How to Make Chocolate Chiffon Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Chocolate chiffon cake, with its moist, airy texture and rich chocolate flavor, is a delightful treat. Here’s a simple guide to baking one at home.

Ingredients:

- 85g all-purpose flour

- 30g cocoa powder

- 5g baking powder

- 100g granulated sugar

- 3 large eggs (separated)

- 40g vegetable oil

- 60ml milk

- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Sift flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together; set aside.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add 60g sugar, mixing well.

3. Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture in three batches, avoiding overmixing.

4. Whip egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add remaining sugar gradually and beat until stiff peaks form.

5. Fold in meringue: Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites in two batches.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into a 15cm tube pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool: Invert the pan immediately and let cool completely before removing.

Enjoy your light, fluffy chocolate chiffon cake plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar!
