7. Then add in the remaining 2/3 of the sugar. Whipped until stiff peak (see photo).
8. Add 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Mix them in.
9. Then, fold in the remaining 2/3 of the egg white mixture.
10. Pour the mixture into the chiffon cake pan and tap them a few times on the kitchen countertop to release air bubbles.
