I think chiffon cake is really difficult. Although the steps are simple, it is really not easy to make it well. Among them, I think the most critical thing is the beating state of the egg whites. I think it will be easier to succeed if the egg whites are beaten harder. The eggs must be very fresh. A few drops of lemon juice when beating the egg whites will be very helpful to the state of the egg whites. The chiffon cake needs to be kneaded several times, so you must be patient. Recently, I practice Qifeng every day. Although I feel like there are imperfections every time, I gain something every day.
