Yochana,

I always like to look at your chiffon, so fluffy and soft looking and so tall.

Must learn from you :)

Hi BK,

No problem at all.

To get a tall chiffon, make sure your batter comes up to at least 3/4 of the height of the tin.

Hi Aunty Yochana,

I love chiffon cake and i have been making it twice with your recipe. However, for both times, i am unable to achieve the fluffy texture like yours. Mine is kinda damp and dense.

Do u know why is this so?

the cake did rise, in fact, it risen to the full height of the tin. Once i removed it from the oven and inverted it to cool, the height shrank and the inverted part of the cake kinda collapsed a bit. my cakes are not as 'solid' as yours.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Eve,

It's a sign of undercooked chiffon cake. Try baking a little big more to have a drier side so that they do not collapse and it will stick to the tin till it's cooled. Remember...do not grease your tin.
