Pandan Chiffon Cake


Cake ini sebenernya dah dibikin beberapa waktu yang lalu. Belum sempat naik cetak... sibuk banget 2 minggu terakhir ini.

Chiffon cake... cake yang lembuttt teksturnya... memberikan sensasi tersendiri ketika menggigitnya.

Browsing di inet, dari mbak Wiki... ada artikel begini nih :

A chiffon cake is a very light cake made with vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. In contrast to butter, the traditional fat used in cake making, it is difficult to beat air into oil, so chiffon cakes, like angel cakes and other foam cakes, achieve a fluffy texture by beating egg whites until stiff, and folding them into the cake batter before baking.

The chiffon cake was invented in 1927 by Harry Baker, a California insurance salesman turned caterer. Mr. Baker kept the recipe secret for 20 years until he sold it to General Mills. At this point the name was changed to "chiffon cake" and a set of 14 recipes and variations was released to the public in a Betty Crocker pamphlet published in 1948.

Jadi, ternyata ini awalnya adalah resep rahasia dapur dari Oom Harry. Termasuk kue yang "baru" kali ya... dibandingkan dengan butter cake dll.

Sebenernya, pas bikin cake ini, maunya bikin warna warni, rainbow gitu loh. Karena si mungil Kalila ngalem banget.. akhirnya dibikin pandan tok aja.. cepet.

Biarpun cepet... namun soal rasa....nyeemmmm.... gak usah ditanya. Ravi habis setengah loyang sendiri loh....
