Gluten Free Pandan Chiffon Rice Flour Cake 粘米粉斑斓戚风蛋糕(无麸质)

Leavened only with whipped meringue, chiffon cake is well known for its light and airy texture, similar in texture to angel food cake. 

Unlike angel food cake that only uses egg whites, chiffon cake uses both the egg whites and the egg yolks, which brings richness to the taste.

This pandan cake is made gluten-free by replacing the cake flour with rice flour. There is no need to buy Gluten Free Flour Mix, you can simply use the most commonly available rice flour.  Rice flour is naturally gluten-free and can be consumed even by those who have celiac disease!

This recipe is easy to make, but it always helps to watch the step-by-step video tutorial below.

To your egg whites, add vinegar and sugar, beat egg whites until you reach a stiff peak (When you stir the egg whites with your whisk and lift it up, it should create a stiff firm peak)
8. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius.

10. Pour the egg yolk batter into the meringue. Whisk gently in order not to lose the fluffiness.
