Flying Longevity Noodles Chiffon Cake

Flying Longevity Noodles Chiffon Cake （长寿面线）, complete with abalone, red eggs, vegetables, prawns and chicken drumstick!🍜🍗🥬 I tried to pattern the porcelain bowl and mimic how a cracked boiled red egg would look like on the inside 😛. Basically I imagined the red dye seeping into the cracks and making red lines on the boiled eggs hehe.

Here are also my first attempts on abalone and bak choy (小白菜) 😅. It was really fun and a lot of love went into the cake! Which is your favorite ingredient?? 

This cake is in the same spirit as my previous Flying Ramen Chiffon Cake! I did a poll on my instagram and 60% like ramen more than longevity noodles hehe! You can read the previous post for more details! 

Anyway its a Chinese tradition to eat 长寿面线 during our birthdays, so it is a special treat. I remember fondly those days growing up eating the chicken soup, white vermicelli and red eggs on that special day! I think it is to wish the birthday person longevity and good health.

Hope this post warms your heart and gives you blessing or brings back memories! =)

With lots of love,

Susanne

Flying Noodles Chiffon Cake

I has always had been my dream to make the Flying Noodle Cake! After a series of food-themed chiffon cakes (Kueh to Sushi to Nasi lemak), I finally had the courage to try out a Flying Chopsticks Noodle chiffon cake! Thanks to my friend for having the faith in me!

This is my anyhow-hantum chiffon cake version! Really thank God for providing <3. It is definitely easier to make noodles from cream or fondant. The noodles were cut from chiffon sheet cakes, which risk breaking, so the bendability has to be just right. For this, I used my Cottony Cake recipe which is closer to ogura cake that can do “yoga”.

I also used the same cottony cake recipe to make the spring onions and corn roll cakes. Basically I make a thin swissroll from the cake (like spring onions), then slice into small pieces. The hole wasn’t so obvious, so I further used a yakult straw to widen the hole in the centre for the spring onions. The other ingredients like fishcake and ham, involved piping and baking chiffon batter as thin sheets in cupcake liners, similar to my Lollipop chiffon cake pops in Deco Chiffon Cakes (below). Lastly the bowl itself consisted of a bowl chiffon cake baked in a ball cake pan, using charcoal powder. The sushi slices were also cut from bamboo charcoal chiffon cake.

Thankful cake was very well-received!

With lots of love,
Susanne
