Product Information

Because baking is equal parts art and science, it’s essential to understand the basics before improvising.

Some liquid fat, vegetable oil, is added during the mixing of Chiffon Cakes, although not in great proportion; the fat used is not to serve for its air holding qualities but rather to coat the flour proteins to prevent gluten formation. Some recipes contain chemical leaveners, but the air whipped into the eggs is the primary leavening agent. However, not all parts of the egg are equal in their foam ability; separated whites foam the best, followed by whole eggs and then yolks, only. Meringues are simply comprised of beaten egg whites and sugar without flour or fat, creating especially strong foams.Foam, sponge or unshortened cakes are distinguished by their large proportion of foamed eggs and/or egg whites to a small proportion of sugar and wheat flour. Most angel food cakes have a spongy, chewy quality derived from their relatively high sugar content and the absence of egg yolks. Named after its cloud-like appearance, Angel Food Cake contains only a few ingredients – egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, flour, salt, and flavorings.
