Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
- Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Over-mixing can toughen the cake.
- Be careful not to over-bake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a chiffon cake pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.

This poppy seed chiffon cake is a light, fluffy, and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your needs. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to be a hit.
