ROSE TEA CHIFFON CAKE RECIPE
January 23, 2018
This Rose Tea Chiffon Cake recipe carries a beautiful, subtle flavour of rose tea and is perfect for those without a sweet tooth. I decorated the cake with raspberry cream and topped it with rose buds for a vintage look.
I've been wanting to experiment with baking different kinds of tea-flavoured chiffon cakes. As I recently purchased some rose tea buds, I thought they'd make for an interesting chiffon cake flavour!
If you are wondering, this cake doesn't taste anything like a bandung cake. It carries the unique, floral flavour of rose tea, without being overwhelmingly strong.
I baked this chiffon cake in my new extra tall chiffon cake pan! After seeing a couple of gorgeous tall chiffon cakes baked by others online, my heart was won over and I had to order the cake pan to experiment for myself.
As the cake pan is extra tall, I had to increase the baking time slightly to make sure it is fully cooked throughout. What do you think of the extra tall chiffon cakes? I'm definitely a fan!

Hey Erika! I recently came across your website and everything looks delicious!! Yes, the extra tall chiffon cakes are downright gorgeous! I would totally buy if I had the money LOL. I also had some questions about this recipe.
ReplyDelete1. For the recipe, in case I can't find any caster sugar and cake flour, what can I use to replace it? For caster sugar, would regular sugar be fine or would a finer sugar (like powdered sugar or confectioner sugar) work? For cake flour, is it fine to substitute it with regular flour instead? If I remember correctly, cake flour makes the cake more moist and I guess spongier?
2. In your directions, you said to pour the tea into 3. By 3, you meant step 3 right? Or would I add it into the egg, sugar, and vegetable mixture?
3. How long will the cake keep in the fridge? Would it keep for about a week in the refrigerator?
Thank you for providing us with this wonderful recipe!
Hi Jenny, thank you for your comment! With regards to your enquiries:
Delete1. Please use caster sugar as this gives the best results for the meringue. You'll need to use fine, granulated sugar, which is caster sugar. Cake flour helps to make the cake fluffier, and I think there are ways to substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour.
2. Yes, add to the egg, sugar, and oil mixture. Thanks for spotting my typo!
3. It can last for a few days in the fridge, stored in an airtight container :)
Hope the cake turns out well for you!
Really looking fwd to trying this cake. Is it possible to make it in an 8inch round cake Pan? Can you share the measurements for it?

ReplyDeleteI am one of the students who totally needs project assignment help, but the Rosewater Wine Butterfly has an enchanting method of making desserts. Can't someone walk me through the process at least? I am eager to do some digging and flaunt my skills in producing this scintillating dish as my last coursework. If it is possible for you to give me any lead or tips that will be very much appreciated! Thank you all for your prompt and efficient assistance.
My experience has been life changing. I was moved from overwhelming despair to incredible relief in 4 days. Mr. JERRY asked me four questions and took five minutes to determine I was qualified for an excellent fix. he explained clearly and thoroughly the process him and his team use to completely protect me from the predatory creditors. he told me exactly what I must do within the program. he offered me reasonable payments in a comfortable time frame. my specialist answered every question I had, which gave me peace of mind I have lacked for years. jerry’s simple and transparent plan has changed my life for the better immediately. reach him on jerrylinkcreditgroup at g mail dot com, I so recommend them for quick fix.
