Dark Chocolate Chiffon Cake with Fluffy Rosewater Frosting. There’s something about the word “chiffon” that simply makes me happy.
And hungry. Pair it with the word cake, and you know I’m going to be intrigued. I’ve been wanting to share a chiffon cake with you for some time now, but truly, there are so many flavour variations out there that I felt it would be best to wait until I made one that really excited me and that I found unique and nothing short of delightful. What makes a chiffon cake a chiffon cake? Well, it’s a light and springy cake that gets its height from a generous number of egg whites that are beaten separately from the egg yolks into a stiff peak meringue and folded into the blended batter base, which typically includes oil (never butter), flour, baking powder, and sugar. According to What’s Cooking America, the first chiffon cake was introduced in 1927, by its inventor, Harry Baker, a Los Angeles insurance agent who kept his recipe guarded for two decades, baking and selling it to Hollywood stars exclusively.
Ingredients. Dark Chocolate & Raspberry Buttercream Cake with Ganache Drizzle. I have a bit of a dilemma.
Okay, I have a big, big dilemma: this cake is sitting 6′ away from me in the fridge right now, and I’m trying to resist it! You’d think I’d be used to sitting in arms’ reach of cake all day long, but sometimes, well, maybe often, it’s almost impossible not to sit down to the entire thing with a fork and just go to it. The thing is, as much as I joke about the amount of cake I eat, I also take a break from the sweets now and again, to make sure I stay healthy & fit. Sadly, now is one of those times! I did take a few bites, to makes sure it all tasted great, but that’s all. For me, the joy is actually about baking and making the cakes, and usually the even bigger joy is watching someone else enjoy them.
I began to wonder if a buttercream cake would taste even better that way. Aside from the ganache drizzle (which, oops, isn’t as smooth as it should be, so we’ll talk about that!) Well, I suppose that’s okay, because now we can talk a bit about that. Ingredients. Inside-out carrot cake – Carrot Cake Muffins. Spring = bunnies Bunnies = carrots.
