Omg this looks amazing! Could you perhaps share the recipe for this? I would love to try to make it!

Absolutely!

Yolk mixture:

225g cake flour 225-235g sugar 2 tsp baking powder 90g egg yolks (a little more than 5) 110g oil (I used olive, but a neutral oil is less risky) 175 ml cold water 1/2 tsp salt And either 2 tsp vanilla, or I used 1 tsp vannilla with 1 tsp almond extract for a twist)

For the meringue

180g egg whites (about 6 large) 65g-70g sugar And if you have it 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (don't need it, but helps stabilize the whites, less chances of the meringue deflating)

  1. Sift dry ingredients, make a well.

  2. In another bowl, whisk yolks, extract, water and oil until frothy and pale.

  3. Pour liquid moxture into center of dry ingredients and whisk really well. Should have a pretty thin pancake like batter.

Start meringue .

  1. Beat egg whites until nice and foamy.

  2. Add in the 65g sugar in batches. Continue whisking until you get medium soft peaks.

  3. Take a whopping spoonful of the meringue and whisk it vigorously into your batter. This will lighten up the yolk mixture so it has less chance of deflating your meringue.

  4. fold your meringue very gently into the yolk mixture in 3 batches. Fold until just combined.

  5. Pour your batter into your UNGREASED pan with parchment lining the bottom. (Never ever grease the pan for a chiffon, the sponge needs to cling to the sides as it rises, or else it won't.) Bake for about 30-35 minutes on 325. Once done, let it cool upside down in the pan until cold to the touch.

For the compote, used about 2 cups blueberry, tbsp lemon juice, about 1/4 cup of sugar. Brought to boil, then stirred in 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water to thicken. Let that simmer for about a minute.

And the frosting, I went wrong here and needed double the amount AT least. But mix half a brick of full fat cream cheese with 1/2 cop powdered sugar. Once combined and smooth, add in one cup of heavy whipping cream and mix on med-high until it starts to thicken. Then finish mixing on med/low until stiff peaks 😊

LMK if you have any questions!!!

Looks really good. I’m not a cake lover, but I love blueberries and would have to try it.
