My dreamy ube chiffon + cream cheese frosting | Cakeculator Bakes

[@Anonymous-su4tc]

Please do a Coconut Pandan cake. I was first introduced to this cake from a Vietnamese bakery where my family used to buy Bahn Mi. This bakery sold Coconut Pandan cake slices also filled with Macapuno Coconut strips. It's so delicious but my American friend's were always weirded out by the green color 😂

[@Secondhelix]

Can I request an experiment like Adam Ragusea's on if folding is really necessary in these cakes? Especially when using low-protein flour, I don't know how much of an issue it would actually be. Also, love your videos! I just made your sprinkles 2.0 cake and it was fantastic!

[@Sugarologie]

Oh Adam is fantastic. I haven't seen that video! I'll have to take a look :)

[@aritin5259]

Same thoughts! I’ve fully switched to a hand whisk now when folding chiffon because I find it takes me faster and more even results, without compromising texture much. I haven’t compared it side by side though

[@aali07]

I came across your channel a few days ago and as a fellow academic nerd I appreciate and thoroughly enjoy your approach to baking! I've recently gotten back into baking (and taking it more serious) after finishing my postgrad studies. Learning about the science of baking just makes this hobby that much more enjoyable! Sending my love from South Africa 💞

[@marcyoliver3439]

Thank you for making such a clear, concise, step by step, excellent video! Your baking knowledge has blessed me immensely and am looking forward to trying one of your recipes one day… 😊

[@scobeymeister1]

Found your channel through the response you made to How To Cook That, and ever since, I am consistently blown away by the thoroughness of these videos. Love to see such a curious and rigorous scientific eye turned to baking - everything you make is so pretty but I'm confident it's also consistent and delicious! Never had much of a sweet tooth but I think I'll have to try this one out ❤ Edit: I don't do much whipping so I don't have cream of tartar on hand, but I do keep some citric acid powder, for canning and cleaning and such. How much would I want to use of that?

[@mistedpine]

After visiting the Philippines and trying ube ensaymada I became OBSESSED with ube! Thank you for linking the documentary - ube is definitely a unifying symbol and I hope that filipino food becomes part of the food conversation starting with linking ube to the Philippines.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

Shout out to everyone that recommended that you use macapuno as the filling of your cake. I had never heard of it before. I enjoyed learning about it and seeing it being used.

[@TemperanceBones]

I just made this recipe. I used AP flour since I did not have cake flour and I just increase the amount of cornstarch and it turned out well. The color and flavor of ube depends on the brand that you will use. I have tried your whipped cream cheese frosting before but in this recipe I just used a regular Whipping Cream but my filling is also Ube filling/paste which is premade since it is hard to make one from the scratch. I topped my cake with Macapuno candies. As a Filipino, this recipe is approved! Super love it.

[@JustineCarissa]

It’s interesting to see Ube becoming more popular now. When I was younger people thought it was weird to see a purple cake when offered. But now Ube is starting to be in western food. So people are accepting it.

[@Sugarologie]

I really think ube flavor can be used in all places where vanilla extract is added because it's as subtle and beautiful. I wish companies also had colorless versions for this use. I watched a documentary on ube and I hope as it grows, the Filipino government realizes what a wonderful export crop this can be and supports the local/indigenous farmers accordingly.

[@queendyta]

That's true, I've been doing this cake for some time, and my family loves it

[@funrocko]

I found you through KZbin shorts. Your content is amazing. Thank you for all that you do. I’ve learned so much about the science behind baking from you

@@Kyrridwen420 no I enjoy sugarologie and her work, the compliment is genuine. I can be both shady towards other creators who put their peers down and still give props where it’s due - if you used any amount of critical thinking you would’ve been able to comprehend that and saved both of us a comment. I don’t know why you think we will “turn on sugarologie” because we call out Anne for being shady and misrepresenting her work, but please keep giving us all your insightful advice Ms. five subscribers; im sure your words of wisdom and generously free consultations will prove invaluable seeing as you’re sooo experienced and enlightened 💀💀💀💀

[@starsINSPACE]

Purple is my favorite color and this cake is just sublime to look at; I literally want to have the cake (to look at) but also eat it too! Also I love that the purple 💜 speaks to its lovely ube ingredient.

[@cydkriletich6538]

That not only looks delicious, but is one of the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever seen. Purple!! Gorgeous!

[@bakachocorobo-kun4728]

Would you consider making a strawberry chiffon cake (where the cake itself is actually strawberry flavored)? Also, I used your Swiss meringue recipe and it turned out great for the Mother’s Day cake I made. Thank you for your recipes.

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I 2nd this request. It would be awesome. I make a strawberry sponge that uses a reduced strawberry puree. By the time you've reduced the puree to the measurement needed it looks like a paste. I think for a Chiffon that would be too heavy but then again I'm not a baking genius like our gal here so who knows. 🤞 she's able to come up with a recipe for us... 😋

[@hisnameispan]

@@tammiemartinez6485 Stella Parks has an interesting take on a strawberry-flavoured cake. she processes freeze-dried strawberries with the flour in a food processor which she says gives a very intense strawberry flavour without sacrificing the crumb. the only issue is, this method works with a bleached flour and this one's unfortunately unavailable where I live. maybe Sugarologie can dive into the science of it and try make the recipe a bit more accessible.

[@AlthaeaMedea]

I would love to see how to adapt these chiffon cake recipes to incorporate actual fruit. Strawberry sounds amazing! (I mean I could just do the vanilla one and add food flavouring, but I'd love to be able to include a purée of a fruit or actual pieces.

[@beadgaldesigns]

I've made a strawberry angelfood cake by incorporating ground freeze dried strawberries. It works out great. I'd imagine something like this would work as well for chifon cake.

Ooooh soooooo nice! I really need to go to sleep, it's 00:40 AM over here. But your video's make me so happy with all the science behind it. Thank you!! 🎉🤗 have a nice day!

[@marinasfroot3673]

I love your channel! I love how you really explore the science and the "why's" about baking and tips and tricks that help take things to the next level. I wonder if this is too much of an undertaking, but given your cake calculator and such, is there any way you could experiment with vegan and plant-based alternatives to such things like egg whites and egg yolks? Things like cream cheese, which have vegan duplicates that no doubt have the same stabilization properties since they must use hydrocolloid suspensions as well, and whipped coconut cream or plant cream (brands like Country Crock and Silk now have whipping cream alternatives that whip up just like typical heavy cream) are easy enough to swap out to make a vegan version of your frosting. Egg whites have a plant alternative in aquafaba (the water in cans of chickpeas) due to them containing albumins and globulins, as well as starches and proteins that help them whip up like egg whites do. However, it's not an exact 1-to-1 substitution, and for egg yolks, there's even less commonly known substitutions for adding what I guess is necessary protein and emulsification properties to the cake as needed. In this recipe, substitutions to make it plant based could be: Aquafaba for Egg Whites Coconut Cream for Whipped Cream Vegan Cream Cheese Aside from that, if adapting your cakeculator for the addition of vegan and plantbased equivalents, could you make a standalone vegan cake recipe given your knowledge and tricks for maximizing texture and flavor? Amazing channel!

[@Sugarologie]

Nothing humbles me faster than trying to create vegan recipes :) I usually do a fair amount of testing and research before releasing recipes and I have some that are almost ready, but I wouldn't say they're up to my standard yet. I promise you that I am working on them though.

[@marinasfroot3673]

@@Sugarologie 😄 Thanks for the reply! Vegan recipes really are hard for baking, especially as a standalone baker without access to fancy machinery or commercial food additives like artificial stabilizers, so it must be hard! Can't wait for whatever you're trying out though! I'm currently trying to make your caramelized carrot cake vegan, but it's not turning out so well- a little too dense!

[@dreadfairy6963]

​@@marinasfroot3673 omg I was going to attempt to make that carrot cake vegan too! My daughter wants carrot cake for her birthday coming up in 2 weeks and we both have dairy/soy intolerance. The eggs will be the hardest to replace so I was going to prolly keep them and sub out just the Dairy ingredients

It would be amazing if you could do a hummingbird cake recipe. Also dairy-free frosting? It is so frustrating that like many Asians, I have a milk allergy and cakes almost always have dairy all across Asia and many of us just suffer with the aftereffects

[@user-is3hc2hn6i]

I made this cake a few days ago! I could not get macapuno so I left it out. It was delicious but actually quite sweet - so sweet that I had to swerve from my original plan to make the whipped cream cheese frosting, and make whipped cream with a little bit of cream cheese instead. Next time I think I'll try a pandan variant and reduce the sugar a little bit. I imagine this cake will be good with whipped coconut cream frosting too!

[@luvleona]

overall how much sugar would you recommend to cut?

[@user-is3hc2hn6i]

[@tammiemartinez6485]

Today was my introduction into Durian. I had the show Chopped recorded. In their final basket they had to use it. Hearing one chef say it's one of the worst fruits he's ever had really intrigued me. I'm still not sure as to what the flavor is, lol (I was only able to find 1 article on it) but I would love to know. If you don't mind sharing that is. Thanks in advance...

[@antonc81]

@@tammiemartinez6485 it’s sweet with a creamy texture and the flavour is something like a mix of caramel, coffee and rotten onion or a pungent washed rind cheese. If you’re interested in trying it I’d start with Asian durian flavored products like ice-creams or cakes, then if you learn to like that move on to cakes or pastries containing some of the flesh.. then if that’s enjoyable try a puff pastry with more flesh in it and then move onto the raw fruit (Musang King from Malaysia is considered a particularly prized varietal). Starting with a piece of the raw fruit with an unadapted palate might just be too much of a shock to the system lol.

This is perfect timing -- I pulled up this recipe on your Cakeculator earlier this week to make for the weekend! Can I request a breakdown/the science behind gluten free flours?? I keep a bunch of gluten free flours in my pantry to experiment with proportions trying to get the right texture and flavor when doing replacements in a recipe. Sometimes it works out and I write down the weight proportions hoping to use it again, but I'd love to understand the why behind it so I'm not so wasteful with the experimenting!
