Groovy Chiffon Cake
PEACE. LOVE. AND GROOVY VIBES ONLY! This light, lemony chiffon cake is full of bold flavors and colors and was developed to celebrate our 60th Anniversary. A chiffon cake is a hybrid between a sponge cake and a butter cake. Unlike most sponges, chiffon cake does contain both baking powder and oil; however, like a sponge cake, chiffon cakes are built on a foundation of separated, whipped egg whites and yolks. Make this rainbow cake for all of your groovy-themed parties, Pride Month, and more.
