Yearning
I haven't been baking a chiffon cake for the longest time. Don't ask me why? Actually besides Pandan Chiffon, I love chiffon cakes. I like the light texture and it doesn't give you the "heavy" taste like a sponge or a pound cake so you can easily finished half a cake by yourself.
In fact, I wanted to buy a reputable recipe book by a Japanese lady but I really need to make sure this is what I wanted as I don't really know how to read Chinese recipes. The terms confused me. From what I understand, different country has their own way of naming the ingredients.
Anyway, just by luck, I found this particular book in the library and guess what, as usual, there are many torn pages!!!!! This is so darn irritating!!!!!! I guess you might have already read about my frustration some time back but I really need to voice it out again!!!
"Damn to whoever the selfish pig you are. If you really wanted it why can't you just photocopy it!!! ! it is only 3 cents!!!!!!". I just don’t get this as it is ALWAYS the Chinese recipes that gone missing…. arrrgh .... pissed!
Enough of my ranting, I think I lost touch with chiffon. Though the Chocolate Chiffon tasted good, I believe I didn't do it correctly. The whole cake dropped out of the tin when I wanted to turn it over to cool. Luckily, damaged done was really minimal.
I shared this with JY and CO and both like it but I am still not fully satisfied with it. Back to the drawing board and hopefully I will get it the next time.
In the meantime, expect more Chiffon cakes.

You probably need to bake it a little longer to dry it out. I had the similar experience of the cake dropping out but after baking it bit longer with slightly lower temp, they came out ok :-)
