Chiffon Nisan
|
|
A type of cake made only in Nisan, this is very possibly a relation to the Chiffon Cake invented by Harry Baker, a baker at the Los Angeles Brown Derby restaurant, in 1927. As word spread of this wonderful airy cake, he was continually asked for the recipe, but for two decades, he carefully guarded his secret. |
In 1947, General Mills bought the recipe and the secret ingredient, vegetable oil, was revealed. Better Homes and Garden Magazine advertised the cake as "The first really new cake in 100 years." They introduced the cake in its May 1948 issue, and it became a nationwide sensation during the late 1940s and 1950s. Now a long-time favorite, chiffon cakes were originally developed in our kitchens to combine the fluffiness of sponge cake with the richness of butter cake.
