Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 10-inch tube pan by greasing and flouring it lightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the vegetable oil, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup of sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
-
In a small bowl, prepare the instant custard mix according to package instructions.
-
Pour half of the chiffon cake batter into the prepared tube pan. Drizzle half of the prepared custard over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and custard.
-
Using a knife, gently swirl the custard into the batter to create a marbled effect.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Before serving, dust the Merelyn Custard Chiffon Cake with confectioners' sugar for an elegant finish.
