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).

    Hi Lisa,. What temperature do you bake the chiffon and for how long? Thanks.

    1. Lisa Goldberg

      180C (conventional temp) for 1 hour or until completely cooked through

  3. Colleen

    That looks so lovely. The pan looks like quite a large one. What size pan should I use please?

  4. Zora

    Just wondering if you use a SR flour or plain for a shiffon cake?

Today I turned 60.
Crazy, huh? (Yes I think so too!)

I’m grateful for so many things.
I’m grateful that I live in one of the most beautiful cities in one of the best countries in the world.
I’m especially grateful for my wonderful family and friends (and my dog Winston).

But it’s a really tough time to celebrate as it feels like the world is falling apart.
My country has changed. It feels like a divided nation with so many fuckers just full of so much hate.
And the ongoing hostage situation and war in Gaza is unfathomable and devastating.
I have managed to step away from the news/instagram for the day today to enjoy this HUGE😳milestone. I’ve done all the things I love to do (walk, eat, chat, drink, eat some more and start the day with a spicy bloody Mary) with almost all of the people I love the most. What more could I ask for?

Well, since you asked, I have 3 tiny wishes for my birthday, and unsurprisingly they are all related to Israel:
1/ I wish that each and every one of the hostages comes home now,
2/ I wish that Israel completely demilitarizes Hamas ASAP so the war can end, and
3/ I wish that the Palestinian people acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and just let Israel live in peace.
Not too much to ask?
Am Yisrael chai! 💙💙💙

This year, international Women’s Day says something different.

We can celebrate being part of a community of amazing, strong resilient Jewish women in Melb, Sydney and across the world.

But we are devastated that much of the world is silent about the 19 women still held hostage in Gaza.
And silent about what happened to the women at the hands of the Hamas barbarians in Israel on 7 October.

And silent about so much more.

There are still 19 innocent women, young and old, held captive and it’s time to #bringthemhome.

We will continue to stand up and fight for what we believe.
And of course continue to fight to bring home ALL of the 134 hostages - and to bring them home NOW.

Yesterday’s Melbourne rally was equally inspiring and devastating. A shoutout to the brilliant women who organized such a moving and important rally. So good to hear strong words from @clammy_fraud. I feel so lucky to have been there to be able to be part of it and it was so good to meet a few of the incredible Melbourne women who inspire me every day.
