Banana Chiffon Cake Recipe


Ingredients:

2 cups flour1½ cups white sugar1 tablespoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt1 large, ripe banana½ cup vegetable oil7 large eggs, whites and yolks separated1 tsp vanilla extract½ teaspoon almond extract¾ cup cold water½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside.In a separate bowl, mash the banana.

Add oil, egg yolks, vanilla and almond extracts, and the cold water.

Add the oil mixture to the flour mixture, and whisk batter until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

With a rubber spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter just until combined – it is important not to over-mix at this step.

Pour batter into an ungreased 10” angel food cake pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Invert pan over counter (if your angel food pan does not have “legs” around the top rim to hold the cake off the counter when inverted, then invert the pan onto a sturdy bottle neck).

Allow cake to cool completely in this upside down position.
When cool, turn the pan right side up again and run a sharp, thin knife or spatula around the edges to release the cake from the pan.

Turn cake out onto a platter; frost or simply dust with powdered sugar. My mother used a browned butter frosting and the flavor was a perfect match.



Dark Chocolate Chiffon Cake


Ingredients:

CAKE
5 Large egg whites1/2 tsp Cream of tartar 1 package Devils food cake mix-18.25oz 3 Large egg yolks3/4 cup Water 1/2 cup Vegetable oil 1 t Instant coffee powder 1 tsp Vanilla extract FROSTING 3 t Butter 3 t Unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup Confectioners sugar difted 2 t Whole milk 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Preparation:

Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325.

1. TO MAKE THE CAKE: place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

2. Place the cake mix, egg yolks, water, oil coffee powder, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, and with the same beaters used to beat the egg whites (no need to clean them), blend with an electric mixer for 1 minute.
Stop, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium, and beat for 2 minutes longer, scraping the side down if needed.

The batter should look well blended. Turn the beaten egg whites out on top of the batter, and with the spatula, fold the whites into the batter until the mixture is light but well combined. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10" tube pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.

4. Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly pressed, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 48-52 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and immediately turn it upside down over the neck of a glass bottle to cool for an hour. Remove the pan from the bottle. Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake, and invert it onto a rack, then invert it again onto a serving platter.

5. TO MAKE THE FROSTING: Place the butter and cocoa in a medium mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop, and add the sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.

Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until fluffy, 1 minute longer. Spread the frosting on top and sides of the cake with clean, smooth strokes. Slice and serve.Nutrient InformationCalories 270 Total Fat 15g Saturated Fat 4g Carbohydrates 31g Protein 4g Sodium 310mg Fiber 1g

For example how much vanilla will be placed on making the cake or how much vanilla will be mixed with the frosting.
