I love osmanthus and the scent is so soothing. I’m sure you can tell that I love osmanthus very much as I’ve shared my osmanthus recipes with you before. So today, I’m sharing this Osmanthus Chia Seed Chiffon Cake with you. This recipe is similar to my Earl Grey Tea Chiffon cake but with a little adjustment on the flour and I changed the sugar to osmanthus sugar syrup (store bought). I’ve also added 2 tablespoons black chia seeds for some crunch. Overall this chiffon cake is perfect with a hint of osmanthus fragrance, and soft, cottony texture. I even baked a second one the next day.

- Make meringue - Combine sugar and corn flour. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add half the sugar and flour mixture and continue beating for a few minutes, then add remaining sugar and flour mixture and beat until egg whites are glossy, with stiff peaks.
- Fold meringue to the egg yolk mixture in 3 batches with a rubber spatula. Pour batter evenly into 20cm ungreased chiffon cake pan. Gently bang the pan on the table top to release air bubbles. (My cake was little too flat because I used a 21cm size pan)
- Place cake pan in the pre-heated oven 170C and bake for about 40-45 minutes.
- When cake is done, remove from oven and turn the pan over. Remove the cake from pan after cooling.
