2011-07-25T13:30:00.001+08:00

This round, i try out making Orange Chiffon Cake, what i not satisfied is that certain part on the top of the cake is burnt. Maybe during when the batter is inside the oven, i was busy sms that i did not check on the cake and cover the top with aluminum foil.

I satisfied this round as it's quite soft. Actually i wanted to make Pandan Chiffon Cake as i like Pandan flavour but i'm lazy to squeeze out coconut milk.
