[@eddy6243]

Hi Kurt. I’m a big fan. Can I bake the cake in 3 _ 9” round pan instead? I’m curious why you used jelly roll pan. I plan to try this recipe soon. Thank you for sharing your videos! Much appreciated.

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Eddy - Yes, you can absolutely use round cake pans for the ube chiffon. The reason I used the rectangular jelly roll baking sheets, then cut the chiffon with the 9" cake ring after cooling, is so that the chiffon rounds are more similar in size to the 9" flan custard rounds. When you use round cake pans, the round chiffon cakes might shrink a little when cooling. But it will still taste delicious! Hope this helps!

[@eddy6243]

Thanks Kurt! I now understand why you used jelly roll pan. It just makes sense. Though if I use 9” pan, I can cover the shrinkage with frosting. I will try it. Thanks! You’re awesome ❤️

[@emilcalumpit6318]

Thanks Kurt following your recipes found it very accurate

[@crazeyyfatbulous1811]

hi si kurt ,thank you for sharing again your delicious cake grabeh akaka takam po 😃😃 .may i ask lng po if until when po kaya mag meltdown ang frosting na ginamit niok?asi i just wondering po if hindi ba siya malusaw along delivery process lets say half of hour? pwde po b gumamit ng ibang frosting?

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hello - glad you like our recipe video! Please let us know how your ube custard cake turns out 💜 Your question regarding stability of the frosting depends on climate and temperature. It will be fine regardless during winter / colder climates. During summer / hotter climates, I’d suggest keeping it cold in AC. You may also a more stable frosting like Italian buttercream. But it will make the cake heavier / alter the texture. Hope this helps! 😊

Hello - thanks for your comment. I haven’t personally used silicone molds for flan, but it should work. Hope this helps! 😊

[@DUCOGDUKZ]

Hi hello good evening 🤗💖 i'm Keann from Philippines i wanted to ask if i can bake the ube cake into a 8 inch round pan instead of using jelly pan?

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hello Keann, thanks for your comment! Yes, you can use a 8” round pan instead of the jelly roll pan. We used a rectangular pan and cut out circles to create straight edges. The edges might shrink a bit when baking with a round pan, so the cake edges won’t be as straight and flush with the flan layers, but it will still look great and taste delicious! Lots of love from NYC ❤️

[@urgentcarediagnosticcenter6005]

Hello Chef! New subscriber here! What heavy cream do you use for frosting, dairy or non-dairy? Is the heavy cream different from whipping cream? Thank you very much for sharing your recipes and more power to you and your hubby! 🥰🥰🥰

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hello - thanks for subscribing! We use dairy. Whipping cream, evaporated milk, or Nestle all-purpose cream cannot be used as a substitute for heavy cream, as it doesn’t have a high enough fat content. Heavy cream has a higher fat content (about 35-40% fat content), which is needed for the frosting to whip into stiff peaks and remain stable at room temperature. If the cream you're using has lower than 35-40% fat, it will not form stiff peaks. Make sure you're using cold "heavy cream" - also called "thick cream" in some countries. Hope this helps! :)

[@urgentcarediagnosticcenter6005]

@@cookingwithkurt Thank you for your response but if you may allow, i have another question, i used Emborg whipping cream which has 35.1% fat, but it did not form into stiff peak, nag curdle po sya, what seems to be the problem? The label says it is a European dairy cream.

Paano pag walang ube halaya po master

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Jean - if ube halaya is not available, you can substitute it with ube powder that’s been reconstituted with water per packet instructions into an ube paste and using an equivalent amount of that paste. Or you can just leave out the ube halaya and rely on the ube extract for the ube flavor. Hope this helps! 😊
