Plain Chiffon Cake
- 3 medium Egg yolks
- 3 medium Egg whites
- 45 grams Vegetable oil
- 50 grams Water
- 85 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 grams Baking powder
- 80 grams Cake flour
- 1 dash Liqueur (white rum)
- Add 1/2 of the granulated sugar to the egg yolks, and mix until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the oil and water, and mix some more.
- Add the sifted cake flour and baking powder, and mix until the mixture is no longer floury.
- Add the remaining granulated sugar into the egg whites, and mix until stiff peaks form.
- It should be firm enough that if you flip the bowl, the meringue doesn't slide off.
- Add 1/3 of the meringue to Step 2, and mix with a whisk to thin the batter.
- Switch to a spatula, and add 1/2 of the remaining meringue, and fold it in quickly.
- When there are still white lumps in the mixture, add the remaining meringue, and fold it in quickly until no longer lumpy.
- Pour the mixture into the mold from a height, and tap on the table a few times to smoothen the batter.
- Bake in the oven preheated to 170C for 30 minutes.
- When baked, place it on a bottle or something to hold it upside down, and wait until it has completely cooled.
- Run a chiffon knife around the edges of the pan to remove from the mold, and it's done.
- I baked one cake in 12 cm square mold illustrated in the picture (35 minutes for baking) and one in 12 cm diameter paper chiffon mold.
- When you are using 15 cm diameter chiffon mold, fill it up about 70% full and bake.
- You will have some leftover batter.
