I normally measure the pan from the top part as well, and the egg that I used and prefer a big one, min. 65g.
For my understanding, I think 20cm is normally for 3-5 eggs, so when you bake more than 5 eggs, you need at least 23cm, because the cake need more room to rise evenly. It's time to buy another one ... hahahaha ...
I'm glad to see your chiffon have brown skin now, which I still cannot master it until now.
Which degree are you using? And how long?
the chiffon is nicely baked and looks yummy
Hi Fatmum,
I checked out my chiffon tins which are supposed to be 21cm and 25cm chiffon tins. Measured them from the top and it was correct.
Usually, I will use refer to 5 yolks, 5 whites recipes for my 21cm tin (I always use 55-60g eggs). That should be suitable for 20cm pans also. 8 egg whites seemed to be too much.
DG, when I see the batter I know is too much for the tin but I simply poured all into the tin....thinking that the book shld not be wrong haha..(this is what I called follow blindly) Thanks for sharing the info with me. =) ya....finally can see the skin intact i used 180c for 52mins. But top is gettng burn so got to use baking paper to cover half way through the baking process. As for new baking tin....think my cupboard got no more room for them haha...
Jess this chiffon has a light lemon taste and the cheese is not too strong. Hee...the burnt part is hide at the base =)
Bakertan
Thanks for sharing the information with me. btw jst want to say your baking skill has improved tremendously. Well done!
Hi Fatmum,
I baked using this author's matcha chiffon cake using 20 cm recipe (5 yolks, 7 whites recipes). I used 55g eggs with shell and a 21-cm pan (measured from top).
The cake was the best risen among all my chiffon bakes.
Agreed with you that the book was mostly torn from the library. Sigh. Hence I did not see this recipe from the library. Glad to see it from your blog. :)
Thank Hanushi for sharing with me your baking experience. In this case I guess the egg size I used is of the XL frame (65gm with shell) hahah....The book I borrowed the other time have this page missing too.
Hi Fatmum,
You are most welcome. Just sharing with you my humble experience as I always fail at chiffon while the matcha chiffon cake from the author is the best one so far.
Hope to see more bakes from you and successful stories. :)
