Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange the oven so you can bake the cake on the lowest rack. Set aside a a 10- inch tube pan (Angel Food Cake pan).
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks, water, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest. When combined, add this into the bowl with the flour mixture. Mix on medium-low speed until combined and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Place the egg whites in a separate large mixing bowl with the cream of tartar. With the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula until combined. Spoon the batter into the un-greased tube pan.
- Place the pan on the lowest rack and bake for 50 minutes, or until golden and set. Cake will spring back when pressed lightly.
- When the cake is done, immediately invert the pan. I like to place the pan on a wine bottle upside-down. This allows the pan to cool without trapping steam underneath, while not allowing the cake to deflate.
- Allow the cake to cool for at least an hour.
- When cooled, run a butter knife around the sides of the cake to release it from the pan. Gently lift the cake out. Run the knife under the cake to release it from the bottom cake pan. Place the cake on a platter.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix together the butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Turn the mixer up to medium speed and beat for 1-2 minutes until creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary,
- Spread the frosting on top of the cake.

LEMON CHIFFON CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE
This is a wonderfully easy cake to make for Passover. It has a nice light lemon taste and the strawberry sauce is a great compliment. However, feel free to use the sauce of your choice or other accompaniment. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. The sauce can be made several days ahead and brought to room temperature to serve. The sauce makes 2 cups. I let each person apply their own sauce rather than pouring over the entire cake. This recipe was originally found in the "Let My People Eat!" cookbook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and have ready an ungreased 7-inch tube pan. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, vegetable oil, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Add reserved dry ingredients, and beat until smooth.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually add remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar; beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually fold egg-white mixture into the batter; start by folding in 1/3, then fold in the remaining 2/3. Pour batter into pan. Using an offset spatula, smooth the top. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean and the cake is golden, about 45 minutes.
- Remove cake from oven; invert the pan over a glass soda bottle for 2 hours to cool. Turn cake right-side up. Run a table knife all the way down between cake and pan; invert again, and remove cake. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Tips:
- Use cake flour for a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them emulsify with the butter and sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
This lemon chiffon cake with strawberry frosting is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is light and fluffy, with a tangy lemon flavor. The frosting is sweet and creamy, with a hint of strawberry. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
