Orange Chiffon Cake
July 5, 2008Time flies indeed… so quickly… that it seems impossible… okie~ This is my 100th post! and yes, i have not been posting… cant seem to find enough time for myself, let alone bake or cook! =/ somehow i’m enjoying this buzzing around and unknowingly…. it has been 5 weeks since i started work!
yea… no longer the University Undergrad with the privilege to skip or be late for lectures *cover mouth* But a responsible young working adult, that reports to work On time (i try to!) and leave NOT on time. >.<
Decided on making a chiffon cake for my 100th post, they might seem plain and simple…. and may seem boring and standard, but inside, it can be flavorful. To make a successful chiffon cake it is not that easy as well! This orange chiffon cake is a recipe shared by Florence of <Do What I Like> and Florence claims that this recipe tasted better than the ones Bengawan Solo sells!
Ingredients:
(21cm Tube pan)
115g Cake Flour
3/4 tsp Baking powder
85ml Warm orange juice
Finely grated zest of 1.5 large orange
5 egg yolks + 30g castor sugar + Salt 1/4 tsp
5 egg whites + 50g castor sugar + 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
60ml Corn oil
1/2 tsp Vanilla essence or 2 tsp Rum
Steps:
- Sieve flour and baking powder.
- Whisk egg yolk, sugar and salt until creamy and light in colour.
- Add in corn oil, warm orange juice and rum. Mixed well.
- Fold in Flour mixture, followed by Orange zest.
- In another mixing bowl, Beat egg white with electric beater until big bubbles formed.
- Add in Sugar gradually and beat till soft peak.
- Add in cream of tartar and beat till stiff peak.
- Fold 1/2 of the egg white mixture into egg yolk and flour mixture. Gently fold till combined.
- Fold in the remaining egg white mixture and gently combine.
- Bake at 175C for 45 minutes or until cooked.
- Invert the cooked cake during cooling process.
Verdict?
Never tasted Bengawan Solo Orange chiffon cake, therefore i’m in no position to judge! but… it is indeed soft, fluffy and delicious!
My mum loves it! I personally felt that is something healthier compared to pandan chiffon cake :p and yes… the whole cake was consumed in 3hrs! =X
