Small Kid time Recipes: Guava Chiffon Cake

GUAVA CHIFFON CAKE

Batter:
2-3/4 cups cake flour
2/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup salad oil
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup guava juice concentrate, thawed, undiluted
5 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-3 drops red food coloring

Meringue:
7 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar

Preheat oven at 325 degrees and lightly grease the bottom of an 11-by-13-inch pan.

To make batter, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Make a well in the center; add oil, water, guava juice, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat with a spoon until mixture is smooth. Add food coloring. Set aside.

To make meringue, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar until stiff.

Gently fold batter into meringue until barely mixed. Pour into pan. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
