Cheese Chiffon Cake with Blueberries
Since the pandan chiffon was so well-recieved, i decided to bake another chiffon cake. This time I revisited the cheese chiffon cake recipe I had used b4 long ago. Decided to incorporate some blueberries into the cake so that the flavour will be stronger and blueberries complemented the cheese very well too. To make it more visually pleasing, I mixed in some violet colouring into half of the batter and swirl it.
The end results? The cake's airy but still very soft and moist. I think I'll need to tweak the recipe abit, maybe add in more flour so that the cake has a firmer structure. But overall, the tart blueberries provided a nice dimension to the cake.

Your cake tempted me so much that I have to bake one too ! I heard now for $4, you can get 2 x 125g pkts of blueberries from NTUC rite ? When I bought mine back from Sin in May, it was $3.95/pkt, sigh..... but still cheap, here in KK, selling at cut throat price of RM19.80/pkt !!!

Hi Delia, thanks for visiting...
I'm not sure abt using pie filling unless you mix into the batter. Or maybe you can try swirling it? Let me know if you're successful with the cake! :)

i've failed making the cake with blueberry pie filling. At first i thought it's ok but then...haiz. the blueberry filling was heavy that's why fail.
