Fluffy Plain Chiffon Cake
- 4 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Sugar
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 20 grams Sugar
- 40 ml Vegetable or olive oil
- 70 ml Water or milk
- 1 dash Vanilla extract
- 75 grams White flour
- Preheat the oven to 160C (325F).
- Sift the flour 2 or 3 times.
- Mix the ingredients.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks and whip up a meringue.
- Add sugar to the egg whites in 3 or 4 batches.
- Whip until stiff peaks form.
- Tip: During the last minute, whip on low speed.
- Add the sugar to the egg yolks in 2 or 3 batches and whip until they turn pale and heavy.
- Add the ingredients to the egg yolks and mix.
- At this point, gradually add the sifted flour and mix well.
- Add the mixture from Step 6 to the meringue in 2 or 3 batches.
- Mix together without popping the delicate bubbles.
- Pour into the cake dish, gently rapping the pan 2 or 3 times against the counter.
- Bake in the 160C (325F) preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Do not open the door in the middle of baking.
- It's finished baking.
- Once it's finished baking, flip it upside down and let it cool completely.
- Once it's completely cooled, insert a knife between the cake dish and the cake, and spin it around once.
- Insert a bamboo skewer between the cake and the center part of the mold.
- Lastly, take it out with a knife.
- It should look like this.
- It's perfectly delicious just like that but this time I added whipped cream.
- Because it varies, after 30 minutes of baking, if the cake makes a "puff" noise when touched, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- The total baking time should be around 40-45 minutes.
