How to Make Raisin Chiffon Cake: A Complete Guide

Raisin chiffon cake, a light and fluffy dessert with plump raisins, is easier to make than you think. Follow this step-by-step guide to bake a perfect one.

Ingredients:

- 100g cake flour

- 80g granulated sugar (divided)

- 3 large eggs (separated)

- 40g vegetable oil

- 60ml milk

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 50g raisins (soaked in warm water for 15 mins, drained)

- 1/8 tsp salt

- 1/2 cream of tartar

Steps:

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a 17cm round cake pan with parchment paper. Sift flour and salt twice; set aside.

2. Mix Batter: Whisk egg yolks, 30g sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add sifted flour, fold gently until no lumps. Fold in raisins.

3. Whip Meringue: Using clean beaters, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 50g sugar, beat until stiff peaks form.

4. Combine: Gently fold 1/3 meringue into yolk batter to lighten. Fold in remaining meringue in two batches, maintaining airiness.

5. Bake: Pour batter into the pan. Tap pan to remove bubbles. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool: Invert the pan immediately and cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges and unmold.
