Recipe  from  Honey Bee Sweets' Fresh Blueberry Chiffon Cake with slight changes.


Ingredients:  
(A)
5 egg yolks
100g fresh blueberry compote (See below)

  • Sift flour into a mixing bowl.  Gradually whisk in the egg yolk  mixture in a slow and steady stream.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, add in cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form.  Gradually add in sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the flour/egg yolk mixture in 3 batches. 
  • Pour batter into an ungreased 20cm tube pan. 
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until cook.
  • Remove cake from the oven and invert the pan to cool.
  • Unmould the cake when it is completely cool.


Blueberry compote:  
100g fresh blueberry
1 tsp lemon juice
3 tbsp caster sugar
  • Place all the ingredients into a small saucepan and cook under low heat.  Stir to combine and cook until blueberries start to break down.
