Reimagined Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Ube Chiffon Cake:
- 6 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 150 grams granulated sugar, divided into 100g and 50g
- 50 grams milk
- 50 grams light-tasting oil
- 1 teaspoon ube extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams cake flour
For the Ube Whipped Cream:
- 400 grams whipping cream
- 40 grams powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ube extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12×17-inch baking tray with parchment paper at the bottom.
- Egg Separation: Carefully separate the egg yolks and whites into two large mixing bowls.
- Egg Whites: In the egg whites bowl, add cream of tartar. Whip until foamy, then gradually add 100g of sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Yolk Mixture: In the yolks bowl, combine 50g sugar, milk, oil, ube, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Combine with Flour: Sift the cake flour into the yolk mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Meringue Folding: Fold about one-third of the meringue into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the rest.
- Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden.
- Cooling and Rolling: Let the cake cool slightly, then invert onto a wire rack. Peel off parchment, flip again, and roll with a new parchment paper. Cool completely.
- Whipped Cream: Whip together the cream, powdered sugar, and ube and vanilla extracts until firm peaks form.
- Assembling: Unroll the cake, spread whipped cream, leaving a margin at one end. Re-roll the cake, trimming any excess cream.
- Chilling: Wrap the roll in plastic and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Serving: Trim the ends, slice, and serve.
