Why You Should Cool Your Sponge Cakes Upside Down
Chiffon Cake (yield: two 8-in round layers)
1.75 c (210g) cake flour, sifted
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
3/4 c (150g) sugar
1/2 c (100g) vegetable oil
6 egg yolks
1/2 c (113g) water
1.5 tsp vanilla
6 egg whites
pinch of cream of tartar
1/2 c (100g) sugar
1. Whisk together the oil, yolks, water, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
2. Add cake flour, baking powder, salt, and first sugar and whisk to combine.
3. In the bowl of a mixer, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar until frothy. Add the second sugar one tablespoon at a time and continue to mix on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
4. Gently fold the meringue into the first mixture.
5. Evenly distribute the cake batter between two 8-in cake pans that have been prepared with only a circle of parchment paper on the bottom (no grease!)
6. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool upside down on a sheet of parchment.
8. Once completely cool, remove the cakes from the pan.

Ah yes, the sponge cake revolt “give me 🗽 or give me ☠️ !!!! 🔥
for anyone confused, these tips are for egg based cakes with little additives that make then rise ( so just using air) such as chiffon, angel food, and sponge. strangely though genoise is fine with greased pans

@katrinaliu3920

@@alisonbakes6351 i go by flour content! not too sure about how butter affects the rise and stability of the sponge cake, but if you're creaming the butter or adding baking power or baking soda, theres normally no need for a aluminum cake pan. generally cakes with more flour can rise and hold on their own. but every cake recipe is different so it's best to experiment with a recipe that you already like and use :)

We usually grease and then flour the pan and it comes out great. The upside down method is a new one. Will have to try that one.

I wouldn't recommend turning it upside down if you used grease and flower because the cake could fall out of the pan and collapse and be ruined. Only turn it upside down if you're confident it won't just end up sliding right out. You're better off cooling it right side up if you're baking it with a non stick pan and/or grease and flower.

Your shorts remind me a lot of Good Eats. Old food network show starring Alton brown back when he had hair. The way you combine the “how” with the “why” in your explanations kinda reminded of that show. Great vids man keep it up.

it really does sell the saying the baking is a science, because before his shorts, I never gave it credence is deserved. Because of its concise nature I feel more confident in trying new recipes as he's teaching logic that get lost in longer videos that somehow expect you to already understand certain terms that actually don't make sense for a casual baker
True. First time I knew this was from an Angel Food box cake. It actually SAID to cool upside-down!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Dude this is brilliant! I always wondered by some recipes said “don’t grease the walls only bottom”

Just use butter and flour to make any cake pan non sitck. The flour stops the batter from sinking. Easy alternative of you have no parchement around.

If you aren't making a meringue cake like chiffon or sponge or Genoise and your cakes are sinking in the middle it's because they aren't fully baked
as a sponge cake myself, these tips have really helped.
