DOUBLE CHOU CREAM MATCHA PUFF

This is the 2nd time I bought Chateraise Pastisserie in less than 2 days!! I visited their latest outlet at NEX mall. It's amazing, just like in Hokkaido patisserie outlets...there are so many varieties to choose from; all look so colourful, fresh, pretty and yummy! Japanese loves to create unusual and beautiful pastry...really impressed with their lovely creative designs.

Chateraise Double Chou Cream Matcha Puff

Creamy Matcha

As mentioned previously, anything matcha is my favourite, thus how could I resist a bite on this piece of lovely matcha puff? The verdict: I love this double chou cream matcha puff very much. It has just a hint of sweetness and filled with lots of quality matcha flavoured cream. One piece is just not enough, it's addictive...believe me!
Looks like my diet plan has to be put on hold for awhile, as it would be very hard for me to resist this chou..ful of matcha cream puff that is my taste...less sweet. It's really worth it at only $1.90 a piece...must try!!
Oooh...still so many varieties of yummy, pretty pastry waiting for me to taste!!😋
I am so tempted to try all of them...but then, seriously I do need to remember to keep watch on my waistline!!

Chateraise Fluffy Roll Matcha

Charteraise, a patisserie from Yamanashi Prefecture, the land rich in nature situated next to the Western Tokyo is here in Singapore and is expanding very quickly. They have 460 shops spread across all of Japan.
Chateraise uses high quality ingredients from Japan to make delicious and beautiful patisserie, available for customers at affordable price.
You'll be spoilt for choice with the many varieties and affordable pastries available at all their outlets here...priced @$1.20 for a premium ice-bar!!

I love anything matcha; matcha cake, matcha latte, matcha ice-cream & the list goes on...
Recently just tasted Chateraise fluffy roll matcha and it truly has the strong quality matcha flavour, with cream & azuki red bean paste in it. It is slightly sweet for my taste bud as somehow I personally prefer less sweet stuffs.
But it's a good buy @$1.90 for a piece of Japanese yummy matcha roll!! 😋

BANANA CHIFFON CAKE

A chiffon cake is a very light cake made with vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. It is a combination of both batter and foam type (sponge type) cakes.

Instead of the traditional cake ingredient butter, vegetable oil is used; but this is difficult to beat enough air into. Therefore, chiffon cakes, like angel cakes and other foam cakes, achieve a fluffy texture by having egg whites beaten until stiff and folded them into the cake batter before baking. They can be baked in tube pans or layered with fillings and frostings.

I've tried countless of times & finally succeeded baking this very light, soft & fluffy banana chiffon.

Ingredients A:
2-3 ripe bananas (blend till smooth)
4 egg yolks
70g castor sugar
5 tbsp corn oil
150g cake flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Ingredients B:
5 egg whites
70g castor sugar
1 tsp lemon juice

Method:
Mixture A
1. Beat egg yolks, sugar, salt, corn oil & vanilla essence till mixture is thick.
2. Add sifted cake flour/baking powder/baking soda; use a whisk & hand-stir in one direction till smooth & combined.

Mixture B
1. Whisk egg whites & lemon juice.
2. Slowly add sugar & continue whisk till stiff peak but not dry.
3. Lightly fold Mixture B to Mixture A.
4. Pour into a 22cm chiffon cake tin, bake in pre-heated oven @150°C for 30 mins & increase to 180°C, continue to bake till golden brown. 
5. Remove from oven & invert chiffon to cool.

**Note: To cover chiffon top with aluminium foil if top is lightly brown when half-way baking in oven,  so as to prevent over-burned on chiffon top.
