LIGHT AS AIR CHIFFON CAKE
Taken from the King Arthur flour website, I made the chocolate version for my boyfriend's birthday and everyone loved it. To make the chocolate version, replace 1/4 cup of flour with 1/3-1/2 cup of dutch process cocoa.

Steps:
- Separate the eggs carefully; even a small mount of yolk in the whites will prevent them from beating up properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar and contine beating until stiff and glossy. Set aside.
- Whisk together the remaining 1 cup sugar with the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the oil, milk, egg yolks and flavorings until pale yellow. Add the dry ingredients and beat until well blended, about 2 minutes at medium speed using a mixer, or longer by hand.
- Gently fold in the whipped egg whites, using a wire whip or cake blender. Be sure to scrap the bottom of the bowl so the batter is well-blended.
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan or angel food pan, or two 9-inch round ungreased cake pans.
- Bake the cake in a preheated 325 degree oven. If it's in a tube or angel food pan, bake it for 50 minutes, then turn up the heat to 350 for the final 10 minutes, making a total baking time of 1 hour. If you're using two 9-inch pans, bake for about 40 minutes at 325, then 10 minutes more at 350.
- NOTE: Don't open the oven during the first 45 minutes of baking; the cake will rise high above the pan, then settle back almost even.
- It's done when a finger gently pressed in the middle doesn't leave a print, and you can hear a crackling sound if you listen carefully.
- Cool the cake upside down for 1/2 hour before removing it from the pan.
- If you've used a tube pan, set it atop a thin-necked bottle, theading the bottle neck through the hole in the tube.
- NOTE: Dip a serrated knife in hot water between each slive if you want smooth, even pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 355 degrees F. Add the egg yolks, vegetable oil, water, vanilla, salt, and half of the sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine. (The remaining half of the sugar will be used for the egg whites.)
- Sift the cake flour and baking powder, into the egg yolk mixture in three batches. Fold after each time until well combined. Avoid over mixing.
- Add the egg whites and cream of tarter to a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium high speed while adding the remaining half of the sugar. Add the sugar in three batches until you've reached firm peaks. See Note 1.
- Add half the beaten egg whites to the egg yolk mixture. Fold gently to combine then add the remaining half. Fold gently again to avoid deflating the batter. The batter should be light, airy, and fluffy.
- Spray the inside of your ungreased, aluminum chiffon cake pan with water including the inner tube. This helps prevent the cake from sticking too much to the pan once baked. Pour the batter into the pan and fill up to 75% full otherwise you may risk overflow.
- Bake at 355 degrees F for 25 to 35 minutes. Your baking time will depend on how shallow or deep your pan is. See Note 2. Check after 25 minutes for doneness. It's ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is a golden brown color. If your pan is tall and deep, you may have to bake it longer.
- Remove from the oven and immediately flip the chiffon pan upside down to invert it. Cool it down as soon as possible to prevent it from sinking and deflating.Drape a cold, damp towel over it to cool it down as quickly as possible. Rinse the towel under cold water and wring it dry. Drape it over the pan again and repeat this process until the pan is no longer hot. See Note 3.
- Once the cake has cooled, flip over the pan and carefully run a knife along the sides of the pan to help remove it. Then run a knife along the bottom of the pan to remove it from the base.
- Invert the cake again so the flat side is facing up and dust on powdered sugar. Slice and serve.

LIGHT AS AIR BANANA CAKE
All I can say is Yummy! This cake is sponge-like, but moist. You can put almost any frosting/filling with it- Cream cheese frosting, butter cream, chocolate frosting and it all tastes wonderful. Adults as well as kids love this one. I've had this one for years.

Steps:
- Burnt honey
- Bring honey to a boil in a medium saucepan (slightly larger than you think you'll need because the honey will bubble up) over medium heat and cook until golden brown and toasty smelling, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt. Carefully pour in cream (this will help stop the cooking). The honey will bubble and sputter, so be careful. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until homogenous. Let burnt honey mixture cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Cover and chill until cold, at least 3 hours. Do ahead: Burnt honey mixture can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
- Poached rhubarb
- Bring cardamom (if using), sugar, and ¾ cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- If using cardamom, remove from heat, cover, and let sit 15 minutes to infuse. Set syrup back over medium-high heat and return to a boil.
- Add rhubarb and cook until mixture just starts to bubble again; remove from heat. Cover and let sit until rhubarb pieces are softened but still hold their shape, 70-80 minutes. Do ahead: Rhubarb can be poached 1 day ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
- Cake and assembly
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat cake pan with nonstick spray or lightly oil. Line bottom with a parchment paper round and spray or oil round. Pour sesame seeds into pan and gently shake and tilt pan to coat bottom and sides, pat out any excess. Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
- Whisk egg yolks, tahini, 6 Tbsp. (75 g) sugar, and 3 Tbsp. room-temperature water in a small bowl to combine. Add dry ingredients and whisk well; set batter aside.
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed just until foamy bubbles appear, about 15 seconds. With the motor running, sprinkle in remaining 2 Tbsp. (25 g) sugar a teaspoonful at a time, beating 15-20 seconds after each addition to incorporate before adding more. (Take the time to build a strong meringue and your cake will thank you for it.) Beat until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Using a rubber spatula, add one third of meringue to reserved batter and fold until just streaky, taking care not to deflate meringue. Repeat two more times, dividing remaining meringue in half and mixing the final addition until no streaks remain. Immediately scrape batter into prepared pan and lightly tap pan on counter to evenly distribute and even out size of bubbles.
- Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean and top is puffed and bounces back when gently pressed, 30-35 minutes. Immediately invert cake onto a wire rack, peel away parchment round, and turn right side up. Let cool (the top will flatten as it cools). Invert cake onto a cake or other large plate so sesame crust is on top.
- Beat chilled burnt honey mixture and cream in the clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (a medium bowl and a whisk will also work) until medium firm peaks form. (You want that perfect dollop consistency, where it holds its shape on a plate but still has some slack.)
- To serve, slice cake into six wedges with a serrated knife, using a long, gentle sawing motion. This will help preserve the crumb of the cake and give you a clean wedge. Divide, cut side down, among plates and spoon a couple of heaping tablespoonfuls burnt honey cream alongside. Using a fork, lift 3-4 rhubarb pieces out of the syrup and arrange next to cake. Drizzle a little rhubarb syrup over the cake if desired. Do ahead: Cake can be baked 2 days ahead; keep tightly wrapped at room temperature. Burnt honey cream can be made 3 hours ahead; cover and chill. Beat again briefly before using if needed.
CHIFFON CAKE
This light and airy cake is one of my favourite things to make. Unlike other sponge cakes, chiffon cake is low in sugar and is very moist. It's fluffiness is achieved by folding in whipped egg whites (meringue) with the batter, and the fact that it is baked in a tube pan allows it to rise tall and not collapse.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two large mixing bowls.
- Whisk the egg yolks along with 20g sugar, flour, oil, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract and set aside. Do not over-whisk.
- Using an electric whisk or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until foamy, then whisk in the sugar in 3 small increments (20g at a time) and add the cream of tartar.
- Continue to whisk for about 10-15 mins until the mixture is light and airy. You can check if it is ready by turning the bowl upside down - if the mixture does not drip and stays in place then it is ready.
- Slowly fold the egg white mixture into the batter in small increments (about 3 times), and continue to cut and fold the mixture until it is fully combined. Do not over-mix.
- Grease the bottom of an 8-inch tube pan and pour the mixture in. Gently tap on the table a few times to ensure that it is evenly spread. Bake in the oven for about 40-50 mins, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- If you are using an angel-food cake pan, place the pan upside-down on a wire rack. If you are using a chiffon cake pan, place the pan upside-down on a tall heavy bottle. Cooling the cake upside-down will help it stretch downwards instead of collapsing.
- Allow it to cool fully before removing it from the pan. To release the cake from the pan, gently use a knife to remove the cake from the sides.
