  4. Hi Huikie,

    Have cracks on top is quite a normal thing to happen for chiffon cake.


    Try to bake at a lower shelf , not too high to the top and don't fill your pan more than 3/4 of it's height.

  9. Hi Lucy

    Is it ok to omit the kahlua liquer and just add the coffee granules instead ? Will the taste be nice too?

    Thanks!

  12. IHi Mscake,

    1 egg yolk = 20 gm
    1 egg white = 40 gm.

    The above is just a rough guide. The rest is up to you to calculate.

  16. Hi anonymous,

    It all depends on the height which you have achieved right now. If it's short a little bit, just make 1 1/4 of the recipe if a lot more, make 1 1/2 recipe.

  19. Hi Irene,

    Better to get a chiffon cake pan which you can easily get it from Phoon Huat , sun Lik or Ailin.

    You need to hang the cake while cooling.

  20. Hi Aunty Yochana,

    What do you mean 'hang the cake while cooling' ?

  21. Hi Fiona,

    Just invert the cake onto a cooling rack (with the tube pan still attached to the cake) till it's completely cooled.

  24. Hi Wendy

    You can find Kahlua in the airport, Carrefou, Jasons supermarket. I don't think Sun Lik has it.

  29. For the milk, can I use coconut milk instead? I see that some of the chiffon cake recipe calls for coconut milk, while some calls for water or evaporated milk. Are they interchangeable?
