This recipe was first published on my Facebook page in August, 2014 (see my post here). I shared all my pictures and recipes initially on my page but then I started to realize that it was quite inconvenient for me or my readers to look for a particular recipe. Finally I purchased my own domain name in November and created my personal website. I was never good at computer and had no previous blogging skills. It took me a couple of weeks to develop my blog from scratch and to transfer all existing contents there. This was actually one of the recipes that I forgot to switch over to my blog. Although the recipe was missing, it was hidden as I used it as the cake base for some of my mousse cake recipes (read about my blog posts, Joconde Imprime with Dark Chocolate Mousse and Strawberry Yogurt Cheesecake Entremet, Chocolate Dome (Caramelized Banana and Dark Chocolate Mousse Dome), Blueberry and White Chocolate Mousse Cake, and White Chocolate Mousse Cake (Frozen Themed).
這是2014年8月於Facebook專頁內分享的食譜(詳情請到這裡)，初時所有照片和食譜都在專頁內發表，後來發覺搜尋食譜極不方便，最終決定於11月註冊並購買網域名稱正式成立個人網站。因為不諳電腦和網站建構，EC足足花了數星期學習和逐一為舊有食譜搬家，而朱古力戚風蛋糕正是其中一個漏網之魚。雖說EC遺忘了它，但在其他慕絲蛋糕食譜內仍能找到其蹤影，詳情可到法式甜品：朱古力慕絲配士多啤梨乳酪芝士蛋糕，朱古力巨蛋(焦糖香蕉+黑朱古力慕絲半圓蛋糕)，藍莓白朱古力慕絲蛋糕和白朱古力慕絲蛋糕(Frozen主題)。
The recipe was adapted from Vanilla Chiffon Cake. At first (like four years ago) I only replaced a quarter of the flour with cocoa powder. But then I realized that the fat in the cocoa powder had caused the meringue to deflate at a much quicker rate during folding, resulting in a runnier batter and shorter cake. I fixed this issue by reducing the amount of oil by 20%. The sugar amount has also been increased as cocoa powder tastes bitter. You may find that this recipe contains slightly more sugar than the ones found above. I have purposefully used less sugar when the cake is used as a cake base. Without that extra sugar, the cake will be too bitter when eaten alone (especially for younger kids or if you have a sweet tooth). My final remark about this recipe is that this cake tastes best if you could patiently wait and eat it the next day (this actually applies to all cakes). I keep my cake in an airtight container and let it sit in the fridge overnight. By that time the texture has stabilized and the flavor has developed. Your cake will taste a lot better whether you eat it chilled or at room temperature. I have used just enough sugar to balance out the bitterness from the cocoa powder. You may find the cake taste bitter if you eat it right away after cooling.
食譜變化自雲尼拿戚風蛋糕。最初(即四年前)EC只是把四份一麵粉量換作可可粉，但原來拌入蛋白霜後可可粉的脂肪能令蛋白霜快速消泡！蛋糕糊變得稀稀的，在爐中也長得不高，後來減掉兩成油量才改善了狀況。此外，由於無糖可可粉味道苦，此蛋糕的糖量亦比其他口味戚風蛋糕多。 也許大家會發現以下食譜比上面連結內的朱古力戚風蛋糕食譜糖量稍多，這是因為以上食譜均作為蛋糕底，EC編寫食譜時特意減少了糖量。糖量不夠的話，光吃戚風蛋糕時味道是苦苦的，小孩子與嗜甜者大慨都會接受不了。 最後EC建議蛋糕焗好放涼後先不要心急馬上切來吃。戚風蛋糕(其實所有蛋糕皆是)放置到第二天才是最好吃的，脫模後可用密封盒盛好，放在雪櫃冷藏過夜，這時蛋糕組織穩定了，味道又融合了，蛋糕不論凍吃或室溫吃都更美味。此蛋糕糖量僅僅平衡可可粉，放涼後立刻切件食用的話蛋糕味道會帶苦。
Special thanks to Ronny who told me that he was unable to locate my chocolate chiffon cake recipe. I have reformatted the content and all pictures were taken last week. Now I am proud to share with you one of my favorite chiffon cake recipes. I hope my readers will enjoy this cake as much as I do!
在此特別鳴謝Ronny告之EC找不到朱古力戚風蛋糕食譜。現在做法巳重新編寫，照片亦是上星期拍攝的。這是EC最愛的戚風蛋糕之一，現在總算為蛋糕重新給予一個名分了。希望大家跟EC同樣喜愛此蛋糕吧！
Chocolate Chiffon Cake
朱古力戚風蛋糕
For 6” extra tall or 7″ tube pan
6″加高或7”戚風模份量
Ingredients
56 g cake and pastry flour
24 g unsweetened cocoa powder
A pinch of salt
4 egg yolks, large
55 g milk
35 g grapeseed oil
4 egg whites, large
1/2 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice (I use Korean apple vinegar)
65 g granulated sugar (I used organic sugar)
Notes: The eggs I use are about 50 g each without shells.
材料
低筋麵粉 56克
無糖可可粉 24克
鹽 少許
大蛋蛋黃 4個
牛奶 55克
葡萄籽油 35克
大蛋蛋白 4個
白醋或檸檬汁(EC用韓國蘋果醋) 1/2茶匙
細砂糖(EC用有機蔗糖) 65克
註：EC用的大蛋每隻淨重約50克
Directions 做法
Preheat oven to 325ºF/160ºC.
焗爐預熱325ºF/160ºC。
Sift flour, cocoa powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center then pour in the egg yolks, milk and oil. Whisk gently until incorporated. Set aside.
低筋麵粉，可可粉和鹽混合過篩放入鋼盆中，中開一穴後倒入蛋黃，牛奶和油，輕手用蛋拂攪拌均勻成蛋黃糊備用。
Place egg whites and vinegar in another clean mixing bowl (I usually wipe the bowl and the wire beater with paper towel dampened with vinegar or lemon juice to remove traces of grease). With a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar in batches and continue beating until glossy and firm peaks form. When you lift up the whisk, the peak will hold its shape with a small, pointy tip with minimal flopping.
把蛋白和醋放入另一清潔的鋼盆中(EC習慣把鋼盆及打蛋器配件預先用廚房紙沾檸檬汁或白醋抹一次去除殘餘油份)，用電動打蛋器或座枱式攪拌器(使用打蛋器配件)將蛋白打至蛋白組織變細密，分次加糖打至有光澤及企身，蛋白霜拉起時呈小尖角而末端僅輕微下垂狀。
Scoop about one third of the meringue into the yolk batter and fold with a whisk to lighten. Then scrape this back into the bowl of meringue. Fold gently and thoroughly (so you don’t deflate the meringue) with a spatula until homogeneous.
將三分一蛋白霜混入蛋黃糊中用蛋拂以切拌方法充份拌勻，再倒回蛋白霜鋼盆中輕手用膠刮以切拌方法混合至麵糊成均一顔色，盡量輕手並快手完成混合以免蛋白霜消泡。
Pour batter into an unprepared tube pan. Tap pan against the kitchen countertop several times to get rid of any large air bubbles. Smooth top with an offset spatula.
將麵糊倒入戚風模中(模內不用抹油掃粉)，將烤模往枱上輕敲幾下敲出較大的氣泡後抹平表面。
Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of cake comes out clean. Every oven is different so adjust baking time accordingly. Drop cake pan on the kitchen countertop at a distance upon removal from the oven. This will release any gas trapped in the cake cells and minimize shrinkage. Invert pan on a wire rack to cool completely before unmolding.
入爐焗約35分鐘或至竹籤插入蛋糕中心取出後不沾麵糊，不同焗爐可能要不同時間，請自行調節，取出後將蛋糕連烤模從半空往枱上捽一下將困於蛋糕內的空氣震破避免蛋糕回縮，在鋼架上倒扣放涼後可脫模。
This was baked in a 6″ extra tall tube pan.
6″加高戚風模製作。
