Strawberry Fruit Tea Chiffon Cake




This strawberry tea chiffon cake has the flavor of refreshing fruit tea and is moist, tender, and light with a fluffy texture. I also used matcha tea powder for this chiffon cake as I wanted to clear up the cupboard. You can use the cake flour instead for the recipe if you have no green tea on hand.

The high oil and egg content creates a very moist cake, and as oil is liquid even at cooler temperatures, chiffon cakes do not tend to harden or dry out as traditional butter cakes might. This makes them better-suited than many cakes to filling or frosting with ingredients that need to be refrigerated or frozen, such as pastry cream or ice cream. Chiffon cakes tend to be lower in saturated fat than butter cakes, potentially making them healthier than their butter-heavy counterparts. The lack of butter, however, means that chiffon cakes lack much of the rich flavor of butter cakes, and hence they are typically served accompanied with flavorful sauces or other accompaniments, such as chocolate or fruit fillings.

Egg Yolk Batter
Meringue
  • 210 g All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 15 g Matcha tea powder (optional)
  • 190 ml Strawberry fruit tea
  • 20 g White sugar
  • 100 ml Salad oil
  • 5 Egg yolks
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 6 Egg whites
  • 1/3 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 package / 8 g Vanilla sugar
  • 3/4 cup White sugar

  1. Sift flour, matcha tea powder and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Beat together 20 grams of sugar and strawberry-scented tea until blended and sugar has completely dissolved. Whisk in the salad oil until emulsified. Add in sifted flour mixture and mix until just blended. Add in one whole egg and egg yolks. Combine all the ingredients until you obtain a smooth batter.
  2. Beat egg whites with salt and lemon juice over low speed until frothy and foamy. Gradually add in sugar in 3 portions, increase speed and beat until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold 1/3 of egg white mixture into flour mixture to lighten it and then another one third, finally fold the mixture with the remaining whites. Make sure no white streaks remain.
  3. Pour into a 26-cm ungreased tube pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 75 minutes until done in the center of 155C/310F oven. Remove pan from oven and immediately turn upside down on the neck of a glass bottle to cool for at least 1 hour. Unmold after it's thoroughly cool.

I'm so hungry looking at this. Must give it a try. I notice that you don't use cream of tartar in your egg white mixture. Also can I omit the vanilla sugar if it's not available?

Angie your cake is scrumptious. I have never made a chiffon cake before although I have made olive oil based cakes lots of times. Would it be considered as a chiffon cake?

Shirley @ Kokken69 11/1/10 12:28

I have a soft spot for chiffon cake. Your latest creation looks really soft and cottony! I can imagine how good it would be with a dollop of fresh vanilla flavoured fresh cream or vanilla ice cream!

just from the picture, I can imagine this is a very good chiffon. I like your chiffon pan, mine just plain one, never see this kind of pan here, is this a non-stick baking pan?

Edith 11/1/10 14:55

oh gosh, this looks so soft and fluffy. My recent attempt at chiffon was a disaster. Don't know why it collapsed after cooled.

Any advice what I shouldn't do? Thanks.

Angie's Recipes 11/1/10 15:25

Thank you ALL for the replies! :-)
@Cheah: If vanilla sugar is not available, try the vanilla extract in the egg yolks batter or the cake might smell too eggy.
@Ivy: A chiffon cake is usually made with vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. Chiffon cakes achieve a fluffy texture by beating egg whites until stiff, and folding them into the cake batter before baking.
@Trissa:The liquid part of the recipe can be replaced with the morning coffee left-over and leave out the matcha powder.

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 11/1/10 15:40

@edith: The reason a chiffon collapsed might be
1. Too much liquid
2. The meringue is not whipped to the stiff
3. Other ingredients are too heavy, so they fell down to the bottom during the baking
4. Baking temperature is too low
5. Inappropriate folding
6. Cake is not cooked through

jane 27/1/10 06:05

your chiffon cake looks awesomely delicious. I'm gonna try this for sure! I have a question. Is matcha tea= green tea powder? and where can I buy a strawberry fruit tea? is it available in all stores? if I have none of these is there any substitute?

Or if I'm gonna make a mocha chiffon cake? How much coffee should I use and emit on this recipe?
Thanks so much Angie for sharing your talent and recipes. Its really so much help to a newbie like me. God bless.

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 27/1/10 09:55

@ jane: Yes, it's green tea powder. The strawberry tea shall be available in any supermarkets, and actually any other flavours will do too. If you really can't find any fruit flavour, then just use plain Earl Grey tea.
If you want to make a mocha chiffon, the liquid part (190 ml fruit tea) can be substituted with coffee. You might have noticed that I used AP flour in the recipe, which means it absorbs more liquid than cake flour, so I would suggest to cut down the liquid quantity to 170 ml if you prefer lower protein flour.

jane 28/1/10 23:52

Thanks Angie! I'll definitely try this and give you update what it turns out.=) I'm really craving for this! hihi.
