The Poppy Seed Chiffon Cake is a popular cake recipe that originated in the United States in the 1940s. It is made with canola oil, poppy seeds, and egg whites to create a light and fluffy texture, with a subtle nutty flavor that makes it perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Traditionally served with whipped cream or fresh fruit, the Poppy Seed Chiffon Cake is a healthier alternative to traditional cake recipes.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2.In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3.Add in the canola oil, poppy seeds, water, vanilla, egg yolks, and baking soda, mixing thoroughly.
4.In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
5.Fold the egg whites into the flour mixture gently until just combined.
6.Pour the batter into an ungreased 10 inch (25cm) tube pan.
7.Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 60-70 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
8.Remove from oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack until completely cool.
9.Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the cake.

PROS

The Poppy Seed Chiffon Cake is light, fluffy, and has a subtle nutty flavor.

It is a healthier alternative to traditional cake recipes as it uses canola oil instead of butter and has less sugar.

CONS

The Poppy Seed Chiffon Cake can be a bit dry if overcooked or left out too long.

It may not be suitable for those with a nut allergy as poppy seeds are derived from the opium poppy plant and can cause an allergic reaction in some people.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Poppy seeds are a good source of essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc.
They are also high in fiber and protein and may help to regulate blood sugar levels.
The use of canola oil instead of butter reduces the amount of saturated fat in the recipe, making it a healthier option.
