Ingredients

  • 5 large Egg Whites room temperature
  • 5 large Egg Yolks room temperature
  • 150 g Cake Flour sifted twice
  • 120 g Granulated Sugar divided into two equal portions
  • 60 ml Yuzu Juice fresh or 100% bottled juice
  • 60 ml Vegetable Oil neutral flavor like canola
  • 80 g White Chocolate finely grated or shaved
  • 1 tbsp Yuzu Zest finely minced
  • 1 tsp Cream of Tartar to stabilize egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp Salt fine sea salt

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. For best results, use a dedicated aluminum chiffon pan rather than a non-stick one. You can substitute yuzu juice with a mix of 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part lime juice if yuzu is unavailable.
