I like that when you don't like something (such as a cake design), you go back to change it and it comes out looking better. That's not something I see in a lot of cake-making videos. It's awesome, so thank you!

+LilNaruto9tails thank you

[@tonicasteel4641]

These are the best directions I've ever seen! I had never heard of Ube, but I have a friend who is from the Philippines, and you are the first one who explained the recipe in a way that made me feel I could actually make it for her. Thanks! I really think she will appreciate it. :-)

I tried your ube cake and it's really good. I just used to change or replaced some ingredients I make my own halaya and it comes out really good. I love it, I did not enrolled in baking lessons, I'm just watching here at KZbin and I like your version. Thank you!

[@SailorBarsoom]

Thank you for this video. I might try making this for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I like to do something different each year, and bring things my family likely hasn't had before. Usually people like what I bring (the lemonade pies were a hit), sometimes it's more hit and miss (some people loved the marshmallow pies, but some just couldn't stand them). This ube chiffon cake looks like it would be well-liked by everybody. Yes, I think I will.

@@mysweetambitions Hi! I finally got the time to make this when I got my hands on ube flavoring. Sadly, I don't know what happened but it doesn't taste that good as I expected. I made the cake only without the icing. The cake taste bland. 😑 Do you have any advice? I really wanted to make it perfect next time.

[@JZiELLEV]

It looks good but it needs more stuffings and better decor cuz your decor is more for the month of December holidays (we don't celebrate christmas) - the sample you showed here has a really nice and simple floral decor which would have made your ube cake look amazing. I'm gonna see if I could use a white fondant instead of the ol' icing and something pastel inspired fondant decor since I'm planning to bake it for my princess who's turning 21. She wanted me to use tapioca pudding as the cake stuffing and don't think I'll be doing that. Possibly white chocolate or vanilla cream instead. ***If you have any better idea for the stuffing besides the one you used and mentioned here in the video, I would really appreciate it if you can share them with me. As long as it's nothing chocolate, toffee or caramel. Thanks and Shalom. 💖JZiELLE👩🏻

Can I use this type of flour in your marble chiffon cake recipe? If so do I have to put baking powder as well? Thanks

I tried this ube chiffon cake but it's kinda dense. Is it really 2 1/2 cups of cake flour? because your mocha chiffon cake is perfect. cake is super fluffy and moist

Hi! I have tried some of your recipes and they taste so good! Thank you so much for sharing. By the way, do you have a particular site/reference that you follow when you convert cups to grams or vice versa? I measure ingredients through grams, though I searched for cups to grams conversion. However, there are a lot of references and differences with regards to the conversion. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

Can I use a pan with a removable bottom. That’s the only pan I got. Will it affect the cake if I turn it upside down. My problem also with chiffon is the top will not come out dry but rather so moist it detached when I turn it over. Yes it is cooked already

[@mysweetambitions]

You can use you pan , its ok if you turn it upside down. Do not grease the pan but male sure to put baking paper at the bottom.

[@jermieelcullada7318]

Hi, I Tried your recipe last night but I was a little disappointed when It turned out flat after cooling down. I am planning to do it another try today for my birthday dinner tonight. Please let me know the exact procedure not to shrink the cake. I am using a 9" round aluminum pans. And I am wondering if I could get the complete procedure in writing so I could just read. I am not good of following the steps by just listening and watching on this video while mixing the ingredients. It keeps me pausing and replaying the video that took me forever to finish the mixing. I am so desperate to make it perfectly well. Thanks

[@mysweetambitions]

+Jermie Elcullada it is important that you do not over mix your batter, make sure that it is baked ok so it does not shrink, I use 8x3 so my cake is higher than yours. Pre heat your oven before you start mixing the cake batter, I don't have a written recipe

My Sweet Ambitions i mean should I bake one by one or bake it together?( the 2 8inch cake pan)

[@mysweetambitions]

you should bake it together, chiffon batter does not do well sitting out, once you've done mixing the batter it needs to bake straightaway or else the air from the meringue will slowly burst and you will end up with a flat cake

hi..can i use all purpose flour instead of cake flour? and can i use this recipe for cupcake? thank you :)

[@mysweetambitions]

MM B you can use all purpose flour but it might be a little denser, is it because you cannot buy cake flour ? You can make your own if you want too, buy tweaking the flour a little bit, for every cup of flour take out 3 tablespoon and replace it with 3 tbsp of cornstarch or cornflour sift it 5x and you have a cake flour. Hope this helps.
