Charcoal Chocolate Chiffon Cake 竹炭巧克力戚风蛋糕(中英加图对照食谱)




My last post on the Cream Cheese Chiffon Cake was very well received. Many readers have baked it and feedback that they love the delicate, moist and melt-in-the-mouth texture. They even commented that it tastes like the Japanese cotton cheesecake after chilling it in the fridge. Some have called it a white beauty because of it's pale and smooth colour. Here's how it looks if you haven't seen it and you can find the recipe 'here'. 



Today I shall share another chiffon cake recipe which I have created based on my knowledge learnt from the last chiffon cake. 


After this post, my oven will take a break as I'll be going off for my holidays soon. See you again when I am back in mid-December!  

分享最新创作后,我家的烤箱可以暂时休息了,因为主人要去旅行游玩咯,十二月中旬再回来! :)

Japanese Cream Cheese Chiffon Cake 日式奶油乳酪戚风蛋糕(中英加图对照食谱)



This is one of the best chiffon cake that I have ever made as it's so delicate and smooth and literally melts in the mouth! Everyone who tries the cake, loves it's super smooth and moist texture. Hub and kids went for second and third helpings after eating a piece!

这是我吃过最好吃的戚风蛋糕,老公和孩子们吃了一片后还会想要再吃!蛋糕的质感好轻柔,又松软,入口即化!

Really love this recipe taught by a Japanese champion cake talent. In the past, I used to whip up the meringue till stiff peak stage when making chiffon cake, now I have learnt that the best meringue stage is firm peak stage and it's best for making chiffon cake. Firm peak stage is in between soft peak and stiff peak, thus you have to concentrate hard while beating the egg whites in order not to overbeat it.

好喜欢这日本蛋糕达人所教的配方喔! 以往我都是把蛋白霜打到硬性发泡,现在才学到必须把蛋白打成较湿的中性发泡蛋白霜。这是介于湿性发泡与硬性发泡之间的阶段,蛋白霜立起的圆锥状前端微微往下低垂,才是制作戚风蛋糕最理想的蛋白霜状态!所以打发蛋白霜时,一定要专心,不可以打发过头哦!

Another tip for achieving soft, delicate and moist chiffon cake is to use more egg white than egg yolk. Thus, it is better to separate the egg white and egg yolk first then measure out the weight according to the recipe. This recipe is a definite keeper and I am sure gonna bake this again soon!

要制作出轻柔,松软又入口即化的戚风蛋糕最重要的就是微妙的食材比例。所以蛋白和蛋黄是以克来计算的,请大家将蛋白和蛋黄分开后,再仔细称量正确的量。这食谱真的很棒,值得收藏!

Charcoal Cheese Bread 竹炭起司面包(中英加图对照食谱)




This is my first time baking bread with charcoal powder. I first saw charcoal bread in Taiwan's bakery shops many years ago. Activated charcoal is well known for its detoxification benefits, In fact it is an ancient way to cleanse the system as it is the most absorbent material to get rid of toxins and impurities from the body. Bamboo charcoal has become a popular ingredient in cooking and baking. Besides bread, you can find charcoal snowskin mooncakes, charcoal pastry, charcoal ice-cream etc. Charcoal is almost tasteless and it is good to use as a natural colouring too.
