Original chiffon cake
Overview
Before making a cake, please understand: Wet foaming: When you pull up the egg beater, it will be elastic and stand upright but the tail end will be slightly bent. Neutral foaming: The egg whites are more solidified and the cone is straighter, but still always drooping. Dry foaming or hard foaming: When the egg beater is pulled up, it is elastic and the tail end is straight. Qifeng, no matter how many different recipes there are, as long as the proportion of ingredients is balanced and appropriate. Whipping the egg whites is very important here; the technique of stirring the batter must be quick and proper; there is also the adjustment of the oven temperature and the selection of flour. Once you master these steps, you can basically avoid getting mad or going crazy (of course, slight cracking and shrinkage are not a big problem). Everything is progressing through learning.

Beat the egg whites to a neutral peak
-
Add the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk batter in two or three batches
-
Use a rubber spatula to stir evenly in a zigzag pattern (stir the previous egg white and egg yolk batter evenly before adding the next egg white)
-
Pour the batter into an 8-inch round mold, and shake the mold on the table a few times to pop any big air bubbles.
-
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees, place the cake base on the lower layer and bake for about 45-50 minutes

The baked cake will expand until it is eighty-nine percent full of the mold
