Chiffon Cake #8: Chocolate (cooked dough method)


This chiffon cake is made using the cooked dough method. I did this during Christmas, covered the cake in ganache and let the kids put on all the decorations for fun.


17cm chiffon tin:

69ml milk
12g sugar
18g oil
Heat up milk, sugar and oil till the mixture boils. Lower heat.

36g cake flour
12g cocoa powder
Add in sifted cake flour and cocoa powder. Quickly stir the mixture until the mixture does not stick to the pan and a dough is formed. Off the heat.

36g whole egg +
3 egg yolks
When the dough has cooled down, add in the egg mixture slowly, stirring well before each addition.

3 egg whites
36g sugar
Beat egg whites till foamy, add in sugar and whisk until stiff peak. Add egg white into the egg yolk batter in 3 additions.

Pour into the cake tin. Knock the pan a few times to get rid of air bubbles.
Bake at 160 deg C, 50 minutes
