Lemon Chiffon Cake Recipe

One of my favorite past times is to bake yummy treats for my family. Baking is one of my favorite hobbies that is super rewarding, and it helps me to de-stress.

You can find me in the kitchen at least twice a week trying new baked goods recipes like this lemon chiffon cake.

Since the warmer weather is right around the corner, I wanted to share a delicious and seasonal favorite with you all- Lemon Chiffon Cake. This cake is not only made with fresh lemons (my favorite) but also uses several eggs.

This recipe truly does require love, patience, and attention to detail. I put a lot of love into my cake and the results were fantastically delicious!

Before I share this tasty lemon sponge cake recipe, I wanted to stress how important using a fluted tube pan is. You cannot bake this in a normal bundt pan because the batter does rise up high when baking. You do not want a cake batter explosion in your oven–I have been there, done that!

Recipe Adapted from Taste of Home

Move your oven rack to the lowest position, and then preheat your oven to 325 degrees f.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk your cake flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.

Slowy, add your lemon juice, grated lemon, water, vegetable oil, and egg yolks; mixed until combine using an electric mixer

Clean mixer whisks for the next step (below).

In a separate bowl, beat your egg whites, and cream of tartar until soft white peaks form.

Slowly fold in your egg whites into your batter

Pour mixture into an ungreased fluted tube pan and bake for 50-55 mins or until the top of the cake gently springs back when pressed.

Once cake comes out of the oven, gently press around the edges with a plastic knife to loosen it. Allow the cake to cool for about 45 minutes before frosting.

Once the cake is cooled, and on a cake stand or platter, add your whipped topping to a large piping bag with s star tip. Carefully pipe on swirls until the cake is covered. One small tub should be enough for your full cake.

Add zested lemon to the top of the cake. You can also garnish with additional lemon slices or candied lemon.

Gather your plates, and cake serving spatula-maybe a few napkins since the frosting is a little messy.

Use a large knife and cake server to gently cut each piece.
