Lemon chiffon cake is a type of chiffon cake that has, not surprisingly, been flavoured with lemons.
Chiffon cake itself is a light cake - chiffon is a lightweight fabric - that can be made in different flavours. The base ingredients are baking powder, flour, eggs, vegetable oil and sugar. The vegetable oil is used instead of the butter used in other cakes, which means the texture of the cake is created by beating egg whites until they are stiff and folding them into the rest of the batter. This is a very moist cake.
Chiffon cake was first created in the 1920s - making it one of the more modern recipes - by Harry Baker, who kept the recipe secret for twenty years before selling it, to General Mills.
