I love chocolatey / dark colour of chocolate cake, however, here mine not so dark compare to hers. Anybody maybe would like to share on your experience or tips on how to get a darker chocolate cake.

  2. Hi DG,
    The cake looks so delicious. I'll definitely try it soon. I tried baking chocolate chiffon once and it turned out tall and steady but there were still a few spots of egg whites so the cake looked weird with white spots on brown face. I guess I did a poor job mixing and blending. But your recipe sounds great. Double chocolate is double pleasure for my elder son, who is a fan of chocolate :).
    Thank you for sharing.

  8. Thanks Izahdaut, Chiffon ini bener bener enak! Boleh coba, anak2x pasti suka :)

    RPVN,
    Thank you. From my experience to make chiffon, I prefer to beat the egg whites upto soft or medium peak, but not stiff peak, as I found the former is easier to blend with the egg yolk batter. Try again with this recipe, your son & family will certainly enjoy this :)

    Joseline, Busygran and Love2Cook,
    Thank you for kind words :))

    Coraine,
    Thanks, in fact I was scared too when did the folding, but I just lucky with the end result that the choc chips floating :)
