Citrus Chiffon Cake Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup egg whites at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sugar
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 cup salad oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
5 egg yolks
Citrus Glaze
Directions
1. In large bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until soft peaks form. Beating at high speed, sprinkle in 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition until sugar is completely dissolved and whites stand in stiff peaks.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F. In another large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat 1 cup sugar with flour and remaining ingredients except Citrus Glaze until blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. With rubber spatula or wire whisk, gently fold egg-yolk mixture into beaten whites just until blended.
3. Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake 1 hour or until cake is golden and top springs back when lightly touched with finger. Invert cake in pan on funnel or bottle; cool completely in pan.
4. To serve, with metal spatula, carefully loosen cake from pan; place on cake plate. Prepare Citrus Glaze. Spread glaze on top of cake, letting some glaze run down side.
