2 cups sifted cake flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable oil
7 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wash angel food tube pan in hot soapy water to ensure it is totally grease-free.

Absolutely delightful! The poppy seeds added a lovely nutty flavor and the chiffon texture was light and airy. I served it with fresh berries and whipped cream, and it was a hit with my family.
