Pineapple Chiffon Cake
Ingredients
  • 5
    egg yolks
  • 8
    egg whites (1 cup)
  • 2 1/4
    cups sifted cake flour
  • 1 1/2
    cups sugar
  • 3
    teaspoons baking powder
  • 1
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/2
    cup cooking oil
  • 3/4
    cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1/2
    teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Pineapple-Buttercream Icing
  • Pineapple Daisies, * (optional)
Directions

1. Allow egg whites and yolks to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add oil, egg yolks, and pineapple juice in that order. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes more or until batter is satin smooth.

2. Thoroughly wash the beaters. In a very large mixing bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Pour batter in a thin stream over beaten egg whites; fold in gently. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Set pan on a baking sheet or pizza pan.

3. Bake in a 325 degrees F oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert cake (in the pan); cool thoroughly. Loosen sides of cake from pan; remove cake.

4. Frost cooled cake with Pineapple-Buttercream Icing. If desired, decorate with Pineapple Daisies. Makes 12 servings
