GUAVA CHIFFON CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare three 9-inch cake pans by lightly greasing them, dusting with flour, and shaking out the excess.
- Sift together the flour with 2/3 cups of sugar, the baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the oil, water, nectar, yolks, vanilla, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour the yolks into the flour, and mix until the batter is smooth, mix in food coloring until desired shade is reached. Beat together egg whites with the cream of tartar in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of sugar, and beat until stiff. Gently fold whites into batter. Pour into prepared cake pans.
- Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Run a metal spatula or small knife around the edges of the cake to loosen, and allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Bringing your ingredients to room temperature before you start baking will help them mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This step is essential for creating a light and airy cake. Make sure you cream the butter and sugar together for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
- Gradually Add the Eggs: Adding the eggs all at once can cause the batter to curdle. Instead, add them one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully baked.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
