Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chiffon cake is made with a batter that includes egg yolks, oil, flour, and other ingredients. The batter is lightened and fluffed up with a common meringue (egg whites beaten to stiff peaks with sugar), which is then folded in. This produces a cake that is lighter and more tender than a traditional spongecake or genoise. Angel food cake is also made with a meringue but doesn't contain egg yolks or oil, while spongecake and genoise are made without any meringue at all.
