Renee Fleming Golden Chiffon Cake

The Renee Fleming Golden Chiffon Cake

is a light, refreshing dessert

in the middle of gloomy weather.

It was incredibly easy to make,

probably one of the easiest of

Rose's sponge type cakes.

The egg whites folded in

so easily.

Finished late last night,

Ms Fleming was wrapped for the night,

and with an early morning wake up call,

sliced for breakfast!

The lemon curd was stirred up

while the cake was baking

and then mixed into the whipped cream today.

I only had 3/4's of a cup of heavy cream

but it suited me fine.

I love lemon curd and honestly

could have even gone down to 1/2 cup cream ratio.

The dried lemon zest was a bit off

instructions.

I heated up the oven, placed it inside

on a plate and turned it off.

It dried out while I tackled the

mountain of dishes.

Can't tell by this picture but it

dipped down as the recipe indicated.

Perfect for cradling lemon curd heaven.

More visible in this one.

This cake is 

definitely on the Bake Again list.
