Chocolate Chip Chiffon Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Lightly grease a 10" bundt pan.
• Sift together the 1 cup sugar, cake flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt twice.
• In a separate bowl, mix the yolks, oil, water and vanilla.
• Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• In the bowl of your mixer, whip the whites to soft peaks, then slowly add the last 1/2 cup sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
• Mix 1/3 of the whites into the chocolate base to lighten, the fold the remaining whites in gently until thoroughly incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cake JUST begins to come away from the sides.
• Immediately remove from the oven and let cool, then turn out onto a plate.
• Notes: This cake needs no icing.
• I like to fill the center with lightly sweetened whipped cream and raspberries, OR, sift a little powdered sugar over top, slice and serve with whipped cream and hot fudge sauce, or whatever you can dream up.

Steps:

• Whip egg whites until the whites are very stiff. Mix all other ingredients together. Pour the egg yolk mixture over egg whites. Circulate air with a spatula. Preheat the oven to 325° for 55 minutes, then bake at 350° for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a bowl, combine cocoa and water until smooth; cool for 20 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, oil and vanilla; add to dry ingredients along with the cocoa mixture. Beat until well blended. In another large bowl and with clean beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into egg yolk mixture. , Gently spoon batter into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest rack at 325° for 60-65 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely. Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Invert cake onto a serving plate., For icing, melt butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat; stir in the confectioners' sugar, chocolate, vanilla and water. Drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with nuts if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch pan.
• In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and chocolate chips. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix well. Add flour mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Pour batter into 9 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until golden brown and springy on the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, water, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest. Whisk well to combine.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate medium bowl. Add ¾ cup (150 grams) of sugar and salt and whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk well.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form and the egg whites are glossy.
• Pour the egg yolk batter into the egg whites and fold to combine with a spatula.
• Divide the batter between 2 ungreased 8.5-inch (21 cm) round cake pans (not greasing will help the chiffon cakes rise).
• Bake for 40-50 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for 10-15 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
• While the cakes are baking, make the buttercream frosting: combine the butter and about half of the sugar in a large bowl and cream with a hand mixer until combined. Add the rest of the sugar and beat to incorporate. With the mixer running, slowly add the evaporated milk and beat until smooth.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and cool the cake upside down. Once cool to the touch, sliding an offset spatula around the edges to release the cakes from the pans.
• Cut off the tops of the cakes so the surfaces are flat and smooth.
• Set 1 cake on a cake platter or serving dish. Spread buttercream over the top of the cake with an offset spatula and sprinkle with some seasonal fruit. Cover the fruit with buttercream.
• Place the other cake on top. Spread buttercream over the top, keeping the sides exposed, and decorate with seasonal fruit and edible flowers.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Position oven rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven; preheat oven t 325°.
• You will need a 10 x 4 inch tube pan; it must NOT be a nonstick pan and it must be the kind made in two pieces-the bottom and tube in one piece and the sides in a separatepiece; do NOT butter the pan.
• On a board, with a heavy knife, cut the chocolate into small pieces; aim for pieces ¼ inch in diameter; do not leave any pieces larger than ¼ inch, because this is a very light cake and larger pieces might sink to the bottom; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, 1 ¼ cup sugar, instant coffee, baking powder, and salt.
• With a rubber spatula make a wide well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
• Add, in the following order, without mixing, the oil, egg yolks, Kahula, water, and vanilla.
• With a large strong wire whisk, beat the ingredients until smooth.
• Remove the whisk and with a rubber spatula stir/fold in the chopped chocolate; set aside.
• In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the whites until foamy, add the cream of tartar, and beat at high speed until the whites hold a soft shape.
• Decrease speed to medium and gradually add the remaining ½ cup sugar.
• Then, on high speed again, beat until the whites hold a straight and stiff peak when the beaters are withdrawn.
• For the recipe the whites should be stiffer than for most; when the whites are firm, beat for 1 minute more to be sure.
• That should make them just right; more beating than that might make them too dry.
• Use a large-size rubber spatula-in three additions, fold about ¾ of the yolk mixture into the whites, without being too thorough (without being even a bit thorough).
• Then fold the whites into the remaining yolk mixture, this time being thorough enough to just barely incorporate the mixtures.
• Gently pour the batter into the cake pan and gently smooth the top if necessary.
• Bake for 1 hour and 10-15 minutes, until the top springs back when pressed gently with a fingertip; the top will crack during baking-it is ok.
• Immediately turn the pan over and hang it upside down over the neck of a narrow bottle (even if your pan has a raised tube in the middle or three little feet on the sides, they probably will not raise the cake enough to keep it off the counter top).
• When the cake is completely cool, remove it from the pan as follows-you will need a sharp knife with a firm blade about 6 inches long; insert knife between the cake and the rim in order not to cut into the cake.
• With short up and down motions, saw all around the cake, continuing to press the blade against the side of the pan; then cut around the tube.
• Remove the sides of the pan by pushing up on the bottom of the pan; then, carefully cut the bottom of the cake away from the pan, still pressing against the pan.
• Cover the cake with a wide, flat cake plate, turn the cake and plate over, and lift off the bottom of the pan, leaving the cake upside down.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar through a fine strainer.
• Use a serrated knife and a sawing motion to slice the cake without squashing it.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 25cm round deep cake tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mix the oil, egg yolks, vanilla paste, caster sugar and 200ml water until well combined. Sift in the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
• Sift in the flour, bicarb and 1 tsp salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold into the batter with a large metal spoon and mix until everything is well combined.
• Gently pour the mixture into your cake tin, then bang it on the work surface twice to expel any large air pockets. Bake for 1 hr 10 mins or until the cake springs back when gently prodded and an inserted skewer comes out clean. (Cover with foil after 1 hr if the cake starts to get too dark.) Remove from the oven, cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a large wire rack and peel off the parchment. Leave until the cake is completely cool.
• Make the salted caramel icing while the cake bakes. Heat the brown sugar, ½ tsp salt and cream in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Bubble for a few mins, then leave to cool completely. Beat the butter until smooth, pour in the cooled cream mixture and continue mixing until softly whipped. Chill until needed.
• To make the ganache, heat the cream until just boiling. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for a few mins until the chocolate has melted and you have a smooth sauce consistency. Leave to cool at room temperature until the ganache is a pipeable thickness, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. To finish the cake, slice in half and fill with the salted caramel buttercream. Pipe tall spikes of chocolate ganache on top and decorate with the sea salt crystals. Will keep for up to 2 days in a cool place.

Steps:

• Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cocoa and hot water until smooth; cool for 20 minutes.

• Remove cake from the oven. Invert pan onto an upside-down mug to cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around the edges of the cooled cake to loosen it from the pan and carefully transfer it to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the cake in half horizontally.
• Combine sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in the chilled metal bowl and whisk to combine. Add 2 tablespoons cream and stir. Add remaining cream and beat using the chilled whisk until peaks form.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Combine chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a metal bowl and place over the saucepan of simmering water. Stir until chocolate is melted, about 3 minutes. Remove glaze from heat and let cool slightly.
• Place the bottom half of the cake on a cake plate and top evenly with about 1 cup of frosting reserving the rest for decorating. Carefully place top layer over filling.
