sporadic ramblings

It has been a rather chill-out weekend. I spent it doing the laundry, going fishing, and baking. Sometimes that's all you need to do for a great weekend. It's good for both the pocket and the soul. I made a chiffon cake yesterday. It was my mum's recipe, and here it is:

Pandan Chiffon Cake

Ingredients:
7 egg yolks
9 egg whites
5 oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
8 oz sugar
8 oz coconut cream
1 oz vegetable oil
1 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp pandan essence

Method:
1. Beat egg yolks with sugar until sugar melts. Add coconut cream and pandan essence. Add in flour and baking powder slowly. Then add oil into the mixture and mix well.
2. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until very stiff and immediately fold into mixture of egg yolk & flour. Pour resulting mixture into ungreased tube tin.
3. Bake in preheated oven at 180c for 1 hour. Remove & invert immediately. Allow cake to hang in tin and remove from tin when cooled.

It was absolutely yummy if I do say so myself. Teehee. Because the tin has to be ungreased, it's a little bit of a pain trying to remove it from the tin. My baking ineptitude has caused chunks of cake to come off when i tried to remove it, but hey, who cares what it looks like if it tastes good, right? (Not really. I was a little disappointed.)

P.S. I lost the pictures of this culinary masterpiece =(
