Chiffon Cake

Chiffon cake has soft texture, taste like clouds, feel like a soft chiffon, so it is called Chiffon Cake.

Chiffon cake, invented in 1927 by an insurance broker in California named Harry Baker, was not made public until 1948 when Baker sold the cake shop.

Chiffon cake is very light in texture. It is made of rapeseed oil, eggs, sugar, flour and powder. Since rapeseed oil is not as easily bubbling as butter (butter is traditionally used), egg white needs to be foamed to provide enough air to support the size of the cake. Chiffon cake contains enough rapeseed oil and eggs, so the texture is very wet, not as easy to harden as traditional butter cake. Therefore, it is more suitable for cakes that need refrigeration. It also contains less saturated fat.

Chiffon cake is one of the most popular cakes at present because of its loose organization, high moisture content, light taste and tender taste. Although chiffon cake is very soft, it has elasticity and no soft rotten feeling. It is delicious to eat with various sauces. In addition, chiffon cake can also be made into various cake rolls, Boston pies and so on.

Angel cake is very different from other cakes. Its cotton-like texture and color are made from hard foamed egg white, sugar and white flour. It does not contain butter or oil, so the egg white foam can better support the cake.To make angel cakes, the egg white is first beaten into stiff peaks formed and then folded into other materials with a light folding technique. Angel cakes are fat-free, so they are very light in taste and texture. Angel cakes are difficult to cut with a knife. The knife can press down the cake easily.
