MARIAN'S DAFFODIL CAKE (CHIFFON) 
12 egg yolks (left over from angel food cake)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. sifted cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon flavor

Beat egg yolks until very thick and lemon colored. Add sugar in small amounts and keep beating. Add boiling water and beat 30 seconds, add sifted dry ingredients gradually, then add flavorings, beat all well (about 5 minutes).

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour in an ungreased 10" or 12" angel food pan. Cool upside down before removing. This is a great party cake, as you can serve it plain or with whipped cream, berries, or whatever.

DO NOT bake this cake for an hour! It's way too long. I had mine in for 55 minutes, and it was over done to the point of inedibility. Such a shame because the reviews seems fairly positive. If I were to make this again I would keep a close eye on it at the 35-40 minute mark.

Cake rose to top of 10" pan and was very fluffy, moist and tasty with a tang of lemon. I had trouble getting it out of my Wear-Ever aluminum pan after it cooled. Chunks of it stuck to the bottom of the pan. Next time I may line bottom of pan with parchment paper. I baked it for 1 hour. I may also make lemon glaze to top cake....or lemon curd!

Lovely cake next time will use as a sponge for a fruit base. Will try a cream cheese topping for this one.

Excellent recipe - works perfectly and tastes divine. Was wondering how much cocoa I could add or what changes would need to be made in order to get a chocolate version. Anyone tried this?

Very disappointing. I followed the directions down to baking it for one hour, and before my timer went off I had to take it out of the oven because it was burnt. I never used a dozen egg yolks before so I figured it had to cook for an hour. You should've put in your recipe baked till done.
