Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 0.75 cup wáter; 0.5 cup cocoa; 1 cup flour; 1 cup sugar; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 0.5 cup salad oil; 7 egg yolks; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 7 egg whites; 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar

This cocoa chiffon cake is a light, airy cake that gets its lift from stiffly beaten egg whites. Made with oil and water, it's naturally dairy-free. The process starts by combining cocoa and water, then mixing the dry ingredients with the egg yolks, oil, and cooled cocoa. Those two mixtures are then gently folded together to create that signature chiffon texture.
