Ingredients
170 gr Flour+15 gr Corn starch, 75 ml Water, 450 gr Egg white
150 gr Coconut cream+150 ml Vegetable oil, 40 gr Cocoa powder
1½ tsp Cream of tartar (2 tsp Lime juice), ¾ tsp Baking powder
1½ tsp Vanilla bourbon essence/Vanilla extract, 210 gr Sugar
¾ tsp Salt, 30 gr Almond-/Milk powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 170° C; turn oven fan mode on. Place oven rack in the lowest position. Put a 24-26 cm chiffon cake form (spring-form tube pan) in the oven until the batter is ready. Mix coconut cream with veg. oil; set aside. Dissolve the vanilla bourbon/vanilla extract in water; set aside.
Combine the flour, corn starch, baking powder, almond powder/milk- & Cocoa powder. Make a well in the center of the flour; pour in the vegetable oil mixture. Whisk until the batter smooth with no lumps. Pour in the water vanilla mixture; stir with a spatula to combine it well.
Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar (lime juice) & salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar; beat until stiff peaks form.
Gradually add egg whites mixture into the flour batter. With a spatula, gently fold the egg white mixture in one direction, just until blended (don’t fold it too long).
Take the cake pan out of the oven; drizzle little water into the pan sides. Gently pour the batter in & then smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes (until the cake rose & starts to crack). Turn the oven fan mode off, turn upper heat on. Cover up the pan with aluminium foil. Bake again for 35-40 minutes.
Remove pan from the oven & put it upside down on a cooling/wire rack (elevate/suspend the pan tube over a flat cup bottom/bottle). Let the cake cool down to room temperature. Turn the pan over. Run a blunt side of a knife or an offset spatula, with one movement, between the edge of the cake & the pan to loosen it from the pan.
