Ingredients:
Gather these ingredients to create your masterpiece:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
Instructions:
Follow these simple steps to bring your Maple Walnut Chiffon Cake to life:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a tube pan by not greasing it, as the batter needs to cling to the sides while baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, egg yolks, water, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Fold in the toasted walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, invert the pan onto a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- Once cooled, feel free to drizzle some maple syrup on top or serve with whipped cream for a perfect finish!
