This sinful Chocolate Chiffon Cake is just delicious. Try making this cake and I bet it will get vanished in seconds.I was planning to make a chocolate sponge cake but landed up making chiffon cake. Don’t ask where I learned and how I know the difference may be I was a baker in my past life ;)….. because I don’t have any training’s for baking Or cooking.

Baking comes naturally to me I make so many varieties of cakes. Later I google and check what kind of cake I made that’s me 🙂 weird right. Any normal person would see the recipe and then make… I make the recipe and then try to match and check what I made.

I love chocolates and my hubby doesn’t (: ….. But I was surprised when he loved this chocolate chiffon cake. I just tasted the cake and I don’t know where it disappeared. We got some guests at our house the kid’s ate them all one by one. Planning to make some more soon. It takes effort to make but it’s worth it.

Looking forward to make some more chiffon cakes in other flavors. Have fallen in love with the texture and taste of this cake. Challenge would be to make eggless cake this way. It would be difficult but not impossible.

Let’s make basic chocolate chiffon cake step by step:

1. Preheat oven at 180°C for fifteen mins before baking. Grease a round pan and dust some flour over it. Tap excess flour if any. Sift all dry ingredients like cocoa powder, flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon powder and coffee powder. Place it aside.

2. With the help of beater beat egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Best way to find if it’s done is when you reverse the pan it shouldn’t fall off. Be careful not to over beat the whites.

3. Now time to beat the egg yolks separately until yolks are double their size.

Notes
1. It's important that yolks and egg whites are separated rightly.
2. One things you got to be careful is not over-mix the egg whites while folding in the cake.
3. Once your cake starts leaving the edges of your pan that means it's almost done. 4. Do a skewer check before you remove the cake.
5. If your cake is browning too much from top then cover with a foil.
