Earl Grey Chiffon Cake
Full recipe (both ingredients and procedure):
tinyurl.com/y3...
Angle Cake Tube Pan
Unfortunately, my cake pan predates amazon and it has no brand written on it, but it looks very much like this one, minus the feet:
amzn.to/2O69Jpa
Even if your pan has the feet, use the bottle to cool the cake as the center piece has a tendency to fall down.
5 oz Baking Cups:
amzn.to/2O9kyqn
* * *
For the tea (to use in both batter and icing)
3 Tbsp high quality loose leaf Earl Grey tea. Tea bags will not work since the tea leaves have to be large and not ground up.
2 cups boiling water
* * *
For the cake
Dry ingredients
256 grams cake flour (9 oz )
285 grams granulated sugar (10 oz )
1 Tbsp baking powder (14.7 grams)
1 tsp table salt or 2 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher salt (5.7 grams)
Wet ingredients
5 large egg yolk (about 90g)
177g freshly brewed and cooled earl gray tea (3/4 cups)
112g vegetable oil (1/2 cup )
1 tsp vanilla
Whipped egg whites
8 large egg whites (about 240g)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
57 grams granulated sugar (2 oz)
* * *
For the icing
90g freshly brewed and cooled earl gray tea (6 Tbsp)
1 tsp unflavored gelatin
1 tsp vanilla
464g cold heavy cream (2 cups)
56 grams sifted powdered sugar or to taste (2 oz)

Another excellent video, can't wait to try this! :) One note from a professional baker... tube/Bundt pans are used for batters where batter has a much higher ratio of liquid because the center wouldn't set in a regular pan. The hole allows heat to flow through the center so it cooks in the middle. :) You can always cook a regular cake in a tube/Bundt pan (for less time), but you can never cook a recipe designed for a tube/Bundt pan in a regular pan because the outside would be long burned before the center completed cooking (if it even did).

You were born a teacher. I’m making your pelmini tomorrow. I’m 72 and been in love with pelmini since I was 6. At the moment drooling over your brown butter recipe. What a genius idea. I’d always had it in a broth. I’m very happy I found your RU-vid channel. Disclaimer: if I have a heart attack and died due to over indulgence of butter in near future. You are not to be blamed or feel bed about it. It would only say that I finally found my true love. “ perfect pelmini”. Thanks for all your instructions.

I’m happy to see you separating eggs this way. It’s how we did it in the bakery where I worked. We would do a case of eggs at a time scooping out the yolks one after the other and putting them in a container. Any yolk that broke could easily be scooped out with an ladle.

One of the nice things about cooking as a male is I get credit for the effort even though the result will not be as attractive as yours Helen, so I should be OK with applying the icing. I even have the offset spatulas!! Thanks!

Feet aren't always useless. My 10 inch tube pan has feet at the same height as the center tube, so I can use a platter to invert it without having the cake fall out, and the feet keep it up.

I love a good story, and once, Earl Gray tea ( until I read of the carcinogenic properties of Oil of Bergamot) and a good cake , something new and different. Having no oven at the moment is my saviour of the weight reduction efforts since discovering your channel yesterday while searching for the Piroski that the mother of a Polish friend from years back used to make. Friends change when you move and the right recipes never appear. A meat Piroski. Dill, I think was the herb that made all the difference. So, in the light of chiffon cakes I am thinking of Polish cooking . It's a lovely birthday cake idea. One day with a new oven, I will try it, birthday or not.

@LaDivinaLover 4 года назад

I don’t know where you read that about bergamot, But it’s complete bullshit lol. FYI There was a “study” last year posted in the AMJ of all things that stated drinking purified water could cause cancer. The catch being you had to drink 600 litres per day for the ppm of whatever substance it was to be carcinogenic. I don’t know about you but I don’t know any human being who could physically drink 600 liters of water in a day without literally drowning. I’d advise taking everything with a grain of salt... People have been drinking bergamot infused drinks for millennia and there have been exactly zero major connections between it and cancer.

@helenrennie 5 лет назад

@pinkmonkeybird2644 2 года назад

You are right; I’ve made a number of earl grey tea cakes too, and Helen’s recipe is the best! It hits all the right notes of richness, bergamot and black tea flavor, plus it has the best cake texture. CookingTree has some delicious variations on early grey cake that are worth making as well. I noticed a big difference in intensity of flavor when I used the best loose earl grey tea leaves I could find - it should be tea that you enjoy drinking. Regardless, this is a fabulous recipe, and my daughter alternates between asking for this or matcha cheesecake for celebrations.

@topservicegabor 4 года назад

Hi, I made the cake but I had trouble with the icing.. I did everything according to your recipe, but my tea-gelatin mix turned to gel before it cooled down to 70F. I still put it into the heavy crem (which started to thicken) along with the sugar but it never thickened enough and remained liquidy. I tried to mix it more but it turned to a buttery thing. Can you help me what could be the problem?

@helenrennie 4 года назад

Sorry the icing gave you trouble. It can be a little tricky. Here are some possible solutions. Stir the tea mixture a few times as it cools. You'll need to avoid the situation where parts of it start to gel while the rest doesn't seem cool enough. If you get any gelling, set it in a bow of warm water just until it remelts, but not enough to warm it up. If it gels at all, it will not integrate into the cream, so go by the texture (it still needs to be liquid) more than the temperature. Of course, you don't want it to be too warm because warm cream won't whip. As far as the cream goes, it's important for everything to be cold and don't be afraid to use high speed on your mixer (this helps you get it done faster before the cream warms up). It's also important that the whip on your mixer reaches all the way down. What kind of mixer are you using? I recently posted a video on how to adjust your mixer bowl that might be helpful. If you have any follow up questions, feel free to e-mail me at helenrennie@gmail.com RU-vid doesn't make it easy for me to see replies to comments, so if we need to go back and forth a little to troubleshoot your problem, it's easier to do it by e-mail

@valeriakrivelevich9223 5 лет назад

#realcomment Helen, do you think it would work to cut the cake in half horizontally to add another layer of icing? Thank you!

@helenrennie 5 лет назад

Yes it would. some people even cut it into 3 layers, but you'll get an insanely tall cake and you might want to make extra frosting for the inside.

@helenrennie 4 года назад

can you ask someone else to help you? I don't know of any other way to fold.

@Arberin Год назад

If you're planning on making this think twice about adding the tea leaves. Some tea leaves sold in stores still have stems and other tough bits that will make the cake unpleasant to eat.

@trumpeteralex 5 лет назад

#realcomment The earl grey tea seems like a really good idea. I recently made an angel food cake (not the same as a chiffon cake, I know, but nonetheless, that texture and sugar remind me of one) and apart from it continuously growing in the oven, meaning I couldn't flip over the thing, I was really put off by the sweetness. This makes me more likely to try this one - maybe for an upcoming birthday! Also just wanted to say that the new camera angle from the top was interesting! At least, I'm pretty sure I've never seen a downward angle before on this channel. Though I have to say, the first angle of the stand mixer was not the greatest - I would have preferred the angle to be as you showed later on, i.e. from the side. Maybe if that angle was showed for a second before lifting it, but like this, there was a bit too much of an emphasis on the head of the stand mixer, which wasn't really the point. Clearly it was because moving the camera was probably not convenient, but anyway, just thought I'd voice my opinion. Thank you again for an awesome video - I missed your videos during the summer!

@ZefixYT 2 года назад

Dear Helen, did that cake for my mum on mothers day last sunday (she's an Earl Grey and a cake lover ^^). She loved it! Thank you for your recipie(s). Without a proper form i had to MacGyver it in a springform pan with some carefully placed baking sheet clamped in to make it the right hight - but it worked out well. And while i was a fair bit nervous with the bottle-trick it went well too.

@shailajachadha6540 2 года назад

Hi Helen! I absolutely love your videos -- your choux/eclairs recipe was amazing and my eclairs were perfect! I'm a vegetarian and was wondering what you recommend I use to sub gelatin? I have both agar agar and carrageenan (and can purchase something else if you recommend it). I'm worried carrageenan won't firm up as much as gelatin, but I'm also worried agar will be too firm and take away from the fluffy creamy texture. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

@rohanlg790 3 года назад

The main flavour component in earl Grey tea is Bergamont essential oil. You can add a few extra drops of that and will intensify the flavour by a lot more than making strong tea
