Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and position a rack in the center. Prepare an ungreased 10-inch (25 cm) tube pan.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

  3. Add the vegetable oil, egg yolks, water, and vanilla extract into the well. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter in three additions.

  5. Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. Bake the Plain Chiffon Cake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven. Invert the tube pan onto a cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, upside down.

  8. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Gently remove the cake from the pan.

  9. Transfer the Plain Chiffon Cake to a serving plate and slice into portions. Enjoy!
