No Preservatives, no colouring, low fat...the lady over the counter even gently reminds you to refrigerate them should you not consume them within the day. All in the quest to maintain freshness. Rows and rows of these mini chiffon cakes are sold throughout the day, by the time the clock strikes 6-ish, not much choice is left.
Some additional nuggets of info about sponge and chiffon cake though till this very moment I was mistaken about certain things.
Myth: Sponge and chiffon are the same hence they can be used interchangeably..like how sponge to me used to be a huge umbrella of Japanese, Genoise...Victorian even!
Fact: Nope, they're as separate as black and white.
The category of foam cakes includes sponge, biscuit, roulades, genoise, chiffon, angel food, meringue, and dacquoise.These cakes have a high proportion of eggs to flour and are leavened solely (except chiffon cakes) by the air beaten into whole eggs or egg whites. They contain very little, if any, fat and have a spongy texture.
Banana Chiffon ($1.30)
Orange Chiffon ($1.30)
These are very light on the palette...both in terms of airyfairy feathery lightness and calorie intake. So light, you barely taste it, so light it comes across as a tad dry as compared to Bengawan Solo's famous export.
Orange was more outstanding with orange peel scattered throughout to enhance the fragrance and taste. Perhaps the bananas weren't over-ripe hence the lack of taste in comparison.
Yummi's good for those days you want your cake and have it, without much sin.
