Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 120 g granulated sugar (divided into 100g and 20g)
- 5 large egg yolks
- 60 g milk
- 50 g oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 400 g heavy cream (or whipping cream, cold)
- 40 g powdered sugar
- 6 large strawberries (diced, plus more whole or halved strawberries for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare your 6-inch round cake pans by greasing them lightly and lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add in 100g of granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Gradually fold this mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just incorporated.
- Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions until no white streaks remain.
- Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Allow cakes to cool completely.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip together cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once cooled, place one layer of chiffon cake on a serving plate. Spread whipped cream on top and sprinkle diced strawberries over it. Add another layer of chiffon cake and repeat until all layers are stacked.
- Top with remaining whipped cream and decorate with whole or halved strawberries for an elegant finish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
