Step 2:
- Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until frothy. Slowly add the sugar and a pinch of salt while beating at high speed. Continue beating until the egg whites are stiff and shiny, but not dry. This should take about 3 minutes to form meringue.
Step 3:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F). Use a spatula to gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the meringue (egg white mixture).
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 25 cm tube pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
- Once the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven immediately and invert the tube pan onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool before removing the cake from the pan.
Notes
- Pandan juice can be replaced with orange juice to make an Orange Chiffon Cake variant.
