My second attempt at making chiffon cake which turned out even better than the first :) I made an orange one this time using my mum's recipe and it tasted much nicer than the chocolate one. Everyone loved it. It was really light, moist, spongy and citrusy.
Beautiful egg whites
Cake batter 
Look how much it rose in the tin!

- Make egg white foam by beating egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
- Add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Sieve flour, baking powder and salt twice and set aside.
- Add egg yolks, orange juice and orange zest, oil and water and beat until well mixed.
- Blend into egg white foam gently until everything is incorporated.
