Rainbow Angel Food Cake

(Recipe) Rainbow Angel food cake using natural coloring from @suncorefoods!
My first time trying out deco-angel food cake. Very glad it worked out! Texture is light and airy.

Rainbow Angel Food Cake
1 cup cake flour (120g)
¾ cup caster sugar (150g)
½ tsp (2g) salt

10 egg whites (360g)
1/3 cup caster sugar (150g)
1.5 tsp cream of tartar 96g)
2 tsp vanilla extract (10g)

@suncorefoods cerise prickly pear, yellow safflower, blue spirulina, jade matcha, ebony carrot for the rainbow colors

Pulse cake flour with ¾ cup caster sugar and salt till fine and powdery.
In a clean mixing bowl, whisk egg whites with cream of tartar till frothy. Add in ¾ cup caster sugar gradually and whisk till firm peaks. Beat in vanilla extract till just combined.
Fold the powdery dry mixture into the meringue in 3 additions. Before the mixture is completely folded, divide the mixture into 5 and fold in the rainbow color powders (I used blue and yellow to make green).

Pipe rainbow colored batter into a 6” square tube pan, as well as heart-shaped and round baking cups to make the ‘lollipops’. Bake the tube pan at 150C for 50+min and the cupcakes for 18min. Pour leftover yellow batter into cake pop molds to bake the ‘unicorn’ (18 mins).
Assemble the rainbow angel cake using marshmallow glue. Enjoy! =)

With love,

Susanne

Arching Rainbow Chiffon Cake

 

A soaring rainbow on the side of the chiffon cake, topped by another chiffon cake rainbow (from first Chiffon cake cookbook). This creation was made a few months back, inspired by God's promises for us, and also was for Creme de la Creme, our Singapore baking show where I was very honored and thankful to appear as a guest judge on Episode 4. Even though the world changes due to COVID, I hope that we can remember the promise and hope from the Rainbow. 

I am thinking of sharing and teaching this cake as an item on Howtocakeit in the coming months. Apologies for the less blogging and other activity too. I have been feeling a little tired with family commitments and also busy with teaching. 

Meanwhile, you can check out my Rainbow chiffon cake online class (also a white cake recipe) and cookbooks here on Rainbow here first.

Everyone do take care and pace yourself! *hugs*

With lots of love,

Susanne

Rainbow Hurricane Chiffon Cake

Rainbow Hurricane or Rainbow Layer Chiffon Cake? 🌈 Which do you prefer? = )

Hope these rainbows bring some cheer to you during this time! *hugs*

Do take care during this time, take time to breathe, and it's a great bonding time with your family too. We may never get this much time again to focus on them.

Back to the cakes, the Rainbow Hurricane Chiffon Cake is actually quite similar to my Rainbow Tiedye Chiffon Cake I made a few years back, but an inverted version, and using a broader spatula.

Recipe for the Rainbow layer chiffon cake has been shared in Creative baking: Chiffon Cakes, and in fact it was on the book cover!

Lastly, I have also made a longer, more in-depth tutorial for the Rainbow Hurricane Chiffon Cake if you prefer class style where you can bake along!

Hope they made you smile!

Powerpuff Girls 20th Anniversary Chiffon Cake

Super honoured and thankful to be commissioned by Cartoon Network to make a Powerpuff Girls Cake for their 20th Anniversary!! Love those girls who save the world! Really thank God the cake was well-received by Cartoon Network! You can see their Instagram and FB posts here.

You can imagine how surprised I was and very thankful. The chiffon cake was lots of hard work though, taking over a week to design and make, including 1 remake. Really really thank God it worked out! Hope you like this labour of love too! <3

I have shared recipe for Tri-colour Rainbow Chiffon Cake before here. This is a big 10-inch chiffon cake, so the recipe is multiplied by 3. Baking conditions for 10-inch: 15 min at 160°C, 10 min at 150°C and then at 140°C for 1 hr.

The Powerpuff girls were the difficult part of the creation because of all the details. Briefly, the face was made by piping chiffon cake batter in glass bowls, so the features were baked into them (protocol follow Hello kitty chiffon cupcakes). The body was made from baking a mini striped chiffon cake in a cupcake liner. Other details are cut from sheet cakes (eg the hair) and shaped and also cut from cake pops. These were glued on using melted marshmallows. For step-by-step pics of these techniques, you can refer to Deco Chiffon Cake Basics cookbook (book cover below). I think in all I had like 12 bowls of different colours and shades of chiffon cake batter! 

Here is the shot right after I sliced into the cake =). Very stressful to slice always hehe.

Cut slices!

Just to mention here, the cut slices inside the rainbow chiffon cake are not straight, this is due to the expansion effect within the tube pan and it's normal! =) I had many people ask me that they cannot get straight lines inside the rainbow chiffon cake. Actually It's perfectly normal! =)

Hope you like this labour of love too!

With lots of love,

Susanne

My Little Pony Rainbow Chiffon Cake

Unicorns and rainbows are always loved by little girls! I have made several versions of unicorns with rainbows. This is a My Little Pony-inspired Rainbow Chiffon Cake which I have always wanted to try =).

For top tier, you can refer to my previous creation, ‘Unicorn’ Soy Milk Chiffon Cake. It is similar except the eyes here are big and dewy!

The bottom tier is my signature Rainbow Chiffon Cake that is on the cover of my first cookbook Creative baking, Chiffon Cakes (bottom right). The detailed recipe is inside.

Have a blessed week! I was on staycation, so not really very functional yet =p. Glad the exams are over!

With lots of love,
Susanne
