[7th contest] Snow Volcanic Chiffon Cake

Updated: Aug 5, 2021

To suit the theme, I have made a savory kind of chiffon cake with cheese flavor. I used agar-agar powder to make red milk cubes, imitating lava rocks oozing out from beneath the Earth. You could definitely also colored your whipping cream to red to resemble red lava flowing out from the ‘crater’. Depending on how rich you prefer your cake dessert, you can sprinkle as much shredded cheddar cheese as possible 😊

★ Helpful Tips!

  • Ensure your egg white bowl is clean from any oil / yolk. Otherwise, it would ruin your egg white for beating.

  • Adjust cheese powder into your cake yolk batter to your likings. However, putting too much will make your cake saltier though.

  • Whipping your cream to about 60% will be like ‘ribbon flow’ consistency.

  • It is best to finish this cake in 3 days’ time. Chilling in fridge too long will dry-up the chiffon cake texture.
