How to make chiffon cake

Overview

Chiffon cake is a type of sponge cake with a very light texture. It uses vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder as basic materials. Since vegetable oil does not foam as easily as butter, the egg white needs to be beaten into a foam to provide enough air to support the volume of the cake. Chiffon cake contains less saturated fat, so it is suitable for people of all ages.
