4 Ingredient Chiffon Cake

Saw R attempted the 3 ingredient chiffon cake some time back, I was curious how this cake will turn out as it has no oil to it.

Since I am at a lost as to what to offer for tomorrow's breakfast, I went for it.  

I think my kids will not appreciate a plain cake so I added in cocoa powder to entice them which turn it into a 4 ingredient chocolate chiffon cake.



Learning experience: 

Since I have converted it into a chocolate cake, I increased the sugar level to counter the dark chocolate.

Am happy how this turned out.


What you need:


4 egg yolks

30g castor sugar
44g cake flour 
25g cocoa powder

50g castor sugar
4 egg whites

Method:

Preheat oven to 170°C. Prepare a 7" cake pan without grease.


Sift cake flour with cocoa powder.  Set aside.


Beat egg yolks with 3 tbsp of sugar until it is light and fluffy.


Beat in cake flour (in two additions).


Whisk egg white with 3 tbsp of sugar until stiff peak.


Fold egg whites into batter.


Bake for 30 mins or until cooked.


Enjoy!
