An extremely fluffy and light cake with the subtle orange flavor. This Orange Chiffon Cake is one of the best cakes you will come across. Perfect for a tea time party or simply because you love how fluffy it is
Ingredients
- 7 egg yolks
- 5 tbsp Oil, unflavored
- 60 grams castor sugar
- dash of salt
- 1-2 drops orange food coloring
- 1 tbsp grated orange zest
- 70 ml orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 120 grams Self-raising flour
- 7 egg whites
- ¼ tsp lemon juice
- 140 grams castor sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the egg yolks and 6o grams castor sugar together
- Once mixed, add the salt and oil. Mix well until all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture seems creamy
- To this add the orange color, orange zest, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Mix well and fold in the self-raising flour. Once done, set this mixture aside
- In another bowl roughly beat the egg whites. Add the lemon juice and continue beating till it reaches soft peaks. At this point keep adding the 140 grams of sugar a little at a time and beat well until all the sugar is well dissolved and forms really stiff peaks
- Now, using a spatula combine the stiff egg whites with the egg yolk & flour mixture. Fold in the egg whites using a spatula carefully. Do not over mix this mixture. Once well-combined transfer the mixture in a 9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper at the base making sure it is not greased with butter or oil. Do not put parchment on the sides of the baking dish
- Tap the baking dish before baking to remove excess air bubbles from this mixture
- Once ready, bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees C for 50-60 mins. The cake should spring back when pressed in the center. That's when you know it is well baked
- After baking, let the cake cool upside down on a wire rack until it comes to room temperature. Pass a knife through the sides of the baking dish and unmold the cake
