Vanilla Chiffon Cake recipe | Basic vanilla chiffon cake

Hello there... Today I am here with a soft, light and fluffy vanilla chiffon cake. This is a basic recipe you can use. Chiffon cake is a type of foam cake, which has a high ratio of eggs to flour and is leavened mainly from the air beaten into the eggs.

I love to eat its own, savoring the light, soft and airy texture of the cake. But of course, you can also dress it up like adding glazes and frosting. We need an ungreased 7-inch pan that is not non-stick(height 2.5 inches). The chiffon cake batter needs that grip to rise beautifully at its maximum height. When we take the baked chiffon cake out of the oven, it should cool it on top of a wire rack upside down.
To unmold cake, loosen the sides with a knife or a spatula. Carefully press the sides of the cake to loosen it more. Lift the pan to release the cake and loosen the bottom of the cake again in the same manner.
