ABC: Baking for All Occassion by Flo Braker, Page 120
Orange Chiffon Tweed Cake with Milk 'n' Honey Sabayon
When i first saw the recipe for the first time, i had in mind that i didn't want to make the Milk 'n' Honey Sabayon since i have to use 6 yolks again and left with all the egg whites.. (i have TONS of eggwhites in the freezer..and i have no time to bake macarons to get rid of my whites..).. However, after baking the orange chiffon tweed cake, i changed my mind and continued with the sabayon. I have to say that i didn't regret making it cos it is absolutely delicious!!
Making the chiffon wasn't difficult...but i was a bit shock at the 1 tbsp of baking powder, I thought i read wrongly in the beginning and had to look at it thrice to reconfirm that i didn't. Well, the 1 tbsp of baking powder didn't change anything to the texture and the chiffon is light and soft but yet has a nice texture to it. The orange and chocolate pairing is totally yummy..and it's my fave flavor combo.
My orange chiffon turned upside down for cooling... somehow i like this photo..it's like a lamp..and an unusual one..lol!
For the sabayon, i didn't use liquor but instead added the orange juice with a tiny bit of triple sec and folded in 200ml (the entire tub) of pure cream instead of 120ml cos i didn't want left over pure cream..but it tasted great anyway..i think it tasted slightly more creamy which i like..lol!
VERDICT: Totally delicious yummy chiffon with sabayon sauce. The perfect combination i have to say!! Do not skip the sabayon..it's light and so yummy!

Beautiful Faithy. I love your lamp, haha. I'm glad that your first ABC recipe was a big success. We loved it too. It was hard not to. The orange flavor was amazing. Not dull at all!
Oh man so much for talking my way out of making hte Sabayon! Guess tomorrow I will be whipping up some! The cake is cooking right now... Totally looking like a lamp too.. LOL
Looks and sounds delicious! I'll tackle it tomorrow. Hope my cake looks as good upside down.
You loved the cake! Relief. I kind of figured it was just me fighting the whole thing =).
Your cake looks absolutely delicious and your photos are fun and beautiful!
I've never tried pairing chiffon with sabayon before. They sound like a winning combo.Yummm
A lamp! That's what I thought! Love these kind of lamps!
The flavour of this cake is amazing, not dry at all! Such a nice cake you made!
That sounds really unusual, I think I would have been tempted by the title alone. Pity you can't ship your whites over to me, I always forget to use up my yolks whenever I do macs!!
Gorgeous chiffon cake! I love chiffon and sponge cakes and chocolate orange is perfect and that sabayon is wonderful! I need to try that!
hahaa...really looks like a lamp. I think you can frame the picture, really cute!
