I remember finding my chiffon cakes so dry all the time and then I started generously sprinkling each layer with syrup or lightly sweetened milk, an voila, perfect moist cakes
Hi I’m going to try to make this cake and I’d love to implement your advice but what have you found success with exactly? It’s my first cake attempt so I’d love all the details if possible 🥺 please & thank you 💕
I tried out this vanilla chiffon recipe in a 18x15 half sheet pan, basically at 1.5 ratio, and baked two layers, sandwiching jam and cream, topped with whipped cream and berries. it was just incredible. I did cut the sugar in the yolk part by about 1/3, but otherwise meticulously followed the technique. The texture of the cake is something beautiful, cotton but melt in your mouth. The tip of waiting till the cake deflates in the oven is genius! Thank you so much for the detailed thoughtful recipe. I'm going to check to see if you have a cookbook because your instructions and creativity are beautifu!!!l
Just made your recipe for my birthday and it was such a hit! I never knew a cake could become so high with all those layers of fruit, cake and cream! I used your greek yoghurt whipped cream icing recipe. The cake turned out amazingly- pillowy soft, not too sweet, and the freshness of the fruit was delightful. Thank you so much for the recipe, it's definitely one I will remake again! 100% worth the effort :D
I've done a lottt of research and watched a lot of videos on chiffon cake, have never run into the tip about looking for deflation at the end to ensure doneness. It's super illuminating, and I think I've been pulling my cakes out too early all this time! Can't wait to try it out, THANK YOU for your work! 💐
I'm being in love with your science-based baking and developed recipes so bad i don't think i'm gonna stop anytime soon Thank you for the perfect recipe, will give a try near future😍
I bake a similar cake for 3 leches. I lightly soak them with whole milk, condensed milk and evaporated milk pinch of salt and splash of vanilla. Super delicious.
I haven't been watching you long, a couple weeks mostly, but I love the way you break things down, giving the how, analyzing the different aspects. And that cake is GORGEOUS! You don't just have this knowledge and skill, you have the vision and articulation to make it very visibly appealing! If you had one of those UA-cam subscriber pay group things, I would join it in a heartbeat, just to support you, not for any sort of extra content ❤️
Made this today & it turned out great! The only change I made was to poke some holes in the cake and put Ready‐Whip on top to let it soak in (since I had some on hand). Oh, & I added Kiwis. Perfectly moist cake. Delicious 😋 I would perhaps make more frosting next time as I didn’t really have enough to decorate fully with.
I am a major fan of chiffons and always make them in the tube pan and let them cool upside down. Love love love that you experimented with cooling right side up vs down and non-tubed cake pans as I’ve been interested in the result… Also your observation that the texture was just a hair dry is consistent with my own observation about another style cake with folded in whipped egg whites…it too was only noticeable to me but very real…thank you for this experiment and please keep them coming… Tomorrow I’m trying a chocolate cake with melted chocolate in the batter…🤞🏽
Yum! Definitely going to give this chiffon recipe a try. My mom loves orange flavored "chiffon" cakes with chocolate, but hers always end up kinda dense. Still delicious, but I bet she'd love this even better.
Thank you for your amazing explanations of the science behind cakes!! I always use chiffon layers and i noticed they would deflate and pull away but since it was fully baked, I thought it was normal in chiffon layer cakes 😅. Thanks for letting me know that isn’t the case! I’ll def use your tips in the future
Thanks for your video!! I went to this bakery and I wanted to bake it ..you saved me…I have baked your receipes and all of them had been a success..blessings for your channel !! Ahh always eager to watch your videos 🙋♀️🙏
Just tried your recipe, and definitely my new go to. Makes a very light texture. Went for spices, so cut vanilla in half and added my usual qty of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and clove, wonderful result. Thanks. Frosting with a nice Espresso flavoured french buttercream 😃
I made this and got it perfectly right from the first time. I can't even make scrambled eggs. It was soft, moist, and airy like a dream. Exactly how I've always expected cake to be. You're AMAZING!
Thank you so much for these chiffon recipes! I made the ube chiffon for my daughter's birthday and even the people who didn't like cake were coming back for seconds. I would LOVE to see you do a lemon chiffon cake next.
This is the easiest and most fail proof recipe for chiffon, I really love this recipe so much, made it many times already, thank you so much for sharing it
I have been waiting for this video!!! Thank you for all your fun facts that come along with baking!!😍💜 The cake looks amazing! I can't wait to try this recipe out! 🤤 Mr. Sugarologie gives his approval woo! 🤣🙌
I will try this recipe for my kids birthday!! For the filling I will use fresh fruits, canned peaches (and maybe use the syrup to wet the cake) and the my favorite white brigadeiro cream. I will comeback and report the results hehe ❤
I'm definitely going to try this out as I've been trying to master this as well into normal cake tins because this cake is sooo delicious & I always make it & like even if it flops in my normal cake tins, I make it work by obviously with the filling but really stressful coz it is sooo delicate... so thank you so much
This is my favourite kind of cake!! I will try this! I've been using tasteofhome's strawberries n cream (lemon chiffon, whipped cream frosting and starwberries) cake recipe that i keep getting compliments on and its my favourite but i haven't mastered the whipped cream frosting, it definitely looked ugly lol. Will try the stabilized frosting here! And the chiffon recipe here!
I want to try your recipe but for a strawberry shortcake, and pair it with either the yogurt or mascarpone whipped cream frosting 👀 thank you so much for these!!!
You can use either, but for the fluffiest result, use water. It’s better able to hydrate the starches in the flour and cornstarch, yielding a fluffier crumb ;)
hi! thank you for the recipe, and all your recipes! made this and loved it. wondering if i can adapt this to be a lemon chiffon cake with a lil juice and zest in the yolk mixture without impacting the structure? thanks again :)
I've tried it with melted butter - it will get you 90% there for this cake - it was so tasty. The cake was just so incredibly light when using oil that I had to opt for that in the master recipe. So if you follow my exact recipe and sub for melted butter for oil (by weight) It's going to be a little bit different because butter contains up to 20% water. This will likely cause a difference in texture if the recipe isn't rewritten a little to account for that. But it will definitely still be good.
Do you think a silikone baking tray would be fine? I've had some sticking to the sides (with your almond vanilla cake) , but there's no way I can find an aluminum baking tray on such short notice. I'd like to use this cake to make a letter cake, it seems sturdy enough from the way you cut & layer it.
Hi Inguna! So with chiffon, you want it to stick to the sides, so you get the proper height for the cake, and silicone is a slightly non-stick material. I've tried my chiffon in silicone, but only in the mini size (you can see me do it in my coffee sous-vide video). It does stick, but I'm not sure about larger silicone pans. If you're having problems with the vanilla almond cake, this is what I do to prep my pans: Use butter and rub it all along the entire interior of your pan. (I use old butter wrappers that have butter stuck on them). Now line the bottoms with a parchment circle and make sure they're stuck to the butter. Then add a small amount of flour and turn the pan, so the flour coats the sides and dump out any excess. I use aluminum baking pans if that helps you.
Wow !! This is great info and your cake looks amazimg !! Question for you about when you know the cake is done. You talked about it pulling from the sides and concave look. Is that only regarding this cake or all cakes ? I had thought that if butter based cakes pull away from the edges they are done. Just wanted to ask and clarify. & Thank you for sharing your knowledge !!
Oh thats SUCH a good point - so this is only for my chiffon. The internal structure of the cake is such that if you underbake the crumb framework can't support itself. All my other cakes pull away from the sides a little when baked - but they have much more stable ingredients (more flour, different egg ratios, etc.) for structure that there's no risk of collapse.
@@Sugarologie Ok good to know & glad I asked b/c the pulling away from the edges is one way I always knew was a sign of doneness in most cakes. Thanks for responding so quickly also :)
Hello, I love your instructions it's so clear. I would like to try this cake but I am not sure about the flour. Can I use self-raising flour or just plain flour since in Australia we have this tow types of flour. Thanks I appreciate your help. One more thing if I use self-raising flour then I have to cut the amount of backing powder?
Hey Adriana! I'm planning to make a tiramisu cake, using your chiffon, an espresso and rum soak, with your mascarpone whipped cream. Is this the right cake to use?
This is seriously the best recipe I have ever tried. I really would like to know if the chiffon can also be made as a chocolate version? Can I just replace some of the flour with cocoa powder? Or do I need more fluids then? So many questions.. I hope you can help me. 😊
Ahh thank you! So I designed this cake so that I could easily make alterations like the chocolate you're asking for - the thing is - I haven't tested it yet! So you see the cornstarch in my recipe? That can be subbed out for other non-gluten starches, and a good one would be cocoa powder. Whether or not it would impart a chocolate flavor that's strong enough for the entire cake, I'm not sure. But that's where I'd start and adjust from there (eg subbing out more flour to enhance chocolatey-ness or adding a touch more liquid to add moisture.) These recipes will be added soon though I'm not sure when ;)
They should freeze well - wrap it airtight so moisture can’t get in or out but not so tight it deforms the cake - then some ppl like to do foil for storage longer than a week and I put mine in freezer zip bags 👍🏼
Would this cake be good for stacking? Like for a 3 tier wedding cake (8", 6" and 4"). I'm concerned if it's stable enough (yes I'd be using dowels to support the tiers). I intend to use whipped ganache for filling. Comments?
Hi! I've been wanting to make this cake with a semi-naked design. Most decorating videos say to freeze the cake so, was wondering if you could freeze this cake or not.
I’ve made this cake 2 times following you exact instructions but I only get 2 layers not 4 but the cake itself is spongy and taste great I also used an 8 inch round pan but my cake never rose like your
I’ve never tried 9 inch pans but it will take less time since the cakes will be thinner - be sure to watch the surface like I do in my vid to make sure it’s done :)
Your cake is gorg! How come my bake was sliding off and I had to use dowels to hv them straighten up? And i only had 2 layers. 😓 My cake had a chance to cool overnight.
Ok I've got to try this. I lived for 2 years I S. Korea and I miss their cakes. I read that the recipe is in the video and I watch it but I don't see the amounts of what to put in. I'm so missing something help
Ahh!!! Something I have science info on! So! The cakes found in Chinese/Korean/Japanese etc bakeries is not typically available in the US/Canada to the regular consumer, you can buy it but you have to know to look for it. A common brand name is Super Violet. Why is this special? The flour is made of! It's yes, your standard soft white wheat low protein flour found in most cake flours at about 8-9% protein, BUT the secret is it contains a portion of Club Wheat flour! It's believed to be a native wheat species of the America's, and it's very very soft and has a protein content of about 4-6%! Starch only works so well as a replacement for protein because of how it gels etc. The flour that East Asian markets buy (and the EA bakeries) is called Western White flour with approximately 10-20% of its contents being White Club Wheat mixed with you're standard White Cake Flour. That's why in the US Canada etc our chiffon type cakes almost never come out right or the same, is that flour. Also please note i found this information a few years ago regarding protien content of the flours, it may have changed over that time, but in essence Club Wheat is lower protien then more standard Soft Winter White which is typically used for low protein cake flour that isn't bleached, and lower protien than standard bleached cake flour, and is mixed with either the unbleached or bleached cake flour for lower softer gluten content.
Hi, the cake looks great! Can I ask what is the recipe for the honey whipped cream or should we replace the grams of sugar with honey? Also I’d really love to add the mango but will it be too dry?
Oh the mango is great - don’t get me wrong but but texture wise I was being really nitpicky. I just did this cake again with all mango and it was fantastic
Great recipe!! What would happen if I reduced de amount of sugar that goes into the dry ingredients but not the amount that goes into the meringue? Would it affect the final result badly? Thanks!!
So the cake may be a tad drier. Sugar is a liquid ingredient and contributes moisture to the cake - you can start with a little at first, like 10% and work your way down if you like.
Yes theoretically you could but you’d have to be careful, the temp may need to be reduced bc the outside of the pan will cook faster than the interior and may over cook/brown faster. It’s a fine balance that I’ve figured out for the pans in my Cakeculator but deeper cakes/pans require a bit of experimentation
You can use either, but the recipe on my blog will always have my latest recipe. I found that using milk adds extra proteins to the cake, making just the slightest bit tougher, whereas water will give you a fluffier result. Both work great though :)
I just made my first chiffon cake with this recipe and even after letting it cook for the full recommend 35 minutes and watching them deflate they still pulled away from the pan. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Should I be leaving them in even longer?
If it's the first time making this recipe, it's probably just a tad underbaked. This happens to me when I alter or come up with new chiffon cakes, and the ingredients change the amount of heat transfer. This is my standard chiffon, so what happens for me is that the cake rises a tad higher than my 2-inch pan with a rounded surface. Then it shrinks down a little to the level of the pan. The top will be slightly toasty, and sometimes, if I overbake it just a tad, the sides will *just* start to pull away from the sides, but are still attached and kinda look like cobwebs. Then, when my time is done (about 35 mins for my oven), I take the pan out and place it on a rack. The cake will then level completely to a flat surface. So, for next time, just bake a little longer. Sometimes, just 3-5 more minutes will do, but it really depends on your oven. Do you have an internal oven thermometer? Those help me a ton. And for the current cake, it's still delicious. I always serve them anyway. :) They'll just be a little concave on the sides near the top.
@@Sugarologiethank you so much for the in-depth answer! I just got an oven thermometer a couple of days ago and it seems my oven is cooler than the display temperature so I’ll give it another attempt and leave it in a tad longer. I’m also glad to know I don’t have to wait for it to be perfectly level with the pan before taking it out
Huummm question you say in your calculator that for an 8 in 2 pan that it requires 2/3 cup of milk or 148g . Is it possible that 2/3 cup of milk would be closer to 160ml thus 160g for the milk? Sorry another terrible geek here 🤪. Ohh and huge thank you for your scientific approach to pastry👍
Ah no worries - I’m glad that you asked bc I wouldn’t want there to be mistakes :) So I go by King Arthur Flour’s Ingredient weight chart - for milk, it’s 1 cup = 8 oz (weight) = 227g, so 2/3 cups = 227*.67 = 152g, which I’m off by a few grams. But yeah those are the numbers I use for calculating my conversions. And hey geek out any time here - you’re in good company 😬
Thks for the info , in that case were you measuring by volume? Also I did validate on the dairy institute it seems milk is closer to 1.04g/ml, just fyi 😃. The weight King Arthur provides u is less than water and closer to veggie oil. Again just fyi. Huge thks again for the answer I’ll try this always wanted to do a chiffon, and my first try was ok but left perfectible
@@patrickrioux6349 So I'm looking at the USDA site now and they're stating it's ~243-246 per cup. Wow King Arthur is so accurate with their flour measurements that it's strange as to where they got their 226 from. So I bake almost exclusively by weight (g) except for teaspoons and things like that - so my recipes baked in grams are precise. I'm going to have to look into it the differences though - thanks for letting me know! :)
@@patrickrioux6349 I think it should work - OJ will supply a bit of acid and the zest will provide the flavor essences from orange. Let me know if you try it!
@ I see, you’ve come a long way since you started…congrats on being in the triple hundred thousands too…! …I can’t recall what your channel name was before you changed it to Sugarology…cheering for you!
The chiffon cakes on this video don't seem to follow the same recipe in your calculator. The cakes look too light for the amount of flour used in your calculator.
Fun experiment! My brother is a baker and I think he would find this so interesting. I may make this for his birthday. What was it that you placed on top?
So the top were mango slices that I wrapped into flowers, strawberries cut in half and a flower from my garden - it's an edible kind called sweet alyssum 🌸
Hello! I'm having a problem with my chiffons...I've already baked it 6 times and they still don't come out perfect. They usually collapse on me after I put them upside down. When I take them from the pan there's a concave at the bottom. And all of them have this layer of unbaked batter at the bottom. I do wait until it deflates before removing them. The sides are even becoming too brown and dry, and I left it in for 50mins. Don't know what else to try, any help is appreciated!
It's a great recipe and very well explained. But when following the recipe in the cakeulator, #2 tells you to grease and flour the pan. Then #3 says to not do it. Maybe just don't put in #2 it seems kind of confusing.
@@Sugarologie your the best. Also ment to ask about flavors. I am trying to make a pineapple chiffon as well as a guava and a lime. Should I just sub the water for the juice? Hope its that easy.🤞
When I watch this video I don’t see the actual recipe. I also don’t find it or a link for it in the comments section below the video. So how can I get the recipe?
Hi Clairressa - you may have to click "show more" underneath the video. I have two links: one for the cake in the video and one for my cakeculator, which you can choose the cake size you need
I remember finding my chiffon cakes so dry all the time and then I started generously sprinkling each layer with syrup or lightly sweetened milk, an voila, perfect moist cakes
I need to experiment with more syrups - the milk one sounds so good ☺️
@@Sugarologie it goes well with the whipped cream. Make sure to flavor the syrup/milk, it makes a huge difference :)
That's cheating.

If I have one 7 in pan 3 in tall, can I multiply the single layer recipe by 1.5 and bake in one pan so I can slice three layers from it?
Love love love! Can these cakes be made ahead of time and freeze?
They should freeze well - wrap it airtight so moisture can’t get in or out but not so tight it deforms the cake - then some ppl like to do foil for storage longer than a week and I put mine in freezer zip bags 👍🏼
@@Sugarologie thank you! I absolutely love your channel
my most favorite cake ever is most def a chocolate chiffon cake, its literally so delicious!
Would this cake be good for stacking? Like for a 3 tier wedding cake (8", 6" and 4"). I'm concerned if it's stable enough (yes I'd be using dowels to support the tiers). I intend to use whipped ganache for filling. Comments?
Can i use half butter and half vegetable oil?
Have u tried using cake strips on the outside of the pans?
Hi! I've been wanting to make this cake with a semi-naked design. Most decorating videos say to freeze the cake so, was wondering if you could freeze this cake or not.
I’ve made this cake 2 times following you exact instructions but I only get 2 layers not 4 but the cake itself is spongy and taste great I also used an 8 inch round pan but my cake never rose like your
The weirdest part about it is that my cake had a dome but they never collapsed
This is exactly what I needed, thank you! Quick question, can I substitute the milk for buttermilk? I like the flavor.
What is your recipe for sugar syrup. I love your cakes and all the videos
It’s just 1 part liquid to 1 part sugar :)
Can I use all purpose flour I don’t have cane flour in my area ? Thanks
Amazing recipe! I’ll definitely be trying this out today. However, I have 9 inch pans, so what should the baking time be? Thanks ❤
I’ve never tried 9 inch pans but it will take less time since the cakes will be thinner - be sure to watch the surface like I do in my vid to make sure it’s done :)
@@Sugarologie okay, thank you 😊
Your cake is gorg! How come my bake was sliding off and I had to use dowels to hv them straighten up? And i only had 2 layers. 😓 My cake had a chance to cool overnight.
Could I use this recipe for tres leches ?
Ok I've got to try this. I lived for 2 years I S. Korea and I miss their cakes. I read that the recipe is in the video and I watch it but I don't see the amounts of what to put in. I'm so missing something help
What is the ideal internal temp of the cake at the perfect doneness?
Ahh!!! Something I have science info on! So! The cakes found in Chinese/Korean/Japanese etc bakeries is not typically available in the US/Canada to the regular consumer, you can buy it but you have to know to look for it. A common brand name is Super Violet.
Why is this special? The flour is made of! It's yes, your standard soft white wheat low protein flour found in most cake flours at about 8-9% protein, BUT the secret is it contains a portion of Club Wheat flour! It's believed to be a native wheat species of the America's, and it's very very soft and has a protein content of about 4-6%! Starch only works so well as a replacement for protein because of how it gels etc. The flour that East Asian markets buy (and the EA bakeries) is called Western White flour with approximately 10-20% of its contents being White Club Wheat mixed with you're standard White Cake Flour. That's why in the US Canada etc our chiffon type cakes almost never come out right or the same, is that flour.
Also please note i found this information a few years ago regarding protien content of the flours, it may have changed over that time, but in essence Club Wheat is lower protien then more standard Soft Winter White which is typically used for low protein cake flour that isn't bleached, and lower protien than standard bleached cake flour, and is mixed with either the unbleached or bleached cake flour for lower softer gluten content.
Can I used this recipe for a semi naked wedding cake? If not, do you have a suggestion?
Aloha, wondered what do you think about baking with a water bath?
Hi what can i use instead of cake flour?
Can this be used on layred and tall cakes?
When you use the Cakeculator - was this a 2 layer cake?
can I make this in cupcake version??
Can this cake be baked in aluminum non stick pans if I don’t grease them?
Yes - def don’t grease the sides but you’ll need parchment paper or grease on the bottoms :)
How many 6 inch can I get from this recipe? Please answer
Hi, the cake looks great! Can I ask what is the recipe for the honey whipped cream or should we replace the grams of sugar with honey? Also I’d really love to add the mango but will it be too dry?
It’s right here: www.sugarologie.com/recipes/vanilla-chiffon-with-mangoes-and-balsamic-strawberries
Oh the mango is great - don’t get me wrong but but texture wise I was being really nitpicky. I just did this cake again with all mango and it was fantastic
Great recipe!! What would happen if I reduced de amount of sugar that goes into the dry ingredients but not the amount that goes into the meringue? Would it affect the final result badly? Thanks!!
Also, could I bake it all in one pan? Would the temperature of the oven have to reduce and the time of baking extend? 🍰
So the cake may be a tad drier. Sugar is a liquid ingredient and contributes moisture to the cake - you can start with a little at first, like 10% and work your way down if you like.
Yes theoretically you could but you’d have to be careful, the temp may need to be reduced bc the outside of the pan will cook faster than the interior and may over cook/brown faster. It’s a fine balance that I’ve figured out for the pans in my Cakeculator but deeper cakes/pans require a bit of experimentation
@@Sugarologie excellent!! Thank you so much for your reply!
What can we use if we don't have access to cake flour?
Does anyone know if chiffon cakes freeze well? Does the texture change after it's been thawed out?
Not at all. I am a baker and always freeze the chiffon cakes. It’s absolutely fine when thawed.
Girl. You giving alton brown a run for his money :)
You recipe says 2/3 cups water. However in your video you used milk. Do I substitute the water with milk in the recipe? Thanks.
You can use either, but the recipe on my blog will always have my latest recipe. I found that using milk adds extra proteins to the cake, making just the slightest bit tougher, whereas water will give you a fluffier result. Both work great though :)
I just made my first chiffon cake with this recipe and even after letting it cook for the full recommend 35 minutes and watching them deflate they still pulled away from the pan. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Should I be leaving them in even longer?
If it's the first time making this recipe, it's probably just a tad underbaked. This happens to me when I alter or come up with new chiffon cakes, and the ingredients change the amount of heat transfer. This is my standard chiffon, so what happens for me is that the cake rises a tad higher than my 2-inch pan with a rounded surface. Then it shrinks down a little to the level of the pan. The top will be slightly toasty, and sometimes, if I overbake it just a tad, the sides will *just* start to pull away from the sides, but are still attached and kinda look like cobwebs. Then, when my time is done (about 35 mins for my oven), I take the pan out and place it on a rack. The cake will then level completely to a flat surface.
So, for next time, just bake a little longer. Sometimes, just 3-5 more minutes will do, but it really depends on your oven. Do you have an internal oven thermometer? Those help me a ton. And for the current cake, it's still delicious. I always serve them anyway. :) They'll just be a little concave on the sides near the top.
@@Sugarologiethank you so much for the in-depth answer! I just got an oven thermometer a couple of days ago and it seems my oven is cooler than the display temperature so I’ll give it another attempt and leave it in a tad longer. I’m also glad to know I don’t have to wait for it to be perfectly level with the pan before taking it out
@@TheDragonCupcakei really hope you get a cake you love with this recipe. Good luck! 💕
Huummm question you say in your calculator that for an 8 in 2 pan that it requires 2/3 cup of milk or 148g . Is it possible that 2/3 cup of milk would be closer to 160ml thus 160g for the milk? Sorry another terrible geek here 🤪. Ohh and huge thank you for your scientific approach to pastry👍
Ah no worries - I’m glad that you asked bc I wouldn’t want there to be mistakes :) So I go by King Arthur Flour’s Ingredient weight chart - for milk, it’s 1 cup = 8 oz (weight) = 227g, so 2/3 cups = 227*.67 = 152g, which I’m off by a few grams. But yeah those are the numbers I use for calculating my conversions. And hey geek out any time here - you’re in good company 😬
Thks for the info , in that case were you measuring by volume? Also I did validate on the dairy institute it seems milk is closer to 1.04g/ml, just fyi 😃. The weight King Arthur provides u is less than water and closer to veggie oil. Again just fyi. Huge thks again for the answer I’ll try this always wanted to do a chiffon, and my first try was ok but left perfectible
Hummm sorry woke up with another question. Could we consider replacing milk with some fresh orange juice and zest for a citrusy chiffon?
@@patrickrioux6349 So I'm looking at the USDA site now and they're stating it's ~243-246 per cup. Wow King Arthur is so accurate with their flour measurements that it's strange as to where they got their 226 from. So I bake almost exclusively by weight (g) except for teaspoons and things like that - so my recipes baked in grams are precise. I'm going to have to look into it the differences though - thanks for letting me know! :)
@@patrickrioux6349 I think it should work - OJ will supply a bit of acid and the zest will provide the flavor essences from orange. Let me know if you try it!
Have you done vegan chiffon?
I would love to do vegan cakes at some point - but I haven't studied the ingredients enough to come up with something worthwhile :)
…oh also congrats on reaching 50,000 subs…!
300k subs now😱
@ I see, you’ve come a long way since you started…congrats on being in the triple hundred thousands too…!
…I can’t recall what your channel name was before you changed it to Sugarology…cheering for you!
Is there a recipe for this? Like the actual measurements for the chiffon cake...
The chiffon cakes on this video don't seem to follow the same recipe in your calculator. The cakes look too light for the amount of flour used in your calculator.
You should make a matcha chiffon cake!
Fun experiment! My brother is a baker and I think he would find this so interesting. I may make this for his birthday.
What was it that you placed on top?
So the top were mango slices that I wrapped into flowers, strawberries cut in half and a flower from my garden - it's an edible kind called sweet alyssum 🌸
I can't seem to find the recipe. It's nowhere in the video. Please help
your written recipe states water instead of milk
Hello! I'm having a problem with my chiffons...I've already baked it 6 times and they still don't come out perfect. They usually collapse on me after I put them upside down. When I take them from the pan there's a concave at the bottom. And all of them have this layer of unbaked batter at the bottom. I do wait until it deflates before removing them. The sides are even becoming too brown and dry, and I left it in for 50mins. Don't know what else to try, any help is appreciated!
It's a great recipe and very well explained. But when following the recipe in the cakeulator, #2 tells you to grease and flour the pan. Then #3 says to not do it. Maybe just don't put in #2 it seems kind of confusing.
Ah, I see. Sorry about that... I did a big migration of my recipes to a new Cakeculator, but some things didn't translate well. I'll try and fix that.
@@Sugarologie your the best. Also ment to ask about flavors. I am trying to make a pineapple chiffon as well as a guava and a lime. Should I just sub the water for the juice? Hope its that easy.🤞
When I watch this video I don’t see the actual recipe. I also don’t find it or a link for it in the comments section below the video. So how can I get the recipe?
Hi Clairressa - you may have to click "show more" underneath the video. I have two links: one for the cake in the video and one for my cakeculator, which you can choose the cake size you need
@@Sugarologie I did look under shoe more…didn’t find it…I’ll try to calculator…
No vanilla in the cake?
I am having a hard time searching your recipe here...please write the recipe in this description portion...
