Lemon Yoghurt Cranberries Chiffon Cake

by - Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Yet another Chiffon Cake this weekend. That's because I kept all my other tins in carton, ready to move over to my parents new place. I'm now looking for another Chiffon Cake recipe. =P

Got this recipe Kitchen Caper, posted by Reirei. I forgot to take pictures of the cake until almost everything was gone, so I only have photos of a slice of it. Hehehe...

Lemon Yoghurt Cranberries Chiffon Cake

Ingredients A
4 egg yolks
40g castor sugar
1/4 tsp salt
40g corn oil
120g plain yoghurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
80g dried cranberries (I used Craisins, Ocean Spray)
zest of 1 lemon

Ingredients B
120g Cake flour
1/2 tbsp Baking powder

*Sift 2x

Ingredients C
5 egg whites
50g castor sugar
1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar

  1. In a bowl, using hand whisk, whisk yolks and sugar till sugar dissolves.
  2. Add oil and salt, whisk and add yoghurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir well.
  3. Fold in sifted flour, cranberries and mix well.
  4. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat till the whites are frothy. Add in Cream of Tartar and beat till soft peaks.
  5. Add in sugar gradually and beat till stiff peaks.
  6. Fold in 1/3 of the whites into the yolk mixture using a rubber spatula till incorporated.
  7. Pour the mixture to the remaining egg whites and fold in gently till incorporated.
  8. Pour the batter into a 21cm chiffon tube pan. Bang the pan on the table to get rid of bubbles.
  9. Oil a piece of aluminium foil and cover the pan loosely. Bake at 170 deg.C for 10mins.
  10. Turn down the temperature to 160 deg.C and bake for 10mins. Lift up the foil to check the surface of cake, bake for another 10mins.
  11. Insert a skewer to check if cake is done. Remove the foil and reduce the temperature to 150 deg.C and bake for a further 5 to 10mins to brown the surface.
  12. Remove from the oven and invert the pan. Remove the cake from pan when it's completely cooled.
Lazy me skipped steps 9 - 11. The foil was supposed to help brown the cake evenly. My cake also flopped a little 'cause I under whisked the egg whites. So it didn't turned out that 'tall', but it still tasted soft and moist!
