How to Make a Delicious Cheese Chiffon Cake

Cheese chiffon cake, a delightful blend of light, airy texture and rich cheesy flavor, is a beloved dessert. Here’s a simple guide to baking this treat at home.

Ingredients:

- 85g cake flour

- 50g cornstarch

- 6 eggs (separated)

- 100g sugar (divided)

- 100g cream cheese, softened

- 60ml milk

- 30ml vegetable oil

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- ½ tsp cream of tartar

Steps:

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 20cm round cake pan. Sift flour and cornstarch together.

2. Cheese Batter: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add egg yolks, 30g sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix well. Gradually fold in the flour mixture until just combined.

3. Meringue: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until frothy. Add remaining sugar in batches, beating until stiff peaks form.

4. Combine: Gently fold 1/3 of the meringue into the cheese batter to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining meringue in two batches, using a spatula to maintain airiness.

5. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan. Tap gently to remove air bubbles. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool: Invert the pan immediately and let cool completely. Serve with a dusting of powdered cheese or fresh fruit.
