and salt and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, strained yuzu juice (about ½ cup) and olive oil. Add to flour mixture. Using a spatula, add yogurt and stir until smooth. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks. Quickly and gently fold egg whites into batter until you no longer see streaks of white. Pour into a 9-inch nonstick tube pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 55 minutes, until cake springs back when lightly pressed. Let cool in pan set on a baking rack for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the ganache. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add milk, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk until incorporated. Once it reaches a low boil, whisk gently for 1 minute and remove from heat. Let come to room temperature.
• Twenty minutes before frosting the cake, put the ganache in the refrigerator until firm. Gently remove cake from pan. Pour the ganache over the cake, covering the top and drizzling it over the sides and in the center.

CHIFFON CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, water, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest. Whisk well to combine.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate medium bowl. Add ¾ cup (150 grams) of sugar and salt and whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk well.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form and the egg whites are glossy.
• Pour the egg yolk batter into the egg whites and fold to combine with a spatula.
• Divide the batter between 2 ungreased 8.5-inch (21 cm) round cake pans (not greasing will help the chiffon cakes rise).
• Bake for 40-50 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for 10-15 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
• While the cakes are baking, make the buttercream frosting: combine the butter and about half of the sugar in a large bowl and cream with a hand mixer until combined. Add the rest of the sugar and beat to incorporate. With the mixer running, slowly add the evaporated milk and beat until smooth.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and cool the cake upside down. Once cool to the touch, sliding an offset spatula around the edges to release the cakes from the pans.
• Cut off the tops of the cakes so the surfaces are flat and smooth.
• Set 1 cake on a cake platter or serving dish. Spread buttercream over the top of the cake with an offset spatula and sprinkle with some seasonal fruit. Cover the fruit with buttercream.
• Place the other cake on top. Spread buttercream over the top, keeping the sides exposed, and decorate with seasonal fruit and edible flowers.
• Enjoy!
