Souffle Chiffon Cake
- 40 grams A. Butter or margarine
- 80 grams A. Cake flour
- 90 grams B. Milk
- 4 B. Egg yolks
- 1 dash B. French vanilla syrup
- 4 cup Egg whites
- 1 dash C. Salt
- 40 grams C. Sugar
- 1 tsp C. Katakuriko
- 30 grams C. Maple syrup
- Sift the cake flour.
- Warm the milk.
- Separate the egg yolks and whites, and chill the egg whites into the freezer.
- Place the butter into a microwave safe container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 40 seconds.
- After mixing, microwave for an additional 20 seconds, until it starts to bubble gently around the edges.
- Take it out, add the sifted cake flour, and mix.
- When the mixture forms a mass, microwave it for another 20 to 30 seconds to even out the temperature.
- Add the warmed milk in four batches to the batter and mix.
- Blend well between additions.
- Add the egg yolks one at a time and mix, blending them.
- Add the French vanilla syrup and mix.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites that have been in the freezer to get rid of any lumps.
- Add the salt, then add the sugar in 3 btches while whipping.
- When adding the third batch of sugar, add the maple syrup and katakuriko and mix.
- After rotating your handheld mixer at low speed about 5 times around the meringue, change to a whisk and whip slowly to even out the meringue texture.
- Add two ladles of the meringue from Step 8 to the Step 5 batter, and blend together.
- Return this to the meringue bowl.
- Scoop the batter up from the bottom, return it to the bowl, and repeat.
- Mix evenly throughout without crushing the bubbles.
- Pour the batter from Step 10 into the chiffon mold.
- Drag a chopstick or the equivalent in a circle around in the batter 5 times to even out the surface.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees C for 20 minutes.
- Reduce to 160 degrees C, and bake for an additional 10~15 minutes.
- After baking, drop the entire mold from height onto a work surface to prevent the cake from shrinking.
- Let it cool as is inverted on top of a cup or similar.
- When the cake has cooled down enough, place in a plastic bag or similar.
- Let it rest for about half a day before taking the cake out of the pan.
- Slice and enjoy.
- This is the French vanilla syrup that I used this time.
