Orange Chiffon Celebration Cake
After a big holiday dinner you still want dessert.
You want something refreshing, a starry ending to a five-star meal.
This recipe, a healthier version of the classic chiffon cake, is made with liquid egg whites (they are in the refrigerated food section of the store), Splenda Blend for Baking, egg substitute, and canola oil.
Though the recipe contains three egg yolks, that comes out to three yolks for 20 people, a ratio that should not harm your health.
Toppings are the best part of the recipe and you will find a list of them at the end.
The fresh orange smell of the baking cake will whet your appetite.
If you are like me, you wait until the cake is barely cool, cut a small slice, and eat it.
What should you do if you only have a few dinner guests?Bake the Orange Chiffon Celebration Cake, eat what you want, and freeze the rest for future shortcakes and trifles.
