Still remember many years back, my friend (Ann) taught me how to to bake the easiest cake, by using chinese bowl to measure the ingredients. My first orange chiffon cake come out successfully & it encouraged me to bake more. For 1st timers, try this & you will sure like the cake. Today I taught my Princess Stephenie this cake and it turned out perfectly with satisfaction.

INGREDIENT

10 egg white (size AA or AAA)

8 egg yolk

1 chinese bowl self rising flour or cake flour (sifted)

3/4 chinese bowl castor sugar

4 tbps vegetable oil or safflower oil
1 freshly squeezed orange juice & orange zest
1 tbsp cream of tartar

1. Separate the eggs and place the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.

2.Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C and have ready a 10 inch (25 cm) two piece tube pan
(ungreased).
3.In the bowl, add the flour, sugar (minus 3 tablespoons), egg yolks, oil, orange juice, orange
zest, and oil until combined & smooth.
4.In a separate bowl, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 3
tablespoons of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

5. Use a rubber spatula gently fold the egg whites into the batter just until blended
6. Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan and bake for about 55 minutes

APPLE PIE

PASTRY:
350g white flour

2 tbsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

200g cold butter, broken into small pieces

5 tbsp. cold vegetable shortening ( I did't add but turn out fine)

6-8 tbsp. ice water

Measure the flour, sugar and salt togetherl. Stir to combine.
Add the chilled butter pieces and shortening to the bowl. Cut them in with a pastry cutter or knife. Don't over mix them.
Add the ice water. Mix until the dough holds together (add a bit more water, if necessary).
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead it together, then divide in half.
Flatten each half into a disk, wrap in saran wrap and chill for at least half an hour.
Roll out one of the disks on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle that's about 12 inches in diameter.
Put the circle in a 9" pie plate, trimming any extra dough from the edges with a sharp knife (parents only). Return it to the refrigerator until you are ready to make the pie.
Add filling (see below)
Roll out the second ball of dough and cover top. Use a fork or your fingers to pinch the edges together. cut a couple slits in the top.

FILLING
1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

8 medium sized apples (a medium apple = about 1 cup)

2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 200c.
Peel, core and slice the apples. Try to keep the size of the slices even.
Mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl.
Stir in apples.
Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
