How to Make Homemade Chiffon Cake
Japanese chiffon cake is a light, delicate, and mildly sweet dessert, perfect for any occasion—from breakfast to celebrations. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites
- 3 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup rice flour (from a 200ml cup, approx. 2.6 oz / 75g)
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (1.4 oz / 40g for the meringue, remaining for the yolk mixture)
- 3 tablespoons oil of your choice (1.5 fl oz / 45ml)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water (1 fl oz / 30ml)
Instructions:
Yolk Mixture:
First, beat the three egg yolks with three tablespoons of sugar until a light and airy cream forms. Then, add the oil, water, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all ingredients. Next, gradually add the rice flour while mixing continuously until the batter becomes smooth and uniform.
Meringue:
Then, in a separate clean and dry bowl, beat the four egg whites until stiff peaks form. After that, slowly add the remaining sugar (40g), divided into three portions. Keep beating until the meringue is firm and glossy.
Combining the Mixtures:
After that, gently fold a portion of the meringue into the yolk mixture. Use gentle upward strokes to keep the batter airy. Then, pour this mixture back into the remaining meringue, folding gently to maintain the light texture.
Baking the Cake:
Next, pour the batter into a glass baking dish lined with parchment paper on the bottom (no need to grease the sides) and place it in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C). Bake for approximately 35 minutes. To finish this step, here’s a useful tip: tap the dish lightly on the counter before baking to release any large air bubbles.
Cooling:
Lastly, once the cake is out of the oven, turn it upside down on an elevated surface and allow it to cool completely. This technique helps the cake keep its fluffy texture and height.
Tips and Variations:
- Flavor twist: Try adding lemon or orange juice and zest to the batter for a citrusy version.
- Topping suggestion: Although it’s delicious on its own, Japanese chiffon cake can also be served with fresh whipped cream or a thin layer of your favorite jam.
