Maple flavour chiffon! I bet it's very flavourful. You've baked very beautiful chiffon, it raise up very high and you unmold it very nicely. Good job!

Hi Happy Homebaker and Anncoo,

Thanks for your nice words. :)

Hi Kitchen Corner, Dainty and Small Small Baker,

Thanks, I baked this upon my son requested. He love the taste of maple syrup. I used 'Mountain Valley' maple syrup so the cake has a light aroma and taste of maple syrup. If you used better quality maple syrup, it would be better.

hi, you make very nice chiffon! mind if i ask you how you manage to unmould the cake with the browned side still intact? thanks

Happy Flour said...

Hi Yin,

Thanks for your compliment. I just lay the pan on it side, use a thin sharp knife press it against the side of the tube pan and go around it slowly and the chiffon cake will come out easily. Your chiffon cake must be well bake then it will be easier removed.

thanks for your reply. i always use a palette knife but always came out very ugly. do you do the same for the bottom as well? also, when you pour in the mixture, do you turn the pan to ensure the mixture is evenly poured into the pan? thank you.

Hi yin,

For the bottom, lay the pan flat and press the knife against the bottom of the tube pan and go around it slowly and the chiffon cake will come out easily. I just pour in the batter and use a spatula to level it. You can move the tube pan around when pouring the batter into the tube pan and level the surface. If you worry uneven, use a chopstick to stir around the batter.

Hi thank you for sharing the lovely recipe. My daughter loved it! Unfortunately, I didn't do a good job unmolding it.
