Classic Chiffon Cake Recipe - a baking must-have! | Cupcake Jemma

[@anameows]

I would love to see an orange chiffon cake! Nice and bright for summer :)

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Thanks so much Jemma! I remember Matty made a chocolate chiffon cake in the Bake Off final and Paul Hollywood said it was one of the best chocolate cakes he's ever had... Would love to see a super chocolaty chiffon cake!

[@CupcakeJemma]

It’s on my hit list x

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

@@CupcakeJemma thank you!

I live in Singapore and chiffon cake has always been a staple in our cake culture. The most popular flavour in the region will have to be pandan chiffon cake and orange chiffon cake. You can either extract the flavour from the leaves itself or get the flavouring. For the orange flavoured one, just add the zest and some orange juice. But personally, my favourite will have to be a strawberry chiffon cake, where reduced strawberry purée is mixed into the batter before folding the meringue in. It gives it an extremely nice deep pink colour.

[@CupcakeJemma]

Ooh this sound really good. I’ll have to give it a go!

[@kathleenstoin671]

Chiffon cake originated in the United States in the 40s and 50s in the Betty Crocker cookbook.

[@calvinyip364]

I never seen a strawberry one. In Malaysia usually is pandan and orange flavour.

[@helenfranks5722]

Made this so many times and is always a winner! Sometimes alter flavour with grated citrus rind, but equally delicious on its own too!

[@stoneyblue603]

I love the basics ❤❤❤❤ There's a reason why they are basics 😊

[@mandy20252]

American here, love watching your videos! I was wondering if you could do a video on traditional tea desserts. Throwing a Mother’s Day tea for the ladies in my family and would love some ideas

[@kates7277]

Scones are a MUST! Also traditional are Battenberg Cake, lemon tarts, shortbread, thumbprint cookies, mini eclairs or cream puffs...

[@mandy20252]

[@byebicycle]

My absolute favourite is an earl grey chiffon cake! :D

[@lizbuckland4163]

I made a Pistachio Chiffon cake last year, using Sarancino pistachio paste. It was amazing! I made a pistachio white choc ganache which I whipped and then used a raspberry jam concentrate on the layers, topped with the ganache, then finished it off with an almond buttercream, with raspberry buttercream swirls on top and around the bottom. It was a lot of work and took me a good 2 and a half days to complete but I love using chiffon sponges as they are so soft and light and can go in the fridge without getting hard/dry like sponges made with butter. I just wish i was well enough to bake at the moment. I love watching different recipes for them though 🍰

[@CupcakeJemma]

This. Sounds. Incredible 💚💚💚

[@bdjayden]

That sounds INCREDIBLE! IF you are feeling up to it, could I reach out to you for your pistachio chiffon Recipe? I bake only chiffon but I don't know how to incorporate it into the cake. Not sure how much pistachio paste to use

[@crivensro]

Would love to see a chocolate chiffon cake please!

[@hayleysebbage9804]

Ooh a lemon one and a chocolate one would be fantastic 😊

[@CupcakeJemma]

I’m keen to try an chocolate one x

[@maryhiser3648]

My neighbor made me this a couple times for my birthday. She used lemon to flavor it. Absolutely delicious!

[@ritatteles]

Matcha or pandan flavour would be lovely!

[@mwtsang]

Love a good chiffon cake, great to see if you can add Pandan cake to your list Gemma!

[@imfromviwawa]

in Indonesia, pandan chiffon cakes are super popular. It's a very fragrant coconutty flavour and it's a really pretty green colour, I highly recommend you try it! You might be able to find pandan flavouring (or even the real pandan leaves) in an Asian supermarket

[@ismatfayyaz398]

Watching Jemma is so calming Been following on YT for years ❤ Much love ❤️

[@CupcakeJemma]

Aww thanks!

[@adamax08]

Great recipe, great video! I tried making chiffon with a normal cake tin once, with parchment paper at the bottom, but while cooling upside down the bottom released itself from the bottom of the tin and created this dome, which then destroyed the cake... That being said, I did a pandan chiffon once and it was really good!

[@nneomanwagbo2463]

Same happened to me. The cake fell out 😂

[@hnad108]

I do like your recipes and tried many many of ur recipes absolutely fabulous results I do bake a chiffon cake with cocoa powder Also a orange chiffon And a coffee chiffon

[@zombie0s]

Oooooh earl grey or matcha chiffon would be delightful 😊

[@FlameMirage]

I want to make an orange chiffon cake, it is one of my favourite cakes in the world, that my parents use to buy from the asian grocery store. I have been waiting for a recipe to try at home! :D

[@Ta.Sa.]

It does look so light! Reminds me a little of soufflé pancakes (fuwa fuwa) - would love if you could share a recipe of those too 🥞

[@sarahpurcell1109]

Love this, I'd love to see a chocolate or lemon 🍋 roulade 😊

[@beanie7547]

Traveling around Asia I had both a pandan and an orange blossom of sorts which were very yummy but you can’t go wrong with a chocolate or just the classic with strawberries and cream

[@CupcakeJemma]

I really want to try baking with pandan 💚

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

Shoooo Amazing Jemma many thanks stay bless with your family

[@sketchios5158]

Chiffon cake with orange zest🍊 is literally so simple yet the best 🤤

[@CupcakeJemma]

YES! So delicious 😍

[@angelaeunj]

I love chiffon cake!!! Great to see this your channel.❤ I made chocolate chiffon cake and lemon was very delicious for any occasion including my children’s birthday. I would love to see more other flavours with delicious decorations.

[@annedienduplessis1459]

I have baked this cake with orange juice and orange zest in the batter. Also delicious.

[@jonathanestrada9729]

This is also super popilar here in the Philippines. At home, it's the only cake i make because my family finds other cakes too dense. As for flavors, I've made a matcha chiffon with white chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream. I've also made ccarrot chiffon cake with cream cheese frosting. There's a popular deep-dish cake here called "crema de fruta" which is just chiffon layered with pastry cream, fruit slices (usually peaches, strawberries, mangoes, canned pineapple and a few maraschino cherries), and plain gelatin/apricot jam. It's basically tropical fruit salad as a cake!

[@CupcakeJemma]

That fruit salad cake sounds absolutely delicious! A summer sensation 😍

[@Oanjoexterminador]

I absolutely love this cake. Also love the angel food cake, made only with egg whites.

[@CupcakeJemma]

Lighter than air!

[@Viivaanaanaa]

Thank you, Jemma! I would love to see matcha green tea chiffon cake. :)

[@dondonf82]

That looks amazing!! Can't wait to give it a try!! Please please can I ask for old school recipes? Like cornflake tart, butterscotch tart, chocolate concrete etc? Thank you ❤

[@katewannenburgh820]

I'd love to try(& eat!)a lemon one🍋

[@achalasen2233]

A coconut chiffon cake would be nice! I made one once with a strawberry and lychee filling and whipped coconut cream in the middle :D

[@CupcakeJemma]

Sounds great! I would absolutely devour that cake 🤤

[@zuleykhaahmed4735]

There's a kind of traditional chiffon cake in my country, and that is pandan chiffon cake. I would love to see a cupcake Jemma twist on that lol. But other flavors are good too, like chocolate, cheese, lemon, the list goes on ...

[@CupcakeJemma]

So many people suggesting pandan! It’s such a great flavour. Xx

In Malaysia we always do pandan flavour , there’s orange too super yummy ! Matcha too it’s a canvas for all flavors😊

[@CupcakeJemma]

I love the flavour of pandan. I really want to try a pandan chiffon!

[@digiscream]

Slight twist on the classic, but...lemon and lime chiffon cake is one I've been meaning to try for a while - lime flavoured cake instead of the vanilla, and lemon frosting (or vice-versa, of course).

[@tcorazao]

Reminds me of my childhood!

[@susansmyth8028]

This looks yummy 😋

[@smileygirl6457]

Yummy I will be trying this one. Maybe you try making a caramel one.❤

[@annielam2483]

Looks yum! Just wonder can I substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter? 😎

[@CupcakeJemma]

I wouldn't recommend for this particular recipe!

[@stephenvalente3296]

Have made the Italian version called a Ciabella in Lemon and Orange, one coated in melted chocolate. Found a PME version of the tin on Amazon - £21.06 for the 8" model

[@irenemillangonzalez4075]

In spain is the base of a lot of cakes and we soak it on simple syrup to be extra decadent

[@marylynscarpone7049]

Hi Jemma. Can I use the sainsbury Taste the difference self raising flour with your recipe? I see other recipes asking for cake flour which isn’t obtainable here in Uk although it can be made using plain flour with cornflour! What I am asking is can sainbury’s substitute the cake flour? Thanks

[@berserkirclaws107]

I never made on but I made an Angel Food cake so I definitely will try this.

[@ngochang7786]

Jemma,do you think this Clifton cake is stable to be stack up to 6” high?

[@noorayesha3871]

Jemme love your recopes. Thank you. Can you please make croissant cookies thae Brookie makes? I couldn't find a tutorial or a recipe anywhere and you have the best cookie recipes

Adding orange flavor in Chiffon is what we usually do at home. You'll love it. 😉

We have a gas oven, I hate it! Would have to go to my Mum's to make this. Want to try it!

You should do a lemon chiffon cake. I made one for a friend’s cake testing using your lemon curd and buttercream recipe but I lost the recipe for the cake itself 😢

[@RubyMohamed-mn5cu]

Jemma pleeease make brownies doughnuts 🍩 with different topping❤❤❤❤

[@CupcakeJemma]

I don’t know what this is 🫣

Jemma can you give me the reference of your brownie pan please ? Thank you for this recipe !! 🥰✨

[@erickablackwell6020]

Lemon chiffon or chocolate?

Can you make egg-free/eggless cupcakes recipe 24 please, Jemma?❤

[@fur3lis3]

Coconut flavor!

[@theresaong4862]

Hi. You don’t have to put any paper liner in any pans if you’re going to bake a chiffon cake. FYI

[@CupcakeJemma]

I HIGHLY recommend you do if you aren’t using a loose bottomed pan. It sticks like a limpet 😥

[@theresaong4862]

@@CupcakeJemma yes It can. If you want a successful CHIFFON cake, Use any baking Aluminium pan without liner with the help of cranked palette knife or spatula. Just place your knife at the edge of the cake until it reaches the bottom and Slowly scrape the cake towards in the centre around it and flip your cake . 🎂 I’ve been using this technique a decade now and all my baking pans are not loose bottom🫰

[@justintee3291]

The texture is a bit rough. In the absence of cake flour, the addition of corn starch can help achieve a finer crumb.

[@melissarandle2191]

Could you incorporate raspberries in the sponge mixture?? X

[@CupcakeJemma]

I’m not sure. I feel like they would sink and then turn the sponge around them very soggy

[@greschelledent9502]

Pandan chiffon cake please x

[@freedomseekers100]

Passionfruit chiffon please!

[@CupcakeJemma]

😍🤤

[@pamelacalvento8024]

Is it okay if I use a pan without the feet just like yours? I only have the 2-piece. And I am using a convection countertop oven, any tips with the temperature?

[@CupcakeJemma]

For sure! Maybe just turn the tin upside down on a cooling rack so the top of the cake isn't sat on the work surface - it'll need room to cool down

[@pamelacalvento8024]

@@CupcakeJemma Thanks for your reply, Jemma! I have actually tried it and so far the best and foolproof chiffon recipe!

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

Still why not brush it with a little bit of butter or spray? As the texture outside is not really pretty?

[@CupcakeJemma]

The grease can cause the spring to collapse at the sides , in the same way that it would to meringue (especially as meringue is what give this cake its lift). So it’s not advisable. You can however lightly grease and line with paper x

[@tuhkathri9126]

Is this the same type of cake as a Taiwanese castella cake?

[@shwee1855]

Yeap, the mixing method is more or less the same. The main difference is the way it's baked. Castella cakes are baked using a water bath. Chiffon cakes are just baked the normal way.

[@hakanyagmur4470]

Could you please make the famous acai

What is the famous açai?

Hi Jemma, Did you know that there is a pandan flavour of chiffon 🍰 cake

[@CupcakeJemma]

I did and I want it!

[@Comptonisa]

Looking like it would need that cream

[@CupcakeJemma]

Anything is improved with cream imo

[@nancynelson5762]

I used to make an orange chiffon cake, but it started with a mix and I am trying to avoid those these days. So how about an orange chiffon?

[@CupcakeJemma]

Yum! I think citrus is always a good idea with this kind of cake 🎂

[@nancygonzalez3414]

Fruity cereal, maybe coffee inspired

[@shaimarashadurrahman736]

I was number 100 to thumbs up 😊

[@MuhammedPatel]

65g of milk? Not ml?

[@yashwanthsagiri854]

Both are same

[@imjuliewaters]

Oooh what about a caramel chiffon cake?

[@CupcakeJemma]

Hmm I think the caramel might have to come in as a topping there. It’s worth a try subbing a bit of the caster sugar with brown sugar but I think it would lose some of the air 🤔
