Melbourne Cup Day is Australia's best known horse racing event held on the first Tuesday of November every year. It is an annual public holiday in the state of Victoria since 1877. This year I took a day off on Monday in order to enjoy a long, four days off weekend.
I kick off my Tuesday by making an orange chiffon cake. Wow..... love it.
I used Kevin Chai's recipe ( Bake with Kevin Chai )
Ingredients : A) 7 egg yolks, 50g caster sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons vegetable oil,
2 tablespoons orange zest, 60ml orange juice, and 110g self raising flour
B) 7 egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and 130g caster sugar
Lately I bought free range eggs from a chicken farm, Tamarix, located in Dandenong, the eggs are so fresh and there are delicious in making soft boiled eggs and soldiers for the brekkies. I am not sure if the freshness of the eggs make the colour of the chiffon cake so intense like colourings being added in the mixture or the fresh orange juice. My orange chiffon cake colour has never been so beautiful.
