This Pokeball Chiffon Cake fits nicely in the palm of your hand, like an actual Pokeball! Made from classic chiffon cake batter and baked in dome-shaped moulds to achieve the roundness. When baked, chiffon cakes are easy to handle for decoration.

These Pokeballs will be great for a Pokemon themed party too. I baked some pokemon macarons to accompany them. The recipe for the macarons will be up soon!



The most important thing about this recipe is the dome-shaped baking mould. I purchased mine from Qoo10 at a pretty affordable price. This mould is a good investment as it is also useful for making mini dome cakes or chocolate dome balls.

Pokemon trainers, do try this recipe out!
