Tips
- This recipe is based on grade A egg that weighed approximately 50g per egg.
- Be careful during egg separation to ensure that none of the egg yolk landed in egg whites.
- Add a drop of green colouring to the cake batter should you prefer stronger green colour of the chiffon cake as natural pandan essence does not colour the batter as dark.
- The batter is smooth and flowy in medium consistency when you pour, this serves as a self-check if you have gotten the right consistency.

Hi can I check 1st we bake at 170 deg, then 150 deg, so do I have to take out the pan fm oven? If not i continue to bake in the oven, just lower the temp?

Hi Marie, higher temperature will aid the rise of cake hence we preheat the oven and bake at 170. However, high temperature may cause cake to dry off over time (while waiting for the inner cake to be fully cooked) and possible over browning on the cake surface that’s expose to hot air. Therefore, we bake at 170 and subsequently lower the temperature to 150. Just lower the temperature will do, no need to take the pan out from oven.
