{Giveaway} matcha pudding chiffon cake

It has been a few weeks and I was itching to bake a chiffon cake.

Since I had a pack of matcha pudding mix, I thought I’d try my hand at baking a Matcha Pudding Chiffon Cake.

Chiffon cakes are so versatile and these ones made from puddings are so easy to make since the matcha pudding mix comes in ready-to-use packs.

And I have yet to be disappointed by the results because chiffon cakes are so airy and soft. 

Just what I love in a cake!

Having said that, let me show you how easy it is to bake this delicious Matcha Pudding Chiffon Cake!

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the egg yolks and oil until the mixture turns light and pale.

To this, add the milk and mix to combine.

Add the matcha pudding powder, and mix to just combine.

Fold in the flour in two additions. I used Prima Superlite flour for this cake because it gives the cake an extra light texture, but you can also use cake flour.

Set this aside.

In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue whisking until soft peaks form.

Gradually add the caster sugar and whisk until firm peaks form.

Transfer 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture. Beat it in.

Gently fold the remaining meringue in 2 batches, until no white streaks remain.

Pour the batter into an UNGREASED chiffon pan. Lift the pan about 10cm off the tabletop and drop it to remove the larger air bubbles. Repeat this twice more. If you wish, you can also run a skewer in the batter to remove the larger air bubbles.

Bake at 160°C for the time stated for the size of tube pan you are using. If the top of the cake gets too brown, place a piece of aluminium foil over the cake and continue baking. 

Once baked, invert the pan immediately to cool completely before unmolding.
