3. Sift in flour mixture and mix until well blended.
4. Whisk egg whites until foamy, add cream of tartar and beat for a little while. Gradually add in sugar and beat on high speed till peaks form (reduce to med speed later to avoid big air bubbles).
5. FOLD IN 1/3 of egg white into egg yolk mixture gently with a spatula until just blended. FOLD IN remaining 2/3 of egg white into the egg yolk mixture. Take care not to over blended.
6. Pour the batter into a chiffon cake pan. Lightly drop the pan on hard surface 1-2 times to release air bubbles and bake for 45 minutes. Do not open the oven door while it’s baking or the cake won’t rise.
7. Invert the cake IMMEDIATELY after baking to let cool. Remove the cake from the pan when it is completely cool.
