If it's your first cake, then the first one will be much easier to do, since it's a batter cake. Chiffon cakes require the eggs to be separated; the egg whites beaten stiffly; and the dry ingredients folded into the egg whites. They often require a tube pan too (never greased). They're similar to Angel Food cakes, but do use the egg yolks tooWhich vanilla cake recipe sounds better?
cake number one. I've eaten many a vanilla cake in my day, and nothing is worse than a dry cake. Not saying that number two would be dry, but i know that number one would be ';moist';
The first one sounds good to me. I like a moist cake with a glass of cold milk.
I think number 1 would be best. It is easier, and chiffon cakes take quite a lot of work.





Hope this helps. :D
