Asian Honey Chiffon Cake (Japanese, Taiwanese) image

Since I was little, I've always had honey cake. It's the fluffiest, melt-in-your-mouth cake that has a nice scent of honey. It's usually baked in a rectangular tin (loaf tin), and once cooled, we put a glaze of clear jelly/apricot glaze on top for a glossy finish and served as simple slices, as anything else would overwhelm the delicate taste of honey.

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs, separated
20 g caster sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons milk
85 g low-grade flour (although all purpose will be fine, experiment with the different texture)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (or white vinegar)
50 g caster sugar

Steps:

  • Grease a loaf tin, and layer baking (waxed) paper into the tin, cut the corners so they lie flat against the tin.
  • Preheat the oven to 150C / 300°F.
  • Whisk together the 4 yolks and the 20g of caster sugar, slowly add in the honey until thick and pale. Whisk in the oil, then milk.
  • Sift the flour, and fold in, rapidly and with big gestures, to the above mixture until the flour disappear.
  • Use another oil-free water-free bowl, beat the eggs whites with cream of tartar / vinegar until soft peak. Beat in the 50g of sugar and continue to beat until stiff peak.
  • Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites to the mixture, then fold in the rest just until even. Be mindful not to deflate the texture.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, smooth the top, and bake for 40-50 minutes. Done when inserted skewer comes out clean.
  • Turn out onto a wire wrack and cool before glazing with clear jelly or apricot sauce. (I never really got around to that stage as it's gone by then).
  • Enjoy!
  • p.s. I have made this into cup cakes and it is very popular at parties!
