How to bake Butterfly Pea Chiffon Cake with Blue Butterfly Powder
The chiffon cake was invented in 1927 by Harry Baker (1883–1974), a California insurance salesman turned caterer. Baker kept the recipe secret for 20 years until he sold it to General Mills, which spread the recipe through marketing materials in the 1940s and 1950s. The name was changed to "chiffon cake" and a set of 14 recipes and variations were released to the public in a Betty Crocker pamphlet published in 1948
This may not be the the 1st Butterfly Pea Chiffon Cake but this is the 1st "Butterfly Pea Chiffon Cake" made using Blue Butterfly Powder by Stevia Liong in Sydney. Stevia is a hospitality veteran who loves cooking and baking. She's a crocheter and volunteers at Burwood Wrap with love and collects wind chimes. She's a proud mum of 4 children who all followed in her footsteps.
Traditionally, most bakers would boil the sun dried butterfly pea flowers to extract its colour and it could be a bit light or even too dark so the agony of knowing how much water or flowers to use is an unknown - plus there are enzymes and good nutrients lost in the boiling process. You could save about 30 - 45 minutes from that tedious process with our Blue Butterfly Powder.

Pro Tip Using a baking pan that’s the correct size is important. Do not grease the pan. Chiffon cakes cling to the sides to rise. If you grease the pan, they will not rise as high.
