Chiffon Cake

Your detailed chiffon cake recipe looks fantastic! Here’s a quick recap and some additional tips to enhance your baking experience:

▎Chiffon Cake Recipe

▎Ingredients:

1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup vegetable oil

5 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

▎Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Do not grease the pan, as the batter needs to cling to the sides for proper rising.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Prepare the Eggs and Sugar: In another large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and light in color.

4. Add the Oil: Turn off the mixer and gently stir in the vegetable oil until combined.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with any liquid (like milk or water) if desired, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.

6. Prepare the Cake Pan: Grease a 15 cm (6 inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

7. Bake the Cake: Bake for about 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool Upside Down: Once baked, invert the pan immediately onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely before removing from the pan.

9. Serve: Once cooled, slice and enjoy your light and fluffy chiffon cake!

▎Tips:

Flavor Variations: Consider adding citrus zest (like lemon or orange) or cocoa powder for different flavor profiles.

Decoration: Top with whipped cream, fresh fruits, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
