Merelyn Custard Chiffon Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 cup cake flour
– 1 ½ cups sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 6 large eggs, separated
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 package instant custard mix
– Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 10-inch tube pan by greasing and flouring it lightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the vegetable oil, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup of sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
5. In a small bowl, prepare the instant custard mix according to package instructions.
6. Pour half of the chiffon cake batter into the prepared tube pan. Drizzle half of the prepared custard over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and custard.
7. Using a knife, gently swirl the custard into the batter to create a marbled effect.
8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Before serving, dust the Merelyn Custard Chiffon Cake with confectioners’ sugar for an elegant finish.
