As the height of the tube of my pan is quite tall, I simply leave it to stand inverted on the table. What I have read from chiffon cookbook is, you can invert the pan over a bottle, see here for illustration (http://www.flahertywines.com/chile/lemon-chiffon-cake/). Hope this helps.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-24171134601556717082011-09-19T12:51:05.125+08:002011-09-19T12:51:05.125+08:00Hi Happy Homebaker,

I am not sure what causes your cake to had a slightly hard texture? Do you suspect it is due to the egg whites? Did your cake rise up high, if yes, then maybe it is not due to the beating of the whites? It could also be due to the baking time, baking temperature, etc.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-70780258164080651762009-07-31T00:21:03.290+08:002009-07-31T00:21:03.290+08:00hi :) I tried baking this today but, I found the t...hi :) I tried baking this today but, I found the texture of a cake a bit too hard.

Have made a Coffee Kahlua Chiffon cake over the weekend, definitely for coffee lover only.<BR/>Got a bit of advice for beating egg whites for chiffon cake, u need to beat (i use handheld mixer)egg white till it is standing peak(ie, the peak of the egg white doesn't flop when you lift the whisk up as if you are licking an ice cream, it will look very glossy and satiny ..), and at this stage when you turn the bowl around , the egg whites will not fall out of the bowl! Got to stop beating at this point otherwise it will separate.Once you are at ease with making chiffon cake, then there will be a great variety of flavour for you to explore.<BR/>Hope it helps.<BR/>SemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-68704516338841200032009-02-27T16:03:00.000+08:002009-02-27T16:03:00.000+08:00i like this Banana Blueberry Chiffon, i will try t...i like this Banana Blueberry Chiffon, i will try to do this weekend...thanks for the recipe...温馨小屋https://www.blogger.com/profile/03019092928654970263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-68393035627574906742009-02-20T04:32:00.000+08:002009-02-20T04:32:00.000+08:00Your cake came out so fluffy and delicious looking...Your cake came out so fluffy and delicious looking :).

Most baking books written in Chinese will state 'low-gluten flour' which can be taken as cake flour. I tried with plain flour for this recipe and it was ok. I am not sure what's the purpose of the fruit juice...but I doubt it is used in place of vanilla essence. Yes, the author is a Taiwanese.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-8516884519171013162009-02-16T10:12:00.000+08:002009-02-16T10:12:00.000+08:00Thanks for posting.
