Dear Happy Flour,
Love the colour of your chiffon cake. Would like to make a similar one with strawberry flavour instead. Can you please tell me if you used pureed fresh raspberries or preserves (jam) for your filling ?
Many thanks, Dorie....DownUnder

Hi Kitchen Corner,

Don't give up. Maybe the problem it not lie on you, check your oven.

Hi Happy Homebaker,

Thanks for your compliment.

Hi Dorie,

Thanks. Raspberry filling is like jam in a concentrated form, used for pie/pastry/swiss roll filling. You can refer to Raspberry Konnyaku Jelly.

Hi danny kwok,

It taste ok to me. It smell sweet but the raspberry flavour is very mild. I should add raspberry essence, unfortunately I don't have that hehehe.

8. Fold in 1/4 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
9. Then fold in the rest of the meringue lightly in 3 portions until well combined.
The step 9, a bit confuse, is to add egg yolks (which has 1/4 egg white) to the balance of egg white?

Hi Ean,

Just fold in the rest of the meringue lightly in 3 portions into the egg yolk batter until well combined.
