Mini Tofu Chiffon Cake
I made this very light and fluffy Tofu Chiffon Cake last Friday and it was absolutely delicious! Instead of using the traditional chiffon tube pan, I switched to use cupcake liners and surprisingly, it came out great!! Look how pretty this mini chiffon cake with sprinkled of black sesame on it. I made a second batch again yesterday for my cousins and nieces to taste and I was so happy all of them gave this cake a Thumbs Up ๐ ย I definitely think this healthy recipe is a keeper.

I have tofu at home, shall I try this ? KekeI like to bake chiffon in cup because that means shorter baking time, no moulding, no washing of the chiffon pan.
Tigerfish ~ Thanks (^-^)Thank you Jess :)Rita, have a try on this, it is quite to make.Thank you Nami ๐
Look georgeous and perfect!! LOL, gloria
your cake looks pillow soft!
很可爱的戚风蛋糕。我会把食谱抄下。谢谢分享!
I love the mini ones but I always have one too many!
What a brilliant idea. I have tried tofu cheesecake but not chiffon. It is on my must do list now.
Using a cupcake liner for chiffon cake sounds like a very easy useful and great idea to bring/share. It's wonderful that all 4 bloggers tried it out and everyone likes it. I like how sesame sees are peaking out from the Chiffon cake! They look really delicious!
ohhh i wanna learn how to make chiffon…so far never tried yet ๐
These are SO pretty, Anncco! I've never tried anything like this.
@edithThank you Edith for the invitation. I'll see what I can make for the event ๐
Thanks Janine. This is very well received by my family and friends. Have a try.Shan~ 这个真的很容易做,一定好试试看哦!Thank you Lia and Peachkins ๐
this looks amazing anncoo! i love the cute liners ๐ and tofu sure is a really healthy option!
@JunglefrogHi Simone, Thank you! The traditional way chiffon cake is to invert the cake and I agreed as you said the cake top part is more appealing ๐
Love the texture and the size of your chiffon cake! Mini size is just more appealing for me. Wanna grab it from my screen now hehehe ๐
@neyeelohEsther, 对啊!不用切又容易吃 ๐
Hai Anncoo, I really admire of all your recipes and picts taken are so wonderful…! Surely, I'll come over again and again….

Ann, I never think of mix tofu into chiffon cake. Bravo. I tried to use the muffin pan to bake the chiffon, but it sank after removed from the pan during cooling down period. Do you have any idea why?
Oh they look so fluffy!! Using tofu for this sounds brilliant! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
looks amazing dear…awesome try..
Tasty Appetite

Brilliant looking cakes Ann! I see you inverted them but I actually love that cracked crust. makes them look very appealing!

BeeBee, You can add a little more sugar for your kids. For me I prefer to use less sugar.
@アンゼエリンTofu can be made into cheesecake too. I going to make one soon. Stay tuned!
like this small size chiffon. So handy to eat especially for kids. Must be a yummy n healthy tofu chiffon.
I just love tiny little treats and the fact that you didnt bake it in a chiffon tube pan makes it even more appealing. NICE!
So light and fluffy. And healthy too. Im gonna try it out soon. I like that its done in cupcakes. Bookmarked.
Looks fabulous! So soft and spongy! A great idea baking it in cupcakes cases! Great job!
these mini cakes are so pretty, love the idea of baking in cupcake molds. no cut mess!
aww, and the liners, so cute!
Tofu chiffon … wow! Really looks soft and fluffy!
Looks fluffy soft! I was kind of worried that it might too light in taste which my kids might shy away. But since you "endorse" it, i think it should be a GO for me, heehee!
Amazingly these cakes looks like they are as soft as tofu!
This looks so good! I can't wait to try out this recipe and see what the tofu does for flavor. I like the addition of soymilk too. It's so great that you got the cake to rise so high even though you used cupcake liners and not the traditional pan.
Great recipe!I love dessets that sneak a little tofu in there. Silken tofu has so many diverse uses.
@ Ann: Thanks for your advice. I would try again and let you know the result. ๐
Only heard of tofu cheesecake and not tofu chiffon cake. You are a genius!
@hankerieHi Han Ker, It might probably due to the egg whites are not well whisked and the baking time is a little too short so that the cake is not fully cooked.
真的咧,没想到用这种纸杯做出来的戚风蛋糕还蛮漂亮的 ^_^
Delicious and so cute!And BTW, I have my first giveaway contest on my blog today! Yes, I love this so much, I will ship overseas!
@Inspired by eRecipeCardsThank you Dave ๐ I'm coming :DD
