Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups pastry flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup lukewarm water
½ cup vegetable oil
5 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon maple-flavored extract
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup egg whites
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
1 cup milk
2 cups whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients; place water, oil, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and maple extract into the well. Stir together with a wooden spoon, then beat until batter is smooth; stir in walnuts.
  • Place egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl. Sprinkle egg whites with cream of tartar; beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/4 the beaten egg whites into the batter. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated; repeat folding with remaining egg whites, 1/4 at a time, folding just until incorporated. Turn the batter into an ungreased 9- or 10-inch tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to eliminate large air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Tip the pan upside down over a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of pan to remove the cake; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat instant pudding and milk together in a bowl; fold in whipped cream. Spread over cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Most recipes call for room temperature ingredients, as they incorporate more easily and evenly. This is especially important for butter, eggs, and milk.
  • Gradually Add Ingredients: To avoid lumps or curdling, gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with small amounts of liquid. Mix until just combined.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can toughen the cake and make it dense. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking. This ensures that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Cool the Cake Completely: Before frosting or serving, let the cake cool completely. This will prevent the frosting from melting and the cake from falling apart.

With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a delicious and impressive maple chiffon cake. This classic dessert is sure to be a hit with family and friends. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, this maple chiffon cake is a perfect choice.
