Black Sesame Chiffon Cake

 

Black Sesame Chiffon Cake is what you want when you want a "not so sweet" cake that is fluffy and light... and dairy-free

For some strange reason, I never posted my black sesame chiffon recipe even though I've made it so many times since I posted it on SAC in 2019.  Since then I got myself a standard 8inch (20cm) chiffon tin and simplified... enjoy!


INGREDIENTS

5 eggs separated

3/4t cream of tartar

90g caster sugar

20g brown sugar

25g black sesame flour

20g black sesame seeds

40g canola oil

20g sesame oil

60g water

70g self raising cake flour

1t baking powder


METHOD

Pre-heat oven to 160C fan forced

Make meringue (egg whites, cream of tartar, caster sugar) and set aside

Whisk egg yolks and brown sugar until foamy/doubled in volume

Mix black sesame flour/seeds with oils, then stir through water

Add to egg yolk mixture

Sift in self raising cake flour/baking powder.  whisk through

Fold in the meringue

Pour into angel cake pan, tap multiple times to remove bubbles/even surface

Bake on bottom shelf for 45mins

Invert to cool 30 mins before removing from tin

I like to run a skewer or thin knife around to loosen from tin

Cut and serve
