6 Flavour Rainbow Hearts Chiffon Cake


My newest labour of love! A dream rainbow chiffon cake with 6 flavours embedded into the cake (and also a heart in every slice)! :) It all started because I was asking my hubby which flavour he would like the chiffon and this is the result!

I drew up a 6-sector wheel and designed in the flavours according to their natural colours: Red (red bean), Orange (orange), Yellow (lemon), Green (matcha), Blue (berries - required the most colours), Purple (strawberry-beet). Below describes the basic recipe/sequence of how it's done. Do allocate at least 2.5-3 hrs for this cake! It's time-consuming but pretty rewarding to see the end result! :)

Enjoy the cake with many flavours! On the suggestions of some good friends, I cut a horizontal slice across the cake to get a slice with all 6 flavours. I was really happy my hubby said it was a fun cake and could taste all 6 flavours! This will probably be one of my favourite creations for a long time!


Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

The cake and picture tutorials is now in Creative Baking: Chiffon Cakes now at all major bookstores!


And here's my first humble video tutorial for the cake. My hubby actually helped me a lot for this video thanks to him!


With lots of love,
Susanne

    1. Dear Adam,
      Sorry I didn't take pics as the assembly is a bit messy and has to be done quickly so I didn't dare risk the batter deflating or the sectors ruining.
      Maybe a better way to describe is to arrange the cut out layer cakes like spokes of a wheel. Then you scoop the batter in, balancing the sectors.
      Hope it clarifies?
      Thanks
