How To Make heavenly chiffon cake (tnt)

  • Step 1
    In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add oil, yolks and water. Beat with electric mixer on low to medium speed until combined. Beat on high speed for about 5 minutes or until satin smooth. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    Thoroughly wash beaters. In a very large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Pour batter in thin stream over egg whites; gently fold together. Pour batter into an ungreased 10" tube pan. Place pan on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Bake in a 325 oven for 60-65 minutes, or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert cake in pan. Cool completely. Gently loosen sides of cake from pan with a spatula or knife. Invert cake over a serving plate and remove pan. Drizzle with Browned Butter Icing and sprinkle with nuts. Makes 12 servings.
  • Step 3
    Browned Butter Icing: In a small pan, heat 3 tablespoons butter over medium low heat for about 15 minutes or until browned. Remove browned butter from heat. Place 2 cups sifted powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in browned butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3-4 tablespoons milk until icing consistency. Makes 3/4 cup.
