The Custard Chiffon Cake: An MMCC Icon
We thought that Mothers' Day was the perfect day to share this heartwarming video.
Monday Morning Cooking Club’s Mother’s Day 2018
To celebrate Mother’s Day, we can never resist sharing this unique video of Merelyn making her late mother Yolan’s glorious – and now legendary – custard chiffon cake. After years of persuasion, Yolan gave it to Merelyn but sadly never got to see it published. Merelyn treasures this recipe like no other, and feels her mother is with her every time she makes it.
Have a look at this beautiful video where you will learn all the secrets of this magical ‘yellow cake’, and gain a special insight into a special relationship.
The recipe can be found on page 35 of our first book Monday Morning Cooking Club (2011).

The Ultimate Pesach Recipe Guide
Crisp yet chewy layers of...
A quick 4-ingredient, 10 minute...
Anzac Day, held on April 25, is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that honours every soldier who served in war and peacekeeping. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Anzac biscuits, made from oats and golden syrup were created during World War I because they were affordable, long-lasting, and could be sent to soldiers overseas without spoiling.
We make them every year to honour the tradition of Australia.
Lest we forget
Find the recipe in my reel with @roknox4wentworth
I am a cook. @roknox4wentworth is actually not.
She is much more than that.
Ro is the fabulous Liberal candidate for my electorate of Wentworth (NSW).
So, in anticipation of ANZAC Day on Friday, I invited Ro into my kitchen to honour the Australian tradition of baking these exceptionally irresistible oat and golden syrup biscuits,
and also to prove two things:
1. Anyone can make excellent ANZAC biscuits (yes, even Ro, a self-proclaimed non-cook), and
2. Sometimes stepping into unfamiliar territory is exactly what leadership looks like.
ANZAC BISCUITS
140 g (1 scant cup) plain flour
55 g (1/2 cup) rolled oats
85 g (heaped 1/3 cup) caster sugar
20 g (1/4 cup) shredded coconut
20 g (1/4 cup) desiccated coconut
1/8 teaspoon salt
110 g (1 stick) unsalted butter
40 g (1 heaped tablespoon) golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
Preheat the oven to 160℃.
Line a baking tray. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, coconut and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together. Once melted, stir in the bicarb soda. Let it froth and thicken and then pour onto the dry ingredients. Mix well. Place heaped teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared tray. Flatten slightly if you prefer a more crunchy biscuit. Bake for 20 minutes or until deep golden.
Makes about 30.
Please share this post so everyone can get baking this week!

Thank you – will make it in the morning! Will channel my thoughts to you and your beloved mum🙏Shabbat Shalom
That’s so lovely. We hope your cake worked out well!
Hi Lisa,. What temperature do you bake the chiffon and for how long? Thanks.
180C (conventional temp) for 1 hour or until completely cooked through
That looks so lovely. The pan looks like quite a large one. What size pan should I use please?
Just wondering if you use a SR flour or plain for a shiffon cake?
