重要提醒

⚠️

Always preheat the oven before baking the chiffon cake.

⚠️

Coat flour particles with oil first to inhibit gluten development for a tender crumb.

⚠️

Use a side-to-side whisking motion for efficiency and to avoid overworking the batter.

⚠️

Ensure egg white bowl is clean and oil-free, and no yolk gets into whites, for proper whipping.

⚠️

Add an acid (cream of tartar, lemon juice, or vinegar) to stabilize meringue and prevent overwhipping.

⚠️

Whip egg whites to a firm yet flexible peak, not fully stiff, for optimal elasticity and stability.

⚠️

Fold egg whites into the batter gently and quickly to retain air, ensuring no white streaks remain.

⚠️

Use a bare metal (preferably aluminum) cake pan that is at least 3 inches tall; a removable bottom pan is ideal and needs no prep.

⚠️

Cool the chiffon cake upside down for at least 90 minutes to preserve its height and fluffy texture.

⚠️

Cracks on top of the chiffon cake are normal; you can use the flat bottom as the top for a smooth appearance.
