Search for the Best Chiffon Cake Contest

Sponsored by the Virginia Egg Council

Just What is a Chiffon Cake?

The classic Chiffon Cake seems not to come out of an oven, rather from a dream a mile high. It’s as light as a feather, yet also tender and moist - a real cross between angel food and pound cakes. It’s made with whole eggs and usually vegetable oil while angel food cakes use just egg whites and no fat and traditional pound cakes call for whole eggs and butter. This classic post 2nd world war cake is making a resurgence. We’re starting to see it in magazines and food columns, and soon enough they’ll have a cake mix for it!

Meanwhile - the only way to try one is with an old family recipe. We’re in search of the best chiffon cake recipe we can find in Virginia. Dig out those family recipes and contact your local county fair for contest details. Winners from each county fair have a chance to compete for top state honors at the State Fair of Virginia this fall, held in Richmond.

Contest Information - County Fair Level Prizes:

• • 1st place - A gift basket from the Virginia Egg Council will be sent. May compete at state level
• • 2nd place - May compete at state level
• • 3rd place - May compete at state level

Rules:

• • Open to any individual who is a Virginia resident; one entry per person. Participant does not have to reside in county where fair is held. Local fairs are asked to waive any residency requirements. Participants are eligible to participate in ONE contest one time.
Entry must be a baked chiffon cake, made from “scratch” - no mixes used. A minimum of 6 large eggs must be used. Frosting or icing is optional. If the cake is submitted frosted or glazed, the recipe for frosting, icing or glaze must be included on the same sheet. Entire cake must be submitted on cardboard/disposable container for judging.
• • Recipe must list ingredients in order of use. Preparation instructions, pan size and cooking time and temperatures, must be included. Written recipe must be printed on one side of page and must be submitted with the baked entry. Reverse side of page must include recipe contestant’s name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address.
• • This is an adult competition. Should a minor (under 18 years old) chose to enter, he/she will be judged as an adult.

Notes:

• 1) After the whole cake is judged, consider creative
uses for the remaining dessert portions you don’t want to display.
• 2) Fairs are in charge of safe food handling procedures.
• 3) A sample judging form is enclosed. Modifications are acceptable.
• 4) Fairs will determine whether or not to share judges’ results with participants.
