I was going to bake a pandan chiffon cake but then I saw this recipe.

I have heard of rice flour chiffon cakes, but had never made one. So I thought this was as good a time as any to start!

I really adore chiffon cakes and I am really pleased to report that chiffon cakes made with rice flour is pretty awesome! The cake is moist and chocolaty.

I won’t say that the rice flour makes a whole lot of difference to the taste of the cake. But yes, this is one tasty cake. 

If you’d like to try something different, here are the instructions on how to make this cake.

In a mixing bowl beat the egg yolks and caster sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy. Into this, add the vegetable oil.

Once the oil has been incorporated, add full-cream milk or chocolate milk and continue to beat.

Add the sifted flours, coco powder and salt.

Once mixed, set this aside.

In a clean mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar. Gradually, add the sugar, whisking all the while until stiff peaks form.

Add 1/3 of the meringue into the cake batter. Beat it in.

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

Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan (the height of the cake will vary). Lift the pan about 10cm off the table top and let the pan fall onto the table to remove the larger air bubbles. Repeat this twice more.

Bake at 170°C for the time stated for your pan size.

Once baked, invert the cake and cool completely before unmolding.

Cut a slice, get a glass of milk, put your feet up, get you book and chill. 🙂

Totally MY kind of cake!
