Edit
Pandan chiffon cake hot from the oven is way improve than mutual frigidity pandan chiffon cake.
That's a fleck similar proverb Bill Gates is rich, or Angelina Jolie has thick lips. We all know that.
So when was the terminal fourth dimension you lot had pandan chiffon cake that was yet hot?
WHAT? You've e'er had PCC stone-cold?
Oh . . . my . . . God . . . Oh dear, POOR YOU!
Why don't you lot swallow the cake hot, or to the lowest degree warm?
Because you lot bake chiffon cakes inwards a chiffon pan, too those bring to endure cool earlier you lot tin unmould them?
Hey, ditch the chiffon pan! Let's bake cupcakes!
Small chiffon cupcakes tin endure much fluffier than large chiffon cakes baked inwards a subway pan. The taller too wider the cake is, the less fluffy it has to endure or it'll collapse.
A pan amongst a subway inwards the pump makes the cake narrow. But the "tube cake" is real tall compared to a cupcake. It must bring a denser construction than its pocket-size blood brother or it caves inwards afterwards it's removed from the oven. Hence, it can't endure every bit fluffy every bit a cupcake.
All cakes lose closed to of their fluffiness every bit they cool down. Those that bring butter or kokosnoot petroleum lose to a greater extent than because saturated fatty is liquid when hot but hardens every bit it cools down.
Pandan chiffon cakes made amongst kokosnoot milk are at their fluffiest when they're yet hot.
Not exclusively is pandan chiffon cake fluffier when it's hot, it's likewise to a greater extent than fragrant. And there's something close hot PCC, psychologically, that makes everyone become "Wow!" too "Oooh!"
My recipe comes amongst a warning: the pandan chiffon cupcakes crack. If at that topographic point aren't whatever cracks, too therefore the cakes aren't every bit fluffy every bit they should be.
The cracks closed upward ane time the cakes are removed from the oven but you'd yet run into the "scars". If you lot similar your cakes scarless, too therefore this recipe isn't for you. Or mayhap you lot could purpose icing saccharide every bit a concealer. A fleck of makeup e'er helps.
Do the cakes bring a sunken occur similar Hokkaido cupcakes? No. The occur should endure apartment or real slightly rounded, non caved in, afterwards the dome subsides.
Once you lot larn used to chiffon cake hot from the oven, you lot may never become dorsum to eating it cold. Unfortunately, no ane sells chiffon cakes hot. That agency every fourth dimension you lot desire to swallow chiffon cake, you lot bring to bake it yourself. Of course, if you're smart, you lot larn somebody to bake it for you. I justice I'm non therefore smart since I'm the ane who bakes.
