For a chiffon cake with ...
Lime
Use the grated zest of two limes instead of the lemons.
Orange
Use the zest of an orange and replace the water with orange juice.
Nut
Substitute the vegetable oil with hazelnut or walnut oil. In this case, remove the lemon zest in the recipe and for a nuttier taste, add 125 ml (1/2 cup) toasted and chopped walnuts just before adding the meringue.
