Pineapple Chiffon Cake
- 8 large egg whites, room temperature
- 2-1/4 cups cake flour
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 2/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, pineapple juice, oil and lemon zest. Add to dry ingredients; beat until well blended.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.
- Bake on the lowest oven rack at 325u0b0 for 55-60 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter and enough pineapple juice to achieve a glaze consistency. Drizzle over top of cake, allowing some glaze to drape down the sides.
