Soft, Springy, Citrusy Chiffon Cake

- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- My soft and springy chiffon cake recipe has a light, melt-in-your mouth crumb that’s delicate, but not so delicate that it falls apart. It requires a bit of technique, but nothing that you can’t handle if you read through the steps carefully.
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/chiffon-cake/
Ingredients
Chiffon Cake
2 ¼ cups cake flour (250g)
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, divided (350g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
½ cup canola oil (118ml)
1 cup orange juice (may substitute milk or water) (236ml)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract, optional
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Glaze (optional)
½ cup salted butter, melted (113g)
2 ¼ cups powdered sugar (280g)
2-4 Tablespoons orange juice or milk, as needed

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:27 Preheat oven to 325F (175C).
00:32 In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt and whisk together.
00:52 In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, canola oil, extracts and orange juice (or milk or water) and beat very well until mixture is smooth and well-combined.
03:03 Add the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until mixture is thoroughly combined.
03:21 In a separate large, clean, dry, and completely grease and moisture-free bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Use an electric mixer to beat on medium-speed until foamy. Gradually increase the mixer speed to medium-high and gradually add remaining ½ cup (100g) of granulated sugar, about 1 Tablespoon at a time, allowing about 10 seconds of mixing after each addition.
04:40 Increase mixer speed to high and beat until egg white mixture is thick and glossy and you have reached stiff peaks.
05:28 Add the egg yolk mixture to the egg whites and use a spatula to carefully fold the ingredients together until batter is smooth and completely combined,
05:59 Pour evenly into an ungreased tube pan. Transfer to the center rack of 325F (175C) oven and bake for 50-55 minutes and any cracks on the surface appear dry.
06:37 Remove from the oven and immediately invert onto a can or bottle.
07:15 Allow to cool completely before running a knife along the inside of the pan to release the cake from the pan and then turning it out onto a serving rack. If desired, top with glaze before serving.
GLAZE
08:20 Combine melted butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Whisk together until smooth. Mixture will be stiff, add orange juice (or milk) starting with 2 Tablespoons, and add more as needed until you have a smooth glaze that drizzles smoothly off the whisk.
09:19 Pour evenly over cooled cake. Allow glaze to set (about 30 minutes, though this can vary depending on the specific thickness of your glaze) before slicing and serving.

Hi lovely reciepes I hv tried most of ur reciepes of cakes, love them....can u please tell me if I can substitute lime juice or anything for cream of tartar n hw much please?
Wooow❤️
I love a chiffon cake, but have no tube pan because of ltd storage space. Wish you could develop a sister recipe for people like me. Until then, I’ll just order the lemon chiffon cake a local restaurant serves. It’s my favorite cake. Regardless, this looks great and I thank you for all your work as a recipe developer. 💕
I'm sorry! This one isn't going to do too well out of the tube pan. :( I'll add one to my list of things to try to do. ☺️
Your recipes are quick and simple, to follow for aspiring homebakers... I am a huge fan of citrus based cakes and will probably try this recipe and let you know.. I feel like me , you are not into the artistic side of baking much... Still you are happy, perfecting simple stuffs without compromising the flavour or texture... Which is wat makes you very special... !
❤️ from
🇮🇳
Thank you so much! I do venture into a few artistic things from time to time but it's really not my strong suit. :)
Often ppl would just watch and go had you done it the professional/sophisticated way... But real pleasure comes from the feedback or suggestions you receive from ur viewers...!
Once again you knocked it out of the park! I do have a couple of questions...this is different than an angel food cake, right? While this is very light it still has the texture of "cake", correct? Could I make this in 8 or 9" pans, and decorate it like a regular cake? I wanted to tell you that I LOVE the fact that you make it SO simple and easy to get your recipes and print them!! AND, the way that you give so much of the info from your videos as well. You really go above and beyond to help us achieve success the same way you do. No secrets or hidden tricks!! :) Thanks, again and God bless...
Thank you so much, Deb! So, I sort of consider this cake to be a cousin to the angel food cake. It’s light and spongy but not as light as an angel food, sort of like a hybrid between angel food and classic vanilla cake. Unfortunately I don’t recommend baking in a regular 8” or 9” cake pan because inverting the cake in the tube pan is critical to achieving the perfect light texture and to keep the cake from shrinking in on itself and becoming dense as it cools. I hope that helps, and thank you so much for trusting my recipes!
@@SugarSpunRun You're a sweetheart!
Adam how do I make lemon cake what kind of lemon lemons
Do you have to use cake flour
Don’t you turn the pan upside down
and rest it on those 3 prongs?
Great cake. I luv the citrus glaze! 🍊🍊🍊
I don't really recommend it. Sometimes they can cause the sides of the pan to pull out and the cake to fall out. I always recommend putting it on a can or bottle to avoid any of these issues. :)
Can I use half cup milk and half cup Orange juice?
beautiful! any relation to a chiffon pie? looks like it’s similar to a sponge cake
Hmmm I actually haven't had a chiffon pie but from a brief search they don't appear to be very similar. I'd love to try one though. :)
@@SugarSpunRun i’d make you one if we were neighbors!
imagine a lemon meringue pie with the whites porton and yolks portion folded back together and set with knox gelatine. it’s very light and delicious, usually has a graham cracker crust.
would you like a recipe i tailored? what’s an email i can send it to? it’s actually a template that’s usually used for citrus (lemon, grapefruit) but i’ve successfully made chocolate chiffon too
I like sow match....
Hi sam I do not have have a tube pan . Can I make it in a normal pan. I love to make it. Just want to know fo I need to grease it if I make it in normal round oan
I don't really recommend the normal round pan. You really need to invert this cake to keep it from becoming really dense. :(
Do you have a recipe for tarts
I have a large fruit tart recipe here: sugarspunrun.com/fruit-tart/ and if you search on my site you'll find mini tarts as well as pop tarts 😊
💖👼🏻🌺
Did you use freshly squeezed orange juice or bottled?
I just used bottled but freshly squeezed would be awesome! :)
I have a lactose intolerant family member. What can I use instead of butter in the glaze and get the same flavor?
Unfortunately I don't have a good substitute that will give you the same flavor. You can just leave it out and use the powdered sugar and orange juice.
Would that tiny bit of yolk
I have a question and it's with respect to the egg yolk mixture. Half the recipes I've come across for Chiffon Cakes instruct us to mix the yolk mixture less than a minute, make a well in the dry ingredients and pour it in. The other half instructs us to whisk the egg yolks and sugar until it reaches a pale colour and is soft and smooth. Why is this? I don't understand why there are two ways to make this cake. It can be confusing to some. I just want to know why. Thank you.
It really has to do with how the recipe is developed and what the ultimate goal is. It’s difficult to give you an exact reason each person does it a different way.
Hai can I add melted butter instead of oil ?
You can, but the cake won’t be quite as moist. 😊
I made this cake but bottom level very wet other parts are moisture,
Sorry, what's the point of inverting the pan? Also, could I do this in a layer cake instead?
Inverting the pan is key to keeping the cake light and airy much like a chiffon cake. I'm not sure how it will turn out as a layer cake because it's going to be tough to invert those pans.
Do you always use granulated sugar or is castor sugar okay
Caster sugar just has finer granules so you can use caster sugar. 😊
Thank you so much I love your recipes
What can we replace with cream of tartar
Some people use a bit of lemon or lime juice or white vinegar to help stabilize the egg whites instead, but I recommend cream of tartar for best results.
Hey can we use pineapple juice?
I haven't tried, but I think it could work. ☺️
Can I use all purpose flour?
If you make the proper substitution. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun what is the proper measurement can you please give
You need 1c of all purpose flour for every 1c + 2tbsp of cake flour so for this recipe you’ll need 2c of all purpose flour
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks a lot..200gm will be alright?
250g. Weights are the same for all purpose and cake flour. You need different amounts when using cup measurements. 😊
Separate the eggs while still cold.
YO !!!! 9:57
can i layer this??????????? oh.my.bomb.
Hmmm I haven't tried but I think it should work. ☺️
the egg whites with even a drop of yolk will still whip up, i tested it myself
i’ve read experiments on this. if your bowl or beaters have some trace grease or a teeny spot of yolk, you can likely still whip it.
if you pick the bit of yolk out with your finger, it usually solves the problem, the 1/16 teaspoon of yolk isn’t touching *all* of the whites.
more than a tiny amount either will result in a ruined batch of egg whites though so tread carefully
@@ibnkhaldoun4319 hm, cool
I love oranges but not in a cake. I'll use lemons instead.
I love using orange juice because it imparts a subtle, citrus flavor into the cake. While lemon juice would probably work too, you may need to add more sugar, since lemon juice tends to be more sour. Let me know how it turns out if you do!
You do not have to throw out an egg white with a speck of yolk. You take a wet spoon and pull it out. Why waste an entirely good egg for a recipe? I guess when you have baked for over 50 years, you tend to figure it out. Just sharing my experience. The cake was beautiful and has a fantastic taste.
*Why wouldn't you grease the pan? I feel that's a pretty risky move not greasing your pan. I make bundt cakes all the time, and if I don't grease the pan, I'm hooped! I get this isn't a bundt cake, but still.....*
This cake will fall right out when you invert it if you do grease the pan and you need it to hold in the pan. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Hmmm I still don't get it. Why does it need to be inverted when it's cooling? I know you put in on a can, but I don't understand why you even needed to do that. Can it just cool right-side up?
Love your recipes and this looks super good but girl why u gonna toss the egg white if you get yolk in it and not save it for something else it’s not like it becomes inedible super wasteful I get why u can’t use it in this recipes but for something else you can or just add it to an omelet
You can certainly save it. I typically don't have an immediate use for it though and it's just much easier to toss it than to save it for later. :)
it is NOT fine to use a non removable bottom tube pan for a chiffon cake. How would you separate the cake from the bottom if it is not removable? 🙄
I have done it with a non-removable bottom. It is just a little bit more difficult, as I mentioned. You will want to make sure to loosen the sides and center with a knife before trying to remove it.
@@SugarSpunRun I understand loosening the sides. How do you loosen the cake from the bottom if it is not removable? 😳
It should just fall out if you’ve loosened the sides and center. I’ve never had any issues.
I realize this was asked a year ago, but maybe this will also help someone else. My tube pan does not have a removable bottom (I use it for banana bread mostly) but when I make any foam cake in it, I take a parchment round that is slightly smaller than the bottom of the pan and cut out the hole in the center, place in pan and proceed with the recipe. Doing this my cakes come right out after releasing the sides and center tube.
