Using a spatula, add ⅓ of meringue into egg yolk mixture and fold in lightly. You'd want to be as gentle as you can so as to ensure you do not deflate the egg whites too much.
Add in another ⅓ of the meringue and fold - again, remember to be gentle. This is to ensure you'd achieve a fluffy cake.
Finally add the remaining meringue and fold to incorporate completely. If your meringue is not completely homogenous with your egg yolk mixture, when the cake is baked, you would find white streaks.
Pour batter into a 22cm/9" chiffon cake tube pan. The best chiffon cake pan to use is the aluminium pan with removable base. The non-stick ones are not suitable and DO NOT grease your chiffon cake pan.
Knock the cake pan lightly on the tabletop to remove air pockets. If you skip this step, you may find holes within your cake after baking.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. When cake is done, remove from oven and invert it on a wire rack, leaving it to cool. Please make sure the cake is left upside down until completely cool or the cake will collapse.
Once cake has cooled completely, carefully run a palette knife or spatula around the sides of the cake to loosen it before inverting onto a cake board or serving plate. The base of your cake, would be the top.
Slice cake to your desired serving size, and enjoy.
