Zeny and all,
I tried making citrus chiffon cake last night. I never noticed the sides and bottom of my previous chiffon cakes were actually crumbly. The one I made last night was a bit crumbly but it looked better some time after de-moulidng.
Regards,
Jo

Hi to all who are interested in the Pandan Chiffon Cake Recipe:
I have re-written and revised the recipe for Pandan Chiffon Cake on my website. A new photo (one I took myself of the cake that I made today) is with the recipe.
To address your question Zeny (and I am so sorry it took so long) about the texture of the outside of the cake, mine was also crumbly abit. The photo of the Pandan Chiffon Cake on my website that was previously with the recipe is not one that I took myself (it was from a professional baker), and as you said it looked very smooth. Now there is a new photo (I took this photo myself today after I made the cake).
I think it would be a good idea to line your cake pan with parchment paper, at least the bottom. I don't know what the answer is to getting the cake to look so smooth on the outside, maybe Jo has an idea.
I have also changed the temperature to bake the cake at from 375 degrees F (190 C) to 350 degrees F (180 C). This is probably why your cake was a little burnt outside. Baking the cake at 350 F (180 C) or even 325 F (160 C), will work better, I'm quite sure.
Look for the revised Pandan Chiffon Cake recipe on my website today, Sunday July 6, 2003. I hope you enjoy it! If you have any comments, please let me know.
Sincerely, Diana

Hi Zeny,
How was the texture of the chiffon cake like? Was it spongy enough? Did you hurt the sides of the cake while trying to remove the cake from the cake tin?
I have not encountered this problem before. Maybe Diana or Chef Clarence are able to help here.

Dear Jo,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I did take a shot of the cake 'coz i think its not worth showing off! What I mean is that the outer thin skin round the whole cake is nor even because some were stuck on the pan thus giving me uneven color. The smooth parts were daker brown while the skinned ones got lighter (yellowish color). I hope you get what I mean. Still waiting for solutions from you experts guys!
Thank you.

Hi Zeny,
Did you take a photo of the cake? I could not imagine how it looks like. Did you mean that the thin and smooth skin chiffon cake is suppose to have is now crumbly?

Dear Diana,Chef Clarence, Joanels and all!
I tried your pandan cake recipe last night and it turned out alright, very delicious, but the thing is that the outside of the cake is not as smooth as showwn in your photo. Crumbs all over the cake which makes the cake look unneat. What do you think went wrong ? I left the cake inverted on a bottle neck the whole night..prob 12 hours, but still the outcome is as mentioned. Any tips?
Thank you.
