Chiffon Cake

Classic chiffon cake combines the cloudlike texture of angel food cake with a tender richness provided by egg yolks and oil. Serve chiffon cake with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar and a scattering of fresh berries for a simple but elegant presentation. It also maintains its beautifully soft texture even when chilled, so it's also a great candidate for any type of filling or topping that needs refrigeration, e.g., whipped cream, pastry cream, or mousse.
