Upside Down Chicken Cake
Have you ever thought of baking something sweet and savory together? Let me tell you, I made this Upside Down Chicken Cake using some leftover sponge cake mix that I have. After baking, the sponge cake was soft and the chicken filling was also quite tasty. To me the combination was fine and I enjoyed it very much but unfortunately it was not well received by my family 🙁 Luckily I baked 2 small cakes and gave one away to my friend yesterday. Anyway I’m quite sure that someone out there will love this recipe or perhaps tweak it a little. If so, please give me some feedback as I would love to hear from you 🙂
Ingredients:
makes two pcs 8 x 4 1/2 inches cake pan
- Chicken filling:
- 1 small Onion, chopped and cubes
- 1/2 Carrot, about 50g, cook to soft and dice
- 180 – 200g Chicken thigh meat, boiled and cut cubes or strips. (reserve 100g water as
chicken stock) - 15g Butter
- 1 tbsp Plain flour
- 1 stalk Spring onion, cut finely
- Seasoning:
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Chicken powder
- 1/2 tsp Sugar

- Heat up butter, add onion and fry till fragrant. Add in carrot and chicken cubes, fry well and add seasoning.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp plain flour over it, stir well and add chicken stock. Bring mixture to boil, turn off heat and add spring onion and a dash of pepper, mix well and set aside to cool.
Sponge cake ingredients:

- 1 tsp Ovalette (cake stabilizer)
- 150g Sponge cake mix
- 45g Plain flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 60g Melted butter or canola oil (to be added last)
Method:
- In the mixing bowl put all the ingredients into it except melted butter and whisk at maximum speed till batter becomes thick and white.
- Lower speed and gradually add in melted butter or canola oil, mix well.
- Line cake pan with non stick baking paper at the bottom and grease some butter at the sides of the pan. Add cooked chicken mixture into the two pans evenly, then pour batter into it.

It looks soooo yummy,what is sponge cake mix?Is it the ready made cake powder mix,and can I omit ovalette?may you give us a sponge cake mix from scratch for this cake ?thanks a lot
Hi, Sponge cake mix is a ready mixed with corn flour and stablizer agent. The cake will not be soft and fluffy without the ovalette.
can i make this cake with any Chicken Cake with any sponge cake recipe or i have to follow your sponge cake recipe?
No, you don't have to follow my recipe exactly. Just come up with your own creations.
I've just started searching for recipes for savoury loaves. I love your 'upside down' idea -it look fantastic and I'm going to try it. But probably with a savoury bread/cake recipe! Thanks for sharing.
hello can i know whether the sponge cake mix can be replace by other flour?
Sure, you can use your own cake recipe or even butter to go with the chicken filling.
I think this looks lovely!
Ann,
Your chicken cake sound yummy. I guess a sweet + savory cake depends on individual preference.
I think its like the taste of my 鸡蛋糕with meat floss, that I steamed before its sweet and savory:)

Hello, it's good recipe. I just finished reading in your instruction that was cooked chicken mixture added into the pan before batter. but, I saw in the first picture that chicken in the top of the cake. where is the true? thank you
Hi, when you upturn the cake from the cake pan, the chicken filling will be on top. That's why is called Upside Down Chicken Cake.
Ooh like that.. thank for your information. It's really gorgeous recipe, I will try some day
This is a perfect example as to why you are so good at what you do- what a creative blend! Totally impressive.
Looks really good, first time I came across a savory cake! How lucky for you to have won the bird's nest gift!
Omg! This is sure something new and worth trying. Combi of sweet and savory in one. At 1st glance I thought it was baked carrot/yam cake 🙂
Ellena, Someone told me this looks like a pizza but I think its look more than a piece of bread with chicken topping 😀
Congratulations on your winning, Ann. Btw, love the savoury cake. Looks absolutely scrumptious. Have to bookmark this and try when there are leftovers some day.
Have a lovely weekend & take care.
Kristy
Thank you Kristy. Hope you have a wonderful weekend too.
This is so unique! I totally need to give this a try!
Thank you! Please let me know how much you like this cake after trying it 😀
I have baked something like this before but I used paper cups & I put the chicken filling in the centre as a filling. I remember many years ago, there was a dim sum restaurant in Singapore Chinatown who had something like this, but they used char siew.
Hi Chooi Han, Making in paper cups sound great too. I'd love to try adding char siew next time but not sure whether my family can accept it or not… 😀
Thanks for coming to my site 🙂
What a unique combination, can't imagine how it would taste when it's sweet and savoury. Good attempt and nice looking too.: )
This is special! First time seeing cake with savoury filling. It really looks nice!
Min, you want to try? 😀
Sweet and savory ?! I think I would love it ! 😀 And congrats on winning that bird's nest gift set !
this is indeed a very unique kind of cake, i agree depends on individual, some may love it and some just find it strange. Nevertheless, what i see is a pretty bake on my computer screen. Just saw your crysanthemum pastry, a very beautiful creation too!
Thank you Lena for your nice words 🙂
这个一定很好吃
我也要一片(^-^)
不一定哦。。。我是觉得OK，就是家人觉得口味怪怪。
没关心啦，做人总要有点冒险精神。。 呵呵。。
Not your usual cake, but I am intrigued by the sweet and savory! Happy to take one off your hands!
Belinda, you know me best. 😀 Just mix and match and try the taste of it.
Wow, chicken cake…very interesting indeed. So far have only tried meat floss cake, but with chicken, I can imagine the texture can be really unique! It's like a meal plus desert all in one. 🙂
Bee, You omit the cake and try the chicken filling as chicken pie.
Congrats on winning the giveaway.
The upside down chicken cake sounds very interesting with sweet and savoury notes.
Congrats – so lucky.
The cake looks good.
It's good to see u joining contests & showing off your prize! I love Bird's Best & usually cook it myself. Would love to try Seven Stars Bird's Nest too.
Shirley, This Bird's nest shop is very near you. Have a try, it is much better than other brand I'd tried.
Ann, you are so creative in coming out with this sweet-savoury cake! I thought you baked these in the paper boxes! Congratulations in winning the birdnest, I had that a lot when I was pregnant with Isabelle! Let me share some of these cakes with you!
Jessie, hehee… that box was actaully for mooncakes that I got it from my friend during the festival. My cake just fits well in it and I gave this cake to the same person. At first my friend thought how it was mooncakes in that box 😀
Ann, congratulations on the winning of Bird's Nest gift!
The cake looks beautiful but I just wonder how the taste like to go cake with chicken 🙂
Tze, Thanks! Want to have a try 😀
i think i also can not accept sweet and savoury cake lor, hehehe..anyway, good try!
What a unique cake, sweet and savoury! And you baked it so nicely done!
I am sure I would love this. I love sweet and savoury combination.
excellent choice and it all looks and sounds so delicious! Love the recipe too, thanks.
很特别的蛋糕，我喜欢这种口味 ：）
要试试看吗？
This is so interesting! Never had chicken on a cake before, but it sure looks delicious…
I must say this is a unique creation, and as you put it, some people may like the combination. But it does look very pretty. Wow, so lucky to have won the Bird's Nest, mmm will do wonders to your complexion!
Thanks Cheah 🙂 I even saw a recipe adding salted egg yolk in the cake. Wonder what is the reaction if I make this… 😀
What a unique cake. I do love savory and sweet together. 🙂 I wonder if my kids would like it. hehehe….it'll take me a while to convince my hubby to try though. hahaha….
One man's meat is another man's poison ~ taste is very individual 🙂
我也喜欢甜咸的口味。我记得很久以前做了虎皮卷，夹着生菜，ham，和 cream cheese那样的甜咸口感很好。你这个蛋糕我一定会喜欢的，你家人不＂hui＂ 我要来拿咯。
是啊，我也蛮喜欢咸甜的口味合在一起。就是每个人的口味不同。 哦对了。。我还看到一个食谱加了咸蛋呢。好想做来试试看 😀
鸡和蛋糕， 这是个很特别的组合。。。
是蛮特别的，但是家人不会欣赏 🙁
looks yummy though…
