Orange Chiffon Cake

The recipe I used was from:


80g cake flour
2g salt
4g baking powder
50g granulated sugar
40g canola oil
3 eggs, separated
40g orange juice
20g water
2g vanilla extract
30g sugar
1/8 tsp cream of tartar

I followed the recipe except that I omit the orange zest (since I didn't have any) and I used a bundt pan instead of a tube pan. The cake came out pillowy soft. The taste of orange was not too strong though.

1. Preheat oven to 360F.
2. In a mixing bowl, measure 80g cake flour, 2g salt, 4g baking powder, 50g granulated sugar and 40g canola oil. Mix well with a blender set on low.
3. Add into the same mixing bowl 3 egg yolks, 40g orange juice, 20g water and 2g vanilla extract. Mix until combined and smooth at medium speed but do not overmix.
4. In another bowl, blend 3 egg whites with 30g sugar and 1/8 tsp cream of tartar until soft peak forms.
5. Fold egg white mixture into orange batter. Gently mix until color is uniform.
6. Pour into bundt pan and bake for 30 mins.


Note: Good recipe.
