Ingredient
- 60 g Cake flour
- 70 g Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 30 ml Fresh milk
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 40 g Rice bran oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1-pound cake mold
- Parchment paper
Process
1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Mix the yolks with granulated sugar, rice bran oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well with a whisk.
2. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg yolk mixture. Stir gently until combined, then set aside.
3. Whisk the egg whites by hand until they form coarse bubbles. Gradually add granulated sugar while whisking until the egg whites reach a soft peak.
4. Fold a portion of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, gently folding to combine. Repeat this process in increments to maintain the airiness of the batter, ensuring the cake will rise properly.
5. Pour the batter into a cake mold lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
6. Remove the cake from the mold by flipping it onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment paper and flip the cake back upright. Allow it to cool before serving. Enjoy your delicious chiffon cake! Serve as is or pair it with fresh fruits for an even more delightful treat.
