Lemon Chiffon Cake
Taste a recipe classic! Feeling nostalgic is a natural side effect of enjoying each light, refreshing lemon-flavored bite.

2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
7 egg yolks or 5 egg yolks
1 cup egg white (8 eggs)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Creamy Lemon Glaze (See Below)


1. Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 325ºF.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Beat in cold water, oil, vanilla, lemon peel and 7 egg yolks (if using all-purpose flour) or 5 egg yolks (if using cake flour) until smooth.
3. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually pour egg yolk mixture over beaten egg whites, folding with rubber spatula just until blended. Pour into ungreased angel food cake pan (tube pan), 10x4 inches.
