According to numerous requests chefs put up the recipe for a Classic chiffon sponge cake. Photo from the archive, so I apologize in advance for their quality. A little history: In 1927, the recipe for chiffon cupcakes (because they were named for extraordinary tenderness and lightness) was invented by Harry Baker, a Hollywood insurance agent. Twenty years later, in 1947, he sold the patent to the firm "General Mills" and chiffon cakes were produced on an industrial scale. Since these cupcakes have liquid vegetable oil instead of hard fat, drive a lot of air in this oil is impossible. Therefore, in such cakes (cupcakes) put almost twice the amount of protein in relation to egg yolks, which are whipped thoroughly, incorporating plenty of air (by the way, the option of disposal of surplus proteins). This air and the moisture evaporating from the dough and lift the cake. However, due to a decent amount of oil you have to add baking powder - baking powder (not soda! since acid test is not).
