Green Tea chiffon cake with red bean cream

Green Tea chiffon cake with red bean cream


I just bought a cookbook via online. I saw a lot of good review of "Okashi-sweet treats made with love" among bloggers and also a book that Jane thought to order for me, Thanks Jane. The 1st recipe i tried from this book is a green tea chiffon because we love green tea flavour.















Thought i need to increase temp to 170c instead of 160c as i found the sides of the chiffon was a bit undercooked.

And i changed the cream from green tea to red bean because I believe red bean and green tea are best to combine together...

I made the right choice, this chiffon is very soft and moist..and a perfect combination of green tea and red bean.

This looks gorgeous! I have the book too, but have yet to make any of the recipe. Green tea and red bean simply go so well together.

Can see the chiffon is super soft and the color is beautiful. Yumm yumm!

Nice to see a bit of green after all those red velvet cakes that flooded the blogs the last month or so. And the cake has no artificial coloring which is fantastic

gastrojourney said...

It looks really yummy! I have been wanting to bake chiffon cake for awhile but I have a question. May I know if I don't have the chiffon cake pan, can I replace it with the normal cake tin? Will it cause any problem to cake? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I already have a 10" 2pc tube cake pan, like those for angel cake. How do I adjust your recipe to fit my pan?

masakmasaksukumei said...

Thanks for the recipe... i made this again today, the texture is sooo soft n moist.... love love love this cake!!!

masakmasaksukumei said...

This is a very good recipe... moist, cotton soft, n not too sweet!! Thanks for sharing!! I baked this for many many times... the red bean cream goes very well with the cake... i even modified this recipe to chocolate n orange version ;-)

Unknown said...

Hi Sonia, i made this cake last Saturday. It taste just nice. I mix up the step when i make the egg whites thus i suspect this is the reason of why the cake is still not as soft as expected.

I used the azuki can for the red bean so i do not need to add any sugar and food color. The icing looks pink without food color. Wonder if the azuki can has food color in itself.

Overall, the cake looks nice and it taste light n moist.

Thanks for the recipe.
