After my successful attempt on the Orange Chiffon Cake, my confidence level has increased. Today, I try another of Florence's Chocolate Chiffon Cake. According to her, she uses this as the base cake for her Black Forest Cake. For me, I have yet to promote to that level. So I am pretty contended with just a plain old basic cake. Another bravo.
