thequeen,

The secret for chiffon cake lies in the "egg white"

Beat egg white + tartar until "soft peaks" mean when the egg whites turn bubbles

Beat until stiff means when u invert your beating bowl, the egg white should not fall.
Or when u lift ur mixer up, u should be able to see the egg white hold a shape
