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.

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:
- 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.
