Chiffon Cake (Orange) - The Making of

Jia Tyan taught Jia Nin how to bake a chiffon cake, which we ate as the dessert portion of the reunion dinner. Yummy!

Adding orange zest to egg yolks, flour (sifted and mixed with baking powder, sugar), orange juice, oil.

Our Kitchen Aid stand mixer, a great labor saving device.  Just remember to start off slow and increase speed gradually unless you want flour all over the place!

In a separate bowl, beating the egg whites with cream of tartar.

Folding meringue into batter. "Cut and sweep" method.

Into the pan.

Out of the oven.  Cooling upside down to prevent the cake from collapsing on itself from the weight.

Done.

Out of the baking pan.
