Qi Feng cake is a transliteration of the English Chiffon Cake. The word "Qi Feng, Chiffon" refers to an extremely thin and soft silk fabric, so Qi Feng cake, as its name suggests, has a dense and meticulous taste. It belongs to the sponge cake type, using vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder as the basic ingredients. Since vegetable oil is not as easy to foam as butter (which is used in traditional cakes), it is necessary to beat the egg white into a foam to provide enough air to support the volume of the cake. Qi Feng cake contains enough vegetable oil and eggs, so the texture is very moist and does not harden as easily as traditional butter cakes. Qi Feng cake also contains less saturated fat. However, due to the lack of the strong aroma of butter cakes, Qifeng cakes usually require strong juice, or add ingredients such as chocolate and fruit.
