Notes
** Cooking Tip
In order to get your chiffon cake light and airy, it is important to use aluminum baking pans lined with parchment paper. Do not oil the pan and do not use teflon coated pans. By using aluminum baking pans, the cake is able to cling to the sides of the pan while it is rising which gives the cake more volume and a lighter, airy texture which chiffon cakes are known for. Also ensure that you beat your egg whites but not over beat them. The last tip is to gently fold in the egg whites and don’t over mix…this will keep your chiffon light and fluffy.
