I checked my recipes and they all called for baking chiffon cakes at 325F
(160C) for 55 to 60 minutes. I would lower the oven temperature to start.
In addition, make sure the top of the cake is in the center of the oven, use
a shiny pan instead of a dark pan, and check your oven with an oven
thermometer. If that fails, post your recipe.
