Peppermint Chiffon Cake Recipe

 

 

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

• 2 1/2 cups cake flour
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 7 eggs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 15 drops red food coloring

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Separate the eggs.
3. Sift the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil, egg yolks, water, peppermint extract and vanilla extract. Beat with mixer on low for 1 minute.
4. Beat egg whites with cream of tarter until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Pour 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl and tint with the food coloring.
5. Alternate large spoonfuls of red and plain batter into an ungreased tube or bundt pan. Run a knife or spatula through the batter to make a swirled effect.
6. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 55 minutes. Increase heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until done. Let cake cool in pan on rack. Once cool remove from pan and frost, if desired.
