Pistachio & Raspberry Chiffon Cake @ Junko Fukuda


25 Aug 2010

Tried out another chiffon cake recipe from Junko Fukuda. This recipe is another keeper with my favourite ingredients in it - Pistachio and Raspberry. The cake was soft and light with the right level of sweetness. The colour was pretty too...

Such a nice combination of chiffon! I can see the perfect texture in your chiffon. I already bookmark this, sure will bake this one day. Thanks for sharing the recipe :) Btw, did you grind your own the ground pistacio?

Hi DG,

Thanks for your comment. I used a chopper to grind the pistachio nuts till very fine.

Hi, I would like to ask if I could use a normal cake pan for this recipe instead of chiffon pan? Would the bake time be the same? Thanks!

Yes, I think you can. Just note to line the base of the tin only and leave the side clear.
