EGG REPLACEMENT

Firstly, I’m not someone who would substitute eggs for this recipe but just in case, some of you are curious to do so here’s what you can do 

You can use egg replacement powder. 

Measurement: 1 egg = ½ tablespoon egg replacement powder + 2 tablespoons of water

Next, you need to mix the water and powder together, after that, beat it up on high speed using a beater till stiff and add to the batter just like you would add the eggs

PREPARING THE CAKE BATTER – CHIFFON CAKE MIXING METHOD AND PERFECT RECIPE 

Above all, the main ingredient you require in this cake batter is egg whites. So, once the egg whites are beaten you’ll notice that it’s literally 2 times or more as compared to the prepared cake batter which needs to be combined. Do not overfold the batter. Therefore, all you want to do is combine all the ingredients. In other words, if you overwork this batter, the egg whites will lose it fluffiness and as a result, yield a flat cake or probably an eggy textured cake. 

Firstly, traditionally chiffon cakes are baked in a tube pan but you do not need the tube pan for this recipe. Also, chiffon Cakes are tilted upside down once baked, but for this one, you do not have to do so. So, as long as you’ve beat up the egg whites well your good to go !!
