Ingredients

• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 6 large eggs, separated
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Caramel Drizzle Chiffon Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 10-inch tube pan by not greasing it; the batter needs to cling to the sides for proper rising.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the oil, egg yolks, water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Once baked, invert the pan onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely in the pan.
8. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Be gentle when folding in the egg whites to maintain the airy texture.
• Allow the cake to cool completely to prevent it from collapsing.
• If making your own caramel sauce, let it cool slightly before drizzling.

Easy Variations

• Add a hint of espresso to the batter for a mocha twist.
• Incorporate chocolate chips or nuts into the batter for added texture.
• Top with whipped cream or fresh fruit to enhance the presentation.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing.
• Fresh berries to add a pop of color and tartness.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce for those who love a double dessert.
