Last December I went to New York with my mom and some friends.  While we were there we took the opportunity to go to Red ribbons A Filipino famous bakery goods.  I bought Mango cake I know my family loves.  This gives me an idea to bake it myself to save money.  Lucky me i did find a simple recipe.  I baked it once and it was very tastey.  even it calls for cake flour.  because i don't want to spend so much money I
made my own cake flour.  And it works.  The mango chiffon cake came out good and my family approved it. The only thing I did not do was the frost.  You can do how you want your cake.  But to me without the frost the cake still good.



Here are the ingredients and directions.

Ingredients:

• cake flour - 2 cups, sifted
• granulated sugar - 3/4 cup
• baking powder - 1 Tablespoon
• egg whites - 7

2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cold butter
3/4 cup (6 ounces) lukewarm water

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work in the cold butter, using a pastry blender, your fingers, or a mixer. Stir in the warm water to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into eight pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a thin 5" round.

Heat ¼" vegetable oil to 375°F in an electric frying pan, or in a pan over a burner. If you’re not using an electric frying pan, you’ll have to guesstimate the temperature of the oil in your stovetop pan.

Pick up one dough disk, and carefully lower it into the pan. Let it cook for 45 to 60 seconds (it’ll puff up on top and become brown on the bottom), then flip it over and cook till brown on the other side, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Place in a 200"F oven to keep warm while you make the remaining fried doughs.

Serve warm, with maple syrup or cider syrup; confectioners’ sugar, or cinnamon cugar; or the topping of your choice.
Yield: 8 fried doughs.
