Coffee Chiffon with Chocolate Chips

I am experimenting with different flavours of chiffon cake. Here’s a coffee version bursting with chocolate chips!


Ingredients:

(A)

Egg Yolks (6)

Flour (6 tbsp)

Instant 3-in-1 coffee powder (3 packets mixed with 4 tbsp of water)
Oil (1 tbsp)

(B)

Egg Whites (6)

Sugar (4 ½ tbsp)

Corn Flour (1 tbsp)

(C)Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven at 180C

Note: I reduced the temperature to 170C during the last 15min of baking

Method:

1. Mix (A) in a bowl and beat till combined.

2. In another bowl, beat egg whites till soft peak forms.

3. Add sugar and beat till shiny and glossy.

4. Add corn flour and beat till it’s almost stiff (turn the bowl upside down and the egg whites should not fall).

5. Fold in 1/3 of egg whites into the (A) mixture.

6. Repeat 2 more times adding 1/3 each time.

7. Lastly, gently fold in the chocolate chips.

8. Pour into a chiffon cake mould and bake for 45-50min or till cooked.
9. Invert the cake to cool. Un-mould using a thin knife by loosening the sides.
