Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F and prepare an ungreased 8-inch aluminum chiffon cake tin with a removable base

  3. Sift in the flour and baking powder and whisk until just combined

  6. Add 1/3 of the meringue to the egg yolks and whisk until just combined
  7. Transfer the lightened egg yolk mixture to the remaining egg whites and gently fold until just combined
  8. Gently transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin and give the tin a few taps to remove any large air bubbles
