I baked this Chocolate chiffon cake last night after my failed Pad Thai :(
This is for our breakfast today and I would say, THIS IS REAL GOOD!

The recipe is adapted from <戚風+海綿 輕蛋糕77種>, one of the recipe books I bought from Taiwan during my stay there. I really love this book because they have many steps by steps pictures which makes it very clear for the baker to know the exact baking procedures.

I was just wondering if anyone uses a Chiffon cake as a cake base? This cake really captures the heart of me and my Prince Charming and my Prince charming asked if I could use this as a cake base for any birthday cakes that I will be baking for my family. LOL.
