1๏ธโƒฃ Prepare the Pan

Preheat the oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC).

Use an 8-inch chiffon or tube pan.

Leave the pan ungreased so the batter can properly rise.

2๏ธโƒฃ Make the Egg Yolk Batter

Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy.

Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.

Sift in the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gently mix until the batter is silky and free of lumps.

3๏ธโƒฃ Prepare the Meringue

Beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until foamy.

Add the lemon juice or cream of tartar.

Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat.

Beat until glossy medium-stiff peaks form.

4๏ธโƒฃ Fold the Batter

Fold one-third of the meringue into the egg yolk batter.

Add the remaining meringue in two batches, folding gently with a spatula.

Mix only until fully combined to keep the batter light and airy.

5๏ธโƒฃ Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared chiffon pan.

Tap the pan lightly to release large air bubbles.

Bake for 45โ€“55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

6๏ธโƒฃ Cool & Serve

Immediately invert the pan after removing it from the oven.

Let the cake cool completely for 1โ€“2 hours.

Carefully loosen the edges with a thin knife and remove the cake from the pan.

โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”

Step 1 โ€“ Prepare the Choux Pastry

In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat until the butter has completely melted.

Remove from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Return the pan to low heat for 1โ€“2 minutes, stirring continuously to dry the dough slightly.

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough becomes smooth, glossy, and pipeable.

โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”

Step 2 โ€“ Shape & Bake

Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch (23cm) circle as a guide.

Pipe one ring of choux pastry along the circle, a second ring just inside it, then a third ring on top.

Sprinkle generously with toasted sliced almonds.

Bake for 25โ€“30 minutes, until puffed and golden.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and continue baking for 10โ€“15 minutes to dry the pastry.

Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and leave the pastry inside for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.

Slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, then return everything to the saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy.

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

When the pastry cream is warm but no longer hot, whisk in the praline paste until fully incorporated.

Allow the mixture to cool completely, then beat in the softened butter until light, silky, and smooth.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
