Fresh Apple Chiffon Cake Recipe
Chiffon cakes rely on well-beaten egg
whites for lightness and height. Make sure bowls
and beaters are clean, dry and free of grease so whites beat to maximum volume.

Oven Temp ~ 325°
Baking Time ~ 1 Hour & 15 Min.
Pan Type ~ 10 inch tube pan |
Preheat oven, have
a 9 to 10-inch tube pan ready. If pan has a removable
bottom, do nothing to it. If not, lightly grease and line bottom with waxed
paper. Lightly grease paper.
Beat egg whites in a large bowl
with electric mixer on medium speed until frothy.
Gradually increase mixer speed to high, adding granulated sugar 1 tablespoon
at a time.
Beat until whites greatly increase in volume and are thick and glossy, and
stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted.
In another large bowl, with electric mixer on high (no need to wash
beaters), beat brown sugar, apple juice, oil, egg yolks and vanilla extract until well
blended. Gradually beat in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves. Stir in
shredded apples.
Stir about 1/3 the whites into the apple mixture. Pour apple mixture into
remaining
whites and gently stir (fold) with a rubber spatula until no white streaks
remain.
Pour into tube pan and smooth top. Bake until pick inserted
near center of cake comes out clean. Invert tube pan onto a wire rack or
hang on the neck of a glass bottle. Let cool completely.
Run knife around edges and the tube and remove pan. Loosen and remove
bottom, or peel off paper. Place cake right side up on serving plate. Drizzle with
caramel sauce.
