My 1" high Matcha chiffon with choc chips! =P

i'm so excited to try baking another chiffon cake after last week's attempt. Hehehe - wanna explore other combination and came by hhb's matcha chiffon ! i'm such impressed with her creativity!

hmm, as i am using a 8inch tube pan (20cm compared to hhb's recipe which is using 16cm)- i am prepared to bake something rather flat with hhb's recipe. Hehee.. and also, rather then having a fluffy feel of chiffon, i decided to use cake flour to have another type of taste... just that what i have used for my pandan cake.

here's the recipe from hhb's blog;

Matcha Chiffon Cake with Chocolate Chips

Ingredients(make one 16cm cake) - i have used a 8"/20cm tube pan
1 tablespoon green tea powder
30ml milk
2 egg yolks
20g caster sugar
20ml vegetable oil - i have used olive oil
40g self-raising flour - i have used cake flour

2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
50g caster sugar

some dark chocolate chips

Method:

1. Sieve flour and green tea powder together, set aside.
2. Separate egg yolks/whites and bring to room temperature.
3. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl until sugar just dissolved. Add in milk and oil. Whisk till combined. Sieve over the flour and green tea powder mixture and fold gently with a spatula until flour mixture is fully incorporated into the batter.
4. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until mixture becomes frothy and foamy. Add in the sugar in 3 separate additions while beating at high speed till stiff peaks form.
5. Add the egg white foam into the egg yolk batter in 3 separate additions, each time folding gently with a spatula until just blended.
6. Pour 1/3 of the batter into a 16cm (6 inch) tube pan (do not grease the pan). Sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter. Pour the remaining half of the batter. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Pour the rest of the batter into the pan. Spread the batter evenly.
7. Bake in pre-heated oven at 170 degC for 25 ~ 30mins or until the cake surface turns golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and invert the pan immediately. Let cool completely before unmould.
