  • 1/2 c cooking oil

  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites, vanilla essence, and cream of tartar for 2 minutes, then add in sugar and beat for another 2 minutes.
  • Take out about 1/4 c of flour mixture at a time and sift above beaten egg whites while folding lightly and mixture combined well (until all flour mixture is used up).

  • Pour yolk mixture into egg white mixture, stir lightly until combined well.
  • Pour batter into 10 inch chiffon pan (tube pan) and bake for 45 minutes
  • Turn pan upside down on a bottle (see picture) - unless your pan has "feet" (on picture you can see that mine has feet but am still using the bottle as well, to show), and let it stand upside down for 45 minutes.
  • Serve as is, with additional topping, or cover in buttercream and decorate as you please.
