Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 7 ounces almond paste
  • 5 - egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 8 - egg whites
  • - confectioner’s sugar for dusting

How To Make ricciarelli chiffon cake:

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • Step 2
    Cream the almond paste until smooth, then add egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, oil, water and extracts. Cream together until smooth; set aside.
  • Step 3
    Whip the egg whites until foamy then add 1/2 cup sugar and whip until they form stiff peaks. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture over the whites and fold in gently using a rubber spatula. Repeat two more times with remaining flour.
  • Step 4
    Slowly fold the egg white mixture into the almond paste mixture... a little at a time.
  • Step 5
    Place batter into an ungreased 10-Inch tube or Bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Step 6
    Invert the pan over the neck of a bottle to cool. I sometimes also let it rest on several inverted coffee mugs.
  • Step 7
    Once cooled, dust with lots of confectioners’ sugar and serve.
