If your chiffon cake pan is not the same size as mine, I always recommend doubling the recipe (instead of trying to divide an egg by weight). Use the leftover batter to make a small cake in a regular ramekin or smaller cake pan (it won’t be a proper chiffon cake though).
To give your keto cake a festive vibe, you could add 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon plus some cardamom, nutmeg and a pinch of cloves. For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of chilli! Or grate the zest of 1 orange into the batter. MAKE IT NUTTY: Add nuts for a bit or crunch - walnuts or pecans would work well.
However, a chiffon cake recipe includes oil and egg yolks (fats) and baking powder to counteract and help the cake rise. Q: Can I use melted butter instead of vegetable oil? A: No, to get a light, airy, soft texture, it has to be vegetable oil or canola oil. Please don’t substitute it with butter.
