Last time i prefer butter cake but now i try to slowly switch to chiffon since they are more healthier than butter cake, light and soft! Love this mango flavour of chiffon !
ReplyDeleteChiffon is my first preference, not so fattening.
DeleteYes, I love eating chiffon cakes too because they are so much lighter than buttercakes and of course less calories too! Your cake looks so evenly baked and I like the mango bits you've added.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeannie. Surfing the net to look for more flavours of chiffon to try out.
DeleteThat's a perfect chiffon cake! I love chiffon cake too and thinking of making one soon :)
ReplyDeleteThat's your recipe, thanks Ann.
DeleteCheah...you are really sifu when it comes to making chiffon cake...I can never make it stand tall :))) salute to you ! Well done and I am sure your mango chiffon tasted good. I can eat one whole cake to myself and what more mango flavor !
ReplyDeleteI'm not sifu, momsie, still learning the tricks. This cake is yummy. Must try the one with dragon fruit but have so many recipes on my to-do list so this must take a back seat for the moment.
DeleteWow.. it's been a long time since I made chiffon cake.. Yours looks so good that it's tempting me to try one soon...
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Joyce. Yes, perhaps it's time that you make one.
DeleteA perfect chiffon cake! Yup, chiffon cake is definitely a healthy cake. A slice of it will never be satisfying enough and so must eat more.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, more healthy and light.
Deleteawesome cake.....looks Great and lovely presentation. Very very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Nice of you to drop by. Will hop over to your blog soon.
DeleteI like bake chiffon with yogurt too. It yields softer texture. Lovely chiffon with mango flavour. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you but sometimes adding in yoghurt can be quite tricky, if too much the chiffon will collapse!
Deletei'm not tired of eating chiffon too, light and not too filling! have you tried baking an angel cake? i wonder if the texture is even lighter and airer..

This looks so lovely and I love mangoes, so have bookmarked this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try making this mango yoghurt chiffon cake and would like to verify with you on the amount of baking powder to add. You stated in your recipe to add 1/2 table spoon of baking powder, so if I'm making a bigger cake with 8 egg yolks & egg whites, do I increase the baking powder to 0.8 table spoon? Appreciate your advise. Thanks so much
ReplyDeleteFor easy calculations,I would suggest that you increase the recipe by half, i.e. use 7.1/2 egg yolks and 7.1/2 egg whites. 1 Tbsp = 3 tsp, therefore 1/2 Tbsp = 1.1/2 tsp = 6/4 tsp baking powder. For 7.1/2 egg yolks/whites, you use 6/4 + 3/4 = 9/4 = 2.1/4 tsp baking powder. Do you have a bigger chiffon pan? Because using 7.1/2 egg yolks/whites will give you a much bigger cake. Weigh out the egg to get half, then cook the balance! Hope this helps!
DeleteYes, I have a 25cm chiffon cake tin. Thank you so much for the advise. Have an enjoyable day!
DeleteHi, I tried to bake this cake without much success. Is there a specific mango yoghurt that I should use? I followed the instructions strictly but it didn't quite look like this? The taste is also quite bland too. Is there a specific type of mango you used as well?
DeleteCheers, Ed
The mango yoghurt can be Dutch Lady or Nestle brand or any brand which is available in your region. I used home grown mango and unfortunately I don't know the the name of it.
DeleteHi. I tried doing the same. But mine crack and it was wet and moist. Not really cooked. What problem could tt be? Thx!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Maybe it's underbaked or you have deflated the egg whites. Also remember that the chiffon pan must not be greased at all. It's quite normal for the egg to crack. No harm in trying again.
