Mango yogurt chiffon cake trial

My nephew's birthday is coming up and he requested a mango flavoured cake. I found this recipe online and decided to try it out a day before baking his actual birthday cake.

The recipe was small enough for my 15cm tube pan (based on inner diameter at the top), and fitted the pan exactly (okay, it rose about 1cm above the rims of the pan during baking, but fell during cooling) you can see the picture below.


Taste was light and fluffy just as chiffon should be. The cake was a tall 10cm high (hear my squeal!) The taste of mango was hardly noticeable (make mental note to sub the mango yogurt with fresh mango puree & plain yogurt).

My daughter polished off two slices (almost a quarter) of the cake at one go. And our family of three had the cake for breakfast the next day. Texture was still as good the day after baking.

Recipe for 18cm tube pan (I used a 15cm tube pan) Egg yolks -3
