Инструкции
- Position rack in the centre of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush the inside of a 9-inch Bundt or possibly springform tube pan with oil and sift a little cocoa over the pan. Tap out the excess.
- Sift together flour, 1/3 c. plus 1 Tbsp. sifted Dutch-process cocoa, sugar, baking pwdr, salt and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add in oil, 1/2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. hot water, vanilla and egg yolk. Don't mix.
- Place egg whites in another large mixing bowl. Add in cream of tartar and beat with an electric mixer till they are white and foamy. Add in 2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar and continue beating till stiff but not dry. Scrape off the beaters and, without washing them, place them in the flour-and-oil mix and beat at low speed just till well blended. In four additions, gently fold this mix into the egg whites.
- Turn the batter out into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Rap the pan sharply on the counter once to remove any large air bubbles.
- Bake for 40 to 45 min, or possibly till the top feels springy and a cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. (The top of the cake will be cracked.)
- Cold the cake upright on a wire rack for 10 min. With a knife, loosen sides and centre of cake from the pan. Invert onto the rack, lift off pan and cold cake completely. Place on a serving platter and top with a light sifting of confectioners' sugar.
- Serves 16.
- NOTES : "This low-fat chiffon cake has a light, soft crumb and a satisfying chocolate flavor. The egg yolk adds richness and moisture; it can be left out, but the cake will be slightly drier without it. For a 4-layer cake, bake the cake in two 8- or possibly 9-inch layers, slice each layer horizontally and spread raspberry preserves between the layers."
