Pumpkin Chiffon Cake


This morning, i just realized that i have a small piece of pumpkin (only cost me RM 1) still sitting inside the fridge and I think already there for more than a week. Sometime i just buy things and planning to make something, but the end i was attracted by other recipes and totally forgot about it, hehehe..Since i have quite long did not bake a chiffon, so i added this pumpkin in this chiffon and resulted a very moist and soft chiffon, also like the natural golden colour..In fact, this small piece of pumpkin can turn into 3 chiffons...

Earlier i told you i bought a cheap cake stand from Bangkok, i only use it once and it has broken into two pieces, and further the big plate also broken into pieces, only left with the stand..sob sob ..
Anyway, I save the stand and turn it into another new cake stand as I just bought a cheap plate from Tesco and stick it together, look not bad right this new cake stand, hahaha..


*** Happy Labour Day and Happy Holiday ***

    Your chiffon cake is undoubtedly good! Smart idea of reusing the stand for another cake stand!

  7. Chiffon cake is my one of my favourite. I should try other "flavours" like this instead of my usual orange poppy seeds.

  17. Looks soft and silky, and the colour is beautiful! Can you taste the pumpkin in the cake?
    Same here, when I go shopping, I see ingredients which remind me of recipes I wanted to try, and I buy them...sometimes I buy too much and I forget to make or simply have no time, or get distracted by other recipes....and then have to throw away when it goes bad...LOL. My hubby keep complaining the the fridge and pantry have no space....either full of raw ingredients or full of leftovers! :p

  25. Dear Sonia, I bought a piece of pumpkin from the wet market to make steamed pumpkin buns but the colour was pale. I baked Pumpkin Yoghurt Chiffon with the same pumpkin, the colour turns out pale too. Yours have a very nice colour. Any advice on how to choose pumpkin which has a deeper colour when cooked? Thanks

  28. Sonia:
    I like all types of pumpkin recipes & every time when I saw someone is posting pumpkin cake, pound cake or chiffon cake, I will take the recipes home. I like the look of your chiffon cake & they rose sooooooo tigh! I'll try out your recipe 1 day as I made a different version of chiffon cake last week. They were very, very moist, taste a bit different from normal chiffon cake but your friend here was using loaf pan to bake & everything went smoothly until I dropped the pan, so want to know the outcome? The cake looked short & wide, hahaha, I think abt 1/3 height of your chiffon cake~I'm a short person & guess that the chiffon cake that I made also looks like me! Wait till I post it later, still have 1 cake hasn't posted yet!

    1 question, I just realise that you didn't use lemon juice or cream of tartar, wah, really a sifu huh, no citrus juice also can make such a successful chiffon cake.

  56. Kimmy, Thanks for stopping by..Sorry i could not give you any advise on how to choose the good pumpkin because I also know little about pumpkin, what i know is organic or normal type, hehehe..Maybe you can try to buy the ready cut pumpkin(normal type) from Jusco, so far,i only buy pumpkin from Jusco.

  57. Jessie, yes, there is no tartar or lemon juices added into meringue, it still resulted a good chiffon. But i always use self raising flour, at least it help to rise up nicely with the rising agent in the flour.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow! This chiffon cake looks lovely ! Love the the warm color that looks so inviting & the addintion of pumpkin seeds! I've been browsing around your blog & found your AMAZING collection of chiffon cakes! Absolutely marvelous!!
