CHIFFON CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Chiffon Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large eggs, cold water, canola oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cream of tartar, butter, sugar, evaporated milk, seasonal fruit

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 large eggs, seperated
¾ cup cold water
½ cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ cups sugar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup butter, 2 sticks, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
seasonal fruit, such as berries, for decoration

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, water, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest. Whisk well to combine.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate medium bowl. Add ¾ cup (150 grams) of sugar and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk well.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form and the egg whites are glossy.
  • Pour the egg yolk batter into the egg whites and fold to combine with a spatula.
  • Divide the batter between 2 ungreased 8.5-inch (21 cm) round cake pans (not greasing will help the chiffon cakes rise).
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for 10-15 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
  • While the cakes are baking, make the buttercream frosting: combine the butter and about half of the sugar in a large bowl and cream with a hand mixer until combined. Add the rest of the sugar and beat to incorporate. With the mixer running, slowly add the evaporated milk and beat until smooth.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and cool the cake upside down. Once cool to the touch, sliding an offset spatula around the edges to release the cakes from the pans.
  • Cut off the tops of the cakes so the surfaces are flat and smooth.
  • Set 1 cake on a cake platter or serving dish. Spread buttercream over the top of the cake with an offset spatula and sprinkle with some seasonal fruit. Cover the fruit with buttercream.
  • Place the other cake on top. Spread buttercream over the top, keeping the sides exposed, and decorate with seasonal fruit and edible flowers.
  • Enjoy!

BAY'S MARGARITA CHIFFON PIE



Bay's Margarita Chiffon Pie image

As my life goes, this happened by accident. I didn't have any gelatin so I decided to work with Jello. I kept my fingers crossed and got a few great opinions on how to go about it and dove in.. I used my "Crumb Crust" that I have posted and that really set it off. I will make this again. It is too good not to share. Prep time does not include chill time.

Tips:

  • For a light and fluffy chiffon cake, make sure to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help incorporate air into the batter and give the cake its characteristic airy texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly and prevents it from sinking in the center.
  • Do not open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking. Opening the oven door can cause the cake to fall.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Margarita Chiffon Cake is a delicious and refreshing cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and fluffy, with a moist crumb and a delicate citrus flavor. The cake is easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a simple glaze.
