      • 50g vegetable oil

     

      • 5 eggs, separated
      • 20g + 50g sugar (divided)
      • 84g cake flour

     

      • 2g salt
      • 2ml lemon juice
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

     

    Instructions

    Prepare Ingredients:

      1. Ensure milk and eggs are at room temperature.
      2. Preheat your oven to 150°C (302°F).

    Mix Wet Ingredients:

      1. In a bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg yolks, and 20g of sugar.
      2. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

    Sift Dry Ingredients:

      1. Sift the cake flour and salt into the wet mixture.
      2. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

    Beat Egg Whites:

      1. In a separate, clean, and dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy.
      2. Add the lemon juice and gradually add the remaining 50g of sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

    Combine Mixtures:

      1. Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
      2. Then, fold in the remaining egg whites carefully until no white streaks remain.

    Bake:

      1. Pour the batter into an 8-inch ungreased silicone or aluminum chiffon cake mold.
      2. Tap the mold lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.

     

    1. Bake in the preheated oven at 150°C (302°F) for about 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool and Demold:

      1. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and invert the mold to cool completely. This prevents the cake from collapsing.

     

    1. Demold the cake only when it is completely cool.

    Tips

      • Milk and eggs should be at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter and proper rise.
      • Adjust the baking temperature according to your oven. Bake at 150°C (302°F) for the best results.

      • Do not use non-stick molds or baking paper for chiffon cakes. Silicone or aluminum molds work best.
      • Ensure the container and whisk used for beating the egg whites are free from any water and oil to achieve stiff peaks.
      • Allow the cake to cool completely before demolding to maintain its structure.

     

    Serving Suggestions

    • Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries.
    • Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.

      • 2 cups warm milk: Activates the yeast and helps create a soft, tender dough.
      • 1 cup of oil: Adds moisture and richness to the dough, making it soft and flavorful.
      • 1 tablespoon dry yeast: The leavening agent that helps the bread rise and gives it a light texture.

     

    • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar: Feeds the yeast and adds a slight sweetness to the bread.
    • 1 teaspoon salt: Enhances the flavor of the bread and balances the sweetness.

    For Boiling the Dough:

      • 2.5 – 3 liters of water: Enough to submerge the dough completely during the boiling process.

     

    • 1 teaspoon salt: Adds flavor to the boiling water, which helps season the bread as it cooks.

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Dough:
        • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.

        • Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

       

    3. Shape the Dough:
        • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the size of the bread you want to make.
        • Shape each portion into a round or oval loaf.

       

    4. Boil the Dough:
        • Bring 2.5 – 3 liters of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add the teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
        • Carefully place the shaped dough portions into the boiling water, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

       

      • Boil each portion for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they puff up slightly and become firm.
    5. Finish the Bread:
        • Remove the boiled dough from the water using a slotted spoon and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased surface.

       

      • Let the boiled dough cool slightly before slicing or serving.
    6. Serve and Enjoy:
      • This bread is best enjoyed warm, fresh from the pot. Serve it with butter, jam, or as a base for sandwiches. The unique texture and flavor will make this a favorite in your household.

    Ingredients

    For the Cherry Jam:

      • 500 g frozen cherries

     

      • 70 g (6 tablespoons / 2.5 oz) cornstarch
      • 150 g (0.8 cups / 5 oz) sugar
      • 150 ml (0.7 cups / 5 oz) water

    For the Cake Batter:

      • 3 egg yolks
      • A pinch of salt

     

      • 80 g (6 tablespoons / 2.8 oz) powdered sugar
      • 80 g (1 stick) melted butter
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

     

    • 200 g flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    Instructions

    Preparing the Cherry Jam
      1. Combine Ingredients:
          • In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen cherries, sugar, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

         

      2. Cook the Mixture:
        • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cherries have released their juices and the sugar has dissolved completely.

     

      1. Thicken the Jam:
        • In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water to make a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the cherry mixture, stirring constantly.
        • Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

     

    1. Cool the Jam:
      • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cherry jam cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
    Making the Cake Batter
      1. Prepare the Egg Yolks:
          • In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with a pinch of salt until they become pale and creamy.

         

      2. Add Sugar and Butter:
          • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the egg yolks, continuing to beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
          • Slowly pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.

         

      3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
        • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.

     

    1. Mix the Batter:
      • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
    Assembling and Baking the Cake
      1. Preheat the Oven:
          • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a round cake tin with parchment paper.

         

      2. Layer the Batter and Jam:
          • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared tin and spread it evenly.
          • Spoon the cooled cherry jam over the batter, spreading it evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.

         

        • Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading it gently to cover the jam layer completely.
      3. Bake the Cake:
          • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

         

      4. Cool the Cake:
        • Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

     

    Finishing Touches
    1. Optional Decoration:
      • Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant finish. Alternatively, you can drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and a little lemon juice for added flavor.

    Cooking Tips

      1. Cherries: If fresh cherries are in season, feel free to use them instead of frozen. Just pit them first.

     

      1. Jam Consistency: Ensure the cherry jam is thickened properly; otherwise, it can make the cake soggy.
      2. Butter: Use unsalted butter to control the salt content in the recipe.
      3. Batter Spreading: Be gentle when spreading the top layer of batter to avoid mixing it with the jam.

     

    Nutritional Benefits

    • Cherries: Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, cherries provide a tart flavor and numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation.
    • Yogurt: Adding yogurt to desserts boosts their protein and calcium content while keeping them moist.
    • Egg Yolks: A good source of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids.
