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.

- Meanwhile, place a metal bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for at least 15 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.

CHOCOLATE CHIFFON CUPCAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place paper liners into 2 (12-cup) muffin tins and set aside. If you prefer, set 12 ovenproof coffee mugs on a half sheet pan and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Place the hot water and the cocoa powder into a small bowl and whisk to thoroughly combine. Set aside. Place the egg yolks and 5 ounces of the sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on high for 2 minutes or until the mixture becomes pale yellow and 'ribbons' when lifted. Add the cocoa mixture, vegetable oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients and whisk just to combine. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl while you whisk the egg whites.
- Place the egg whites and cream of tartar into a clean bowl and whisk on high using the whisk attachment, until it becomes foamy. Decrease the speed to low and gradually add the remaining ounce of sugar. Once the sugar has all been added, increase the speed back to high and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, approximately 2 minutes.
- Transfer 1/3 of the egg whites to the batter and whisk until well combined. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in gently. Transfer batter into prepared muffin tins or coffee mugs, evenly dividing the batter between the cups. Place both muffin tins on the middle rack of the oven or, if using mugs, place all of them on a half sheet pan and set on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or the cupcakes reach an internal temperature of 205 to 210 degrees F. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
CHOCOLATE LOVER'S CHIFFON CAKE
This is a wonderful Chocolate Mousse cake. I got this years ago from a McCall's Cooking School recipe collection. It takes some time, but is definitely worth it! The sifting should be done before the measuring. Cooking time includes cooling time.

CHOCOLATE CHIFFON CAKE
This cake is from a wonderful pastry chef, Mary Bergin. It's very simple, and it's simply the finest chocolate cake anywhere. When I make chocolate cake, this is the recipe I use. I may vary the accompaniments, but the cake is the same.
