Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 340ºF (170ºC). For a convection oven, reduce cooking temperature by 25ºF (15ºC). You will also need an 8" (20 cm) chiffon cake pan. If you have a different size pan, please read this post to adjust the ingredients.
- In a bowl, combine cake flour (80 g, ⅔ cup), baking powder (5 g, 1 ¼ tsp), and Dutch-processed cocoa powder (40 g, ½ cup) and mix well with a fork/whisk.
- Separate 5 large eggs to yolks and whites. Keep the egg whites in a stand mixer bowl and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.
- Refrigerate (or freeze) the bowl with egg whites for 15 minutes so both bowls and egg whites are cold (it's okay if the egg whites are partially frozen). In Japan, we chill the egg whites to make smooth, fine-textured meringue and do not use cream of tartar.
- Beat the egg yolks.
- Add granulated sugar (65 g, ⅓ cup). Whisk vigorously until it's a creamy pale yellow color.
- Add the oil (60 ml, ¼ cup) and beat to combine with the whisk.
- Add the milk (90 ml, ⅓ cup +1 ½ Tbsp) and vanilla (5 ml, 1 tsp) and combine well.
- Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift half of the dry ingredients. Whisk well to combine.
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well until just combined and no lumps (do not overmix).
- Take out the bowl of egg whites and set your stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
- Start whipping the egg whites on medium speed (level 5) until the egg whites are bubbly, opaque, and foamy.
- Gradually add granulated sugar (65 g, ⅓ cup) in small increments while whisking. Once you add all the sugar, change to a higher speed (level 8) and beat vigorously until stiff peaks form.
- To check on stiff peaks, pull up your whisk and see if the egg whites go straight up and just the tip is soft enough that it folds over, like taking a bow. This is a stiff peak stage. By this time, the meringue should have a glossy texture. TIP: I usually pause beating when the egg whites are getting close to the stiff peak stage. Take out the whisk attachment from the mixer and hand-mix the egg whites till homogenous in texture. Typically, the egg whites near the edge of the bowl are looser (not close to stiff peaks) compared to the center of the bowl. Then put the whisk back and continue beating till stiff peaks.
- Using a whisk, take ¼ of the meringue from the bowl and add to the batter. Whisk well to combine until homogenous.
- Take a third (⅓) of the meringue left in the bowl and this time, gently fold in without deflating the air bubbles in the meringue and batter.
- Take another third and repeat the process.
- Take the final third and gently fold in. Make sure to thoroughly mix without deflating the air bubbles.
- The consistency should look like this when you lift the whisk. Switch to the spatula and fold in one last time, scraping from the side and bottom of the bowl, making sure there is no chocolate accumulation.
- From 6-8 inch high, pour the batter into the ungreased 20-cm (8-inch) chiffon cake pan at the same location to prevent more bubbles from forming. Gently tap the cake pan on the working surface to release the air pockets in the batter.
- Run a wooden skewer through the batter to release air pockets. Put the cake pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake at 340ºF (170ºC) for 35-40 minutes (40 minutes for my oven).
- When it's done baking, insert the wooden skewer in the middle of the cake to see if it comes out clean (If wet, bake longer) and the top of the cake springs back when gently pressed. If the top gets burn too quickly (maybe heat source is too close), cover the top loosely with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake pan from the oven and gently drop the pan onto the working surface to shock the cake so it stops shrinking.
- Prepare a bottle with a long neck and invert the cake pan to let cool completely in its cake pan so that it stretches downward.
- Once the cake is completely cool, run offset spatulas around both inner and outer edges of the cake (I use a large/long spatula for outside and bottom and a small spatula for around the inner tube). I used to use a knife, but the tip of the knife tends to poke the cake while moving around, so I stopped using it.
- Gently remove the cake from the pan and run the offset spatula on the bottom of the cake.
- Invert the cake onto a plate or cake stand. Chiffon cake is served "upside-down", the flat bottom side being on top.

Steps:
- Pre-heat your oven to 325F and line the bottom of 3 9-inch round pans with parchment paper. Do not grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk 1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour, 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 3/4 cup coffee, 1/2 cup canola oil, 5 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and thoroughly incorporated. Add to your flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 8 egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar on medium speed until you reach soft peaks. Then switch to high speed and gradually add 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until the egg whites are very stiff and dry - the egg whites should be on the brink of losing their shine.
- Fold your egg whites into your batter in thirds. Gently fold until each addition is incorporated.
- Transfer the batter equally into your 3 pans and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Run a sharp knife along the sides of each cake and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then unmold and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Sift cake flour, 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
- Whisk together egg yolks, water, oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Combine egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat until well combined. Gently fold egg white mixture into the batter in 3 portions, until just combined.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Grease the cake pans with 1 tablespoon butter, then dust with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, tapping out any extra. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and remaining 1 1/2 cups cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and remaining 3 sticks butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs one at a time. On low speed, add the salt directly to the wet ingredients, then add half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the sour cream and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently incorporate the remaining flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the batter in each of the prepared pans. Tap the pans lightly on the counter so that the batter settles. Place the pans on the center rack of the oven and bake until a tester or small knife inserted in the center emerges clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes. Unmold onto a rack. Cool to room temperature, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more.
- Mix together the bourbon and the simple syrup in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the frosting: In a medium pot, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. In a medium oven-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and sugar. Place the bowl on top of the pot with the heavy cream to melt. Once the cream is simmering, pour it over the chocolate mixture and stir until all of the chocolate has melted and you have a glossy ganache. Gently stir in the vanilla, followed by the butter pieces. Set aside to let cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to the clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip the frosting for 1 to 2 minutes to lighten the texture.
- Put the cake layers on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Using a pastry brush, brush about half the bourbon mixture on each cake layer. Frost the top of the bottom layer, then stack the other layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake.

COCONUT CHIFFON CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
Celebrate Passover with a chiffon cake so tender and airy, you'll be tempted to make it year-round (even if you don't observe the Jewish holiday). To keep it kosher, whipped egg whites act as the only leavener, and coconut oil replaces butter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together matzo meal, potato starch, and salt. In a large bowl, beat egg whites on medium-high to soft peaks. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. In another large bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla seeds until pale and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in 3 tablespoons oil, then coconut milk, just until combined. Add matzo mixture; beat just until combined. Stir in one-third of egg whites, then gently fold in remaining whites in two additions, just until combined and no streaks remain (do not overmix). Transfer to an ungreased 10-inch tube pan (preferably footed) with a removable bottom; smooth top with an offset spatula.
- Bake cake until golden on top and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Invert pan and let cool completely. If pan is not footed, invert center of tube onto the neck of a bottle to allow air circulation.
- Turn cake right-side up. Run a thin, sharp knife around sides of pan and center tube. Lift cake by center tube; remove ring. Run knife around bottom of pan to loosen; invert cake to remove. Place on a plate or stand. Combine remaining oil and chocolate in a bowl. Place over (but not in) a pot of simmering water; stir until melted. Remove from heat and place over an ice-water bath, stirring constantly, until thickened slightly but still pourable, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour frosting evenly over top and sprinkle with coconut. Cut into wedges; serve.
