Known for its light, moist, tender texture and rich flavour, chiffon cakes are so versatile and are always made with oil, not butter. It gets its height and airy texture from whipped egg whites. The cake needs to be turned upside down immediately upon removing it from the oven as this keeps the cake from shrinking and losing its volume as it cools. To dress it up, you can pour a beetroot glaze over the top or decorate with buttercream frosting. I like to dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and it is great when served with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
On February 19, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all happiness and prosperity in the coming year of the SHEEP.
Beetroot Chia Seed Chiffon Cake
inspired by Ann's Chiffon Cakes| Yolk Batter | Meringue |
|---|---|
|
|
- Sift the flour twice into a mixing bowl. Add in chia seeds. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
- Beat beetroot juice, sunflower oil and NuStevia until well combined and emulsified. Add in flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in egg yolks and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- Combine white sugar, NuNaturals and cornstarch in a bowl. Beat the egg whites and lemon juice on medium-high speed until frothy. Gradually add in sugar stevia mixture and beat until stiff and glossy.
- Fold 1/3 of meringue into the egg yolk batter to lighten it up, then fold in the remaining meringue and fold until well combined.
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch/25-cm tube pan and bake on the lowest oven rack for about 70 minutes until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert baking pan and cool completely. Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan to remove the cake. Serve the cake with some whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired, or simply dust with some icing sugar.

I am envious when I see a lovely chiffon! I wish all my chiffons are successful but sad to say, they are not! Yours looks delectable! Gong Xi Fa Cai to you Angie:D
A wonderfully fluffy cake! This combination is fantastic and so original.
Cheers,
Rosa
Looks really lovely! Does beetroot juice give any flavor or just a bit of color?
@MedejaI don't taste any beetroot there, and it did give it a lovely pink colour before baking.
Perfectly done!
Your chiffon cake takes me back to my childhood. I don't believe I've ever tasted beetroot juice, but It looks delightful.
I came across your blog while looking for some cake recipes and liked a lot. How amazing! I will keep an eye out for all your recipes :)

It looks so tasty!
Your bakes always look so good and perfect! Happy Chinese New Year Eve!~
Con las semillas chía que bueno.
Ya sabes las semillas hay que molerlas o masticarlas bien, si no igual que entran salen sin hacer su función en el organismo ;-))
Un saludito
Happy CNY to you as well.
This cake looks delicious. Chiffon cakes always remind me of Asia. They are always so much lighter than American-style butter cakes.
Wow - Angie I am stunned by the height of this cake! It sounds delicious and do you get beetroot juice from a store or make your own?
Chiffon cakes do have wonderful texture, wow would not guess there is beetroot juice in there, it is pale. Even the beetroot finds it airy :-)
un gâteau bien moelleux et aéré
bonne soirée
Did the color from beets juice faded after baking the cake? My thought was beets color don't fade while cooking.
I would never think of this combo in a cake; Looks nice and tall!
what an interesting cake! never thought about using chia seeds in a cake batter! :)
Chia seeds are extremely popular! I really like the texture of this cake and really love the idea of adding these seeds in it. Delicious Angie!
What a creative recipe Angie...beet and chia seeds..and the texture of this chiffon cake looks perfect...beautiful cake.
Enjoy your week :)
Perfectly executed chiffon cake, Angie! Love how you incorporated chia seeds :)
Very elegant looking cake! Interesting that the typical beetroot red color didn't show up very much on this cake...intrigued by the looks, gorgeous photos!
Hi Angie, chiffon cakes are one of my favorite desserts, yours looks beautiful. Love that you used beetroot juice.
Your addition of beetroot in baked treats ROCKS! Your cake looks gorgeous! Hugs, Terra
This looks so perfectly fluffy! Sounds wonderful!
This cake looks divine! Must be so fluffy-))) Love the ingredients also!
Hugs,

I haven't had many chiffon cakes in my lifetime and have never made one. This one looks a lot more interesting than some I've seen so it's a great place to start. Love your use of the beet root juice and a beet root glaze sounds pretty darn good!
I love this chiffon cake Angie!
Have a happy chinese new year:))
This chiffon cake looks incredible, Angie! I love that you hid beetroot juice in here, you always have the best healthy recipes! Happy CNY too!
Chia and beet juice, eh? This cake is packed with superfoods!
looks so inviting..
What a great version of chiffon cake, which I just love! This must have disappeared quickly. Happy Chinese New Year!
YUMMY!!
You've introduced me to the most wonderful ingredients...organic beet juice, which I will have to look at Whole Foods for. Our two granddaughters are Taiwanese and Chinese and celebrate the New Year coming. This would be a wonderful dessert to make with a pineapple sauce (for good luck) XOXO
A fantastic way to celebrate! Yummy and beautiful!
I've always wanted to make a chiffon cake and have often heard how light they are. Yours looks wonderful - with a beautiful texture. Happy New Year to you too Angie!
Gorgeous cake!!
Happy new year Angie! I have been reading up on the year of the sheep the last couple days!! :-)
I'll take a slice, thank you.
I always am amazed at the chiffon cake, looks so perfect. Gorgeous my dear. I enjoy using beet juice too.
Happy Chinese New Year Angie!!
Hi Angie, I just wanted to thank you for letting me know about the closed comments on my site. I wouldn't have noticed so quickly otherwise. I have solved the issue now.
Grazie grazie!! :-)
looks wonderful and happy new year
What a healthy chiffon cake!
A gorgeous cake, Angie! I like fruit on my chiffon cakes....perhaps raspberries would be yummy on this one.
no glaze! part of me thinks that's just wrong, but it's still such a lovely and unique cake! i guess i could sacrifice that extra sugar just this once. :)
I don't think I've ever made a chiffon cake. Yours looks wonderful!
2 big slices please Angie! Looks so moist and scrumptious, and we absolutely love that you used so many healthy ingredients :)
My mom loves chiffon cakes! She would have used poppy seeds, but I love your use of chia.
Such a perfect looking cake. I love the addition of chia seeds in this. Happy new year to you too :-)
Gong Xi Fa Cai, Angie.
May the new year be better than last year :D
Beautiful chiffon cake with delicious flavour :D
Health and flavourful! You make the best tea match, Angie!! Thank you!

This cake looks like it would be perfect with a cup of tea, which is one of my favorite beverages!
Gorgeous, Angie! I love the color gradient from the edge into the center.
I could use a few slices of this delicious cake. Right about now :)
I wish I had a slice of this beautiful cake with my morning coffee, I have shied away from chiffon cake but I really should give it a go!
You are such a healthy cook, Angie, I think you're going to live forever! I've only used chia seeds a few times, but the idea of putting them in a chiffon cake sounds dreamy...
I love chiffon cakes- they're so light and fluffy. This one sounds delicious with chia seeds! Happy New Year! :)
