I made this light, fluffy and moist chiffon cake couple of weeks ago and now only have some time to share. It's made by my homemade blueberry sauce and a simple touch up of fresh cream with digestive cookie crumbs. My guests love it very much and so do I. Hope you like it too! OK, I got to go now, very tired today. Cheers!

Nice! I never try to have my chiffon eaten with cream, got to try with it some day...:)
Grace,
Is there a typo?
20 inches pan? That'll be huge.
I love the colour of your cake, the last time I made this, the colour wasn't this nice :)
This remind me the strawberry chiffon that my kid like, I guess they would like this too. Your chiffon look pretty.
you have given the chiffon a chic look. how clever !
I've always been a fan of your beautiful chiffons! However, I've not tried one that is frosted! :p Next time okay? :)
i love the lovely purple hue! the texture is divine!
That's a beautiful blueberry chiffon cake. Me too have never tried chiffon cake with cream.
this look so lovely. Love the colour.
Grace, your blueberry chiffon look gorgeous!!!! Love the purplish colour.
Hi Grace,
You're so good with Chiffon cakes. All of them turned out so beautifully. Its been a long long time since I bake Chiffon cake. Wonder if I could make as nice as yours. Btw, I'm no good at gm or spoon measurement when the recipe says 180g egg whites or 1 tbsp butter. Can you kindly let me know how many eggs would that be in order to achieve 180g & how many grm butter = 1 tbsp. Thanks for your great help.

Grace, your chiffon cake looks so perfect! Love the purplish colour too :))
The color of the chiffon is wonderful! Almost like purplish pink. The texture looks great too. Will try this out when I have time to make the blueberry sauce.
Hello to my dear supporter, thank you so much for leaving me lovely comments. That's very encouraging!
Hello Alice, the recipe call for very accurate egg yolks and whites. So it has to be measured in grams instead of quantity of eggs. As all eggs are in different sizes, I hardly tell how many eggs it needed in this recipe. But, it's approximately 6 medium eggs. Beside, this recipe ask for vegetable oil instead of butter, so don't worry about the measurement of tablespoon. Cheers!
the purple / blue hue is beautiful..
Hello Grace,
Just would like to seek your help as to the use of the oven fan function. Can I use it for baking bread or cakes only. TQ.
Hi Grace, it's a nice cake. May I know what fresh cream are you using? From the photo, it's not pure white colour. It's creamy yellow colour. It looks the same as those cake in Four Season bakery shop. So I'm very curious what fresh cream you are using. So far I always use nondairy whipped cream from Phoon Huat and quite sick of the taste already.
Hi Delphine,
I think for bread baking better not to use fan as it might cause the bread dry and lose it texture. As for me, cakes like chiffon or sponge cake I would prefer fan oven. For cookies, it depends on which recipe I use to.
Hi Sue Chua,
I normally don't fix on using any brand or whipped or nondairy or fresh cream. It depends on which supermarket I went and what is available on the market. For this, I use anchor whipping cream from Giant. The color has a bit of yellowish and also because of the sunlight reflection from my window :) I added some vanilla for the whipping cream to enhance the flavor. Cheers!
Hi Grace,
Thank you so much for your kind advice. TQ
Hi Grace, thanks for sharing idea of adding vanilla extract to whipped cream. Will give a try.
Hi Grace,

Hi Yenny,
I feel so touched :) thanks for dropping here and very sorry that I'm slow in updating my blog. I seldom bake lately as my little son just reach his 9th month. I did bake sometime but there were repeated recipes so no point to post them up again. Thanks again for your all time support, I will update once I manage to bake some new stuffs. Have a nice day!
I a blueberry addict, I can say it.........chiffon with blueberry sounds interesting.
Can i have a piece? haha!
Mmmmm.... Yummy, Thx a lots. :)
This is the most beautiful chiffon cake I've ever seen! ^^ It looks absolutely delicious as well.
Hi Grace, your chiffon cakes always turn out so well. Mine always start to shrink when it is cooked while still in the oven. I have tried starting baking at 170C for 15 mins then lower it to 160C, and also baking it at 170C all throughout but the result is still the same. Would you kindly advise, please? Thank you
