How to Make Black Sesame Chiffon Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Black sesame chiffon cake combines nutty aroma with a light, fluffy texture, making it a delightful treat. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 6 egg yolks

- 40g sugar

- 60g milk

- 70g vegetable oil

- 100g cake flour

- 15g black sesame paste (or finely ground black sesame seeds)

- 6 egg whites

- 50g sugar (for meringue)

- Pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Prepare yolk batter: Whisk egg yolks and 40g sugar until pale. Add milk and oil, mix well. Sift in cake flour and black sesame paste, stir until smooth. Set aside.

2. Make meringue: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with salt until foamy. Gradually add 50g sugar, beat until stiff peaks form.

3. Combine: Gently fold 1/3 of the meringue into the yolk batter to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining meringue in two batches, using a spatula to avoid deflating.

4. Bake: Pour the batter into a 17cm chiffon tube pan. Tap the pan to remove air bubbles. Bake at 160°C for 45-50 minutes.

5. Cool: Invert the cake immediately and let it cool completely before removing from the pan.
