Blueberry Chiffon Cake | Blueberry Sponge Cake | Bake and Toss

Today I'm here to show you how to bake this all-natural Perfect Blueberry Chiffon Chiffon. It's an ultra cotton soft blueberry chiffon cake that is loaded with goodness of blueberries. In order to make this cake, I've chosen to cook blueberries to reduce their water content. Through cooking, I have reduced blueberries into jam-like compote. Only the liquid from the blueberry sauce is strained and used to make the cake batter. The rest of the blueberry sauce can be used as a filling for Blueberry Cream Cake.

Tips and Notes:
1. Beat your egg whites to stiff peaks - Since the meringue is the main leavening agent in this cake, it is really important to take the time to beat your egg whites to stiff peaks to ensure your cake has a nice rise and fluffy texture. Once your egg whites reach stiff peaks (a tip that points straight) STOP. You don’t want to over-beat your egg whites. They could possibly break the meringue and will be harder to fold later.
2. Do not let the meringue hang out too long after it is whipped to the right consistency. The longer the meringue is left out, the faster it looses its consistency. That is it will deflate and separate. So once you prepare the meringue, fold it immediately into the rest of the ingredients and bake the cake as soon as possible for perfect results.
3. Fold in stages - Start by folding in only 1/3 of the meringue into your egg yolk batter to lighten the density of the batter, making it easier to combine the rest. Be gentle so you maintain as much of the air bubbles as possible.
4. Use a loose bottom pan for baking Chiffon Cake. This is very important. Spring form and normal cake pans do not give that perfect finish and also it is very difficult to remove the cake after it bakes as we aren't greasing the cake pan. Loose bottom pans provide perfect air circulation after the cake is inverted to cool down.
5. Do not grease your loose bottom pan - The batter needs to be able to stick to the sides of the pan to help it rise to its maximum height.
6. Cool upside down - As soon as you remove it from the oven, flip the cake over and cool it upside down in the pan to prevent it from collapsing. The reason is the structure of the cake crumb is not stable until it’s completely cooled. Flip it over two glasses like I did.
7. Cake flour - It’s best to use cake flour for the most tender and soft chiffon cake. Cake flour is bleached and has very low protein content. If you cannot find cake flour, simply check the ingredient list on the flour package. If it is between 3-5g you can use it to bake chiffon cake. Some brands do not label them as cake flour. At times they are called as pastry flour but remember to check the protein content.
8. If you are using large eggs, weigh them prior to use. Meringue to flour ratio needs to be correct.
9. Do not over fill the cake pan full. Leave a gap of 3cm above so that the cake can rise to fit the cake pan.

Can I use all purpose flour instead of cake flour?

[@BakeandToss]

Hi Deepa! Chiffon cakes uses cake flour because it makes it light and fluffy. If you are using all purpose flour, I suggest you replace 2 teaspoon of flour with corn flour. This will make the cake lighter. Hope this information helps you.
