Burnt Sugar Chiffon Cake image

Adapted from a recipe by Ellen at allrecipes.com. A caramel/custard flavored chiffon cake. Use extra-large eggs to get enough egg white (large eggs will be a little shy of the needed volume).

Time 1h30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
7 egg yolks
1/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F
  • Place 1 c sugar in a deep, dry, non-stick pan. Heat slowly until it melts and turns medium-brown. Add the boiling water (stand back in case it boils up) and stir until smooth. Let cool to warm room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, 1 1/2 c sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add caramel, oil, egg yolks, cold water and vanilla. Beat with wooden spoon until smooth.
  • In a very clean dry bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until very stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter. Pour into an ungreased 9" or 10" tube pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven 65-70 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes, then remove to a rack until completely cool. Serve with caramel sauce on the side, if desired.
