Yield Makes one 7-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest, (about 4 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees and have ready an ungreased 7-inch tube pan. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, vegetable oil, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Add reserved dry ingredients, and beat until smooth.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually add remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar; beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Gradually fold egg-white mixture into the batter; start by folding in 1/3, then fold in the remaining 2/3. Pour batter into pan. Using an offset spatula, smooth the top. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean and the cake is golden, about 45 minutes.

LEMON CHIFFON CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE



Lemon Chiffon Cake with Strawberry Sauce image

This is a wonderfully easy cake to make for Passover. It has a nice light lemon taste and the strawberry sauce is a great compliment. However, feel free to use the sauce of your choice or other accompaniment. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. The sauce can be made several days ahead and brought to room temperature to serve. The sauce makes 2 cups. I let each person apply their own sauce rather than pouring over the entire cake. This recipe was originally found in the "Let My People Eat!" cookbook.

LEMON CHIFFON CAKE



Lemon Chiffon Cake image

The texture of this cake is that of angel food cake, but made with whole grains, it has more substance than the white version.

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups sprouted spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
10 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup light agave nectar
1/2 cup light agave nectar
2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly oil the bottom only of a 10-inch tube pan with canola oil spray.
  • In a large bowl, sift in the flour, then stir in the vanilla extract, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
  • In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the agave nectar and increase to high speed. Beat until stiff and glossy, but not dry, about 1 minute. Gently fold the egg whites into the flour mixture. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Using a serrated knife, cut though the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and invert on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • To prepare the frosting, in a saucepan bring the agave nectar to a boil over medium heat. Let simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, then set aside. In the top of a double boiler, over medium heat, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and lemon juice with an electric mixer, or by hand with a balloon whisk, for 4 to 5 minutes, until light and foamy. Slowly drizzle the hot agave nectar into the egg whites, beating constantly for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the frosting is thick. Beat in the lemon extract and vanilla extract and beat 2 minutes more. The frosting should be smooth, fluffy, and of spreading consistency.
  • When the cake has cooled completely, slice it in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Fill the cake with half the frosting and some blueberries. Top with the other cake half. Spread the remaining frosting on top and garnish with the remaining blueberries. Serve soon after frosting to maintain this cake's light, airy texture.
