Orange Chiffon Cake~New


Orange Chiffon Cake~New

Ingredients




4 Large Egg Yolks


15 g Sugar

50 g/ml Canola or Corn Oil

50 g/ml Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

70 g Pastry Flour, sifted

Zest of 2 Oranges

Meringue

80g Sugar
8 g Corn Flour/Starch


4 Large Egg Whites


Equipment: 7 inches Chiffon/Angel Tube Pan
Baking Sheet



Method



Position the rack on lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325˚F/160˚C.





Place the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl, and beat well. Add oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract and stir to incorporate with a whisk. Add flour and orange zest; mix well, until the batter becomes sticky.





Make the meringue: Combine sugar and corn flour. Beat the egg whites until foamy. Add half the sugar and continue beating for a few minutes, then add remaining sugar and beat until egg whites are glossy and stiff peaks form.



Add one-third of meringue into the egg yolk mixture and fold in lightly, then add remaining meringue and fold to incorporate completely.


Pour batter into an ungreased angel cake tube pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. When cake is done, remove from the oven and turn it over, leaving it to cool for about an hour. Once the cake is cool completely, carefully run a knife or spatula around the sides of the cake to loosen it before inverting onto a wire rack.

  2. @Anonymous:You can mix your own pastry flour. 1 1/3 cup (185 grams) all purpose flour plus 2/3 cup (85 grams) cake flour = 2 Cups Pastry Flour.

    When incorporating sugar into the egg whites, you mean incorporate the combined sugar + starch or just sugar alone??

  12. I think there's a correction:

    70g pastry flour is quite little

    and also do I need to add in baking powder?

    btw love your blog ♥ thanks

  13. @Anonymous: The measurement for this recipe is correct. I have tested it many times without the baking powder too. Happy baking and thanks for the support.

  14. hi angie, do you mind telling me how long should i mix the sugar and eggs for? and what do you mean by mixing the batter until "sticky?" I heard that for chiffon cakes the flour should only be mixed until combined so that the cake don't get hard, so i'm a little confused. thank you for your time!

    1. I can't remember how long i mixed the batter.The cake will harden if you mix too much of the meringue and batter.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
