Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 330 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar while continuing to whip to medium peaks. Since this is a high-altitude recipe, whip them only until they form a peak that falls over. Stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Use a rubber spatula to fold in flour a fourth at a time. Spoon into a clean and dry 9 inch tube pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue baking for another 3 minutes, or until the cake begins to shrink down a bit. Invert pan over a wire rack to cool. When cool, run a thin spatula or knife around the outer edge, and tap out firmly.

HIGH ALTITUDE CHIFFON CAKE WITH VARIATIONS
At higher altitudes, cakes are more sensitive to slight changes; therefore, it is important to carefully follow the directions given for each recipe. Be sure that measurements are exact and especially note the addition or subtraction of amounts by tablespoons from cups of flour or liquid. Always use measuring spoons or cups when definite amounts of ingredients are specified. When measuring flour and baking powder, do not pack them, but spoon lightly and level off. Always sift flour before measuring. Brown sugar and shortening should be packed into the cup or spoon to give accurate measurements. Shortening should be at room temperature for best results. This recipe is mainly for 5000 to 7500 feet in elevation. For higher elevations, make these adjustments: Plain Chiffon: Reduce baking powder to l tsp. Orange Chiffon: Reduce baking powder to 3/4 tsp. Lemon and Pineapple Chiffons: Same as 5,000 ft. From the University of New Mexico, Agriculture Department

HIGH-ALTITUDE BUTTERMILK DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE
This recipe was given to me by my great-aunt Julee over 40 years ago and I have had to convert it from SE Oklahoma Mountain area altitude to our altitude. We live in NM between 5000 feet and 7000 feet and I bake this 3-layer cake often for my family. If making a sheet cake, I use an 11 x 15 pan for this recipe.
