How do I store chiffon cake?

How stiff should the egg whites be?
Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. They should hold their shape without drooping but still look smooth, not dry or curdled.
Why did my chiffon cake fall after baking?
Falling is often caused by underbaking, rough folding, or greasing the pan. Always bake fully, fold gently, and leave the pan ungreased.
Is chiffon cake healthier than butter cakes?
Chiffon cakes are lower in fat compared to traditional butter cakes because they use oil and whipped egg whites for lift, making them lighter and airier.
