Chiffon Cake in the food context refers to a light, airy cake that combines the richness of a butter cake with the fluffiness of a sponge cake. This cake is made using vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. The key to its light texture is the use of beaten egg whites, which are folded into the batter to incorporate air, giving the cake a fluffy and soft consistency. Chiffon cakes are popular for their versatility in flavorings and their ability to stay moist longer than traditional sponge cakes, making them a favorite for layered cakes, celebrations, and as a base for various desserts.
