Surprise Cinnamon Chiffon Cake Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 8 Servings

25 40 65

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, separated
6 tablespoons water
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
FILLING:
1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Directions

In a small bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk the egg yolks, water, oil and vanilla; add to dry ingredients. In another small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 7-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake. Cut a 3/4-in. slice from top of cake; set aside. Using a sharp knife, carve a tunnel out of cake, leaving a 1-in.-thick wall on all sides; carefully remove cake from tunnel. (Discard cake from tunnel or save for another use.)
For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Set aside two-thirds of mixture. Fold remaining cream mixture into the strawberries; spoon into tunnel. Replace cake top. Frost top and sides of cake with reserved cream mixture. Yield: 8 servings.
