Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups cake flour (sifted)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 7 large egg yolks
- ½ cup fresh strawberry puree
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 7 large egg whites (room temperature)
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
For the Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting:
- 2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup fresh strawberry puree
- Fresh strawberries (sliced, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prep the Strawberries
Wash and hull fresh strawberries. Blend into a smooth puree. Divide into portions for the batter and frosting.
Step 2: Prepare the Dry Mix
In a large bowl, sift together cake flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Wet Mixture
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, strawberry puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add this to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites
Using a stand mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Slowly add remaining ¾ cup sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Step 5: Fold and Bake
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the strawberry batter in three additions. Do not overmix—this keeps the cake fluffy.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool the Cake
Invert the cake pan immediately and let it cool completely upside down (about 1 hour). This prevents the cake from collapsing.
Step 7: Make the Frosting
Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Add strawberry puree and beat until stiff peaks form. Chill for 30 minutes.
Step 8: Assemble and Decorate
- Gently release the cooled chiffon cake from the pan. Frost with strawberry whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.
- Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving for best flavor.
