chiffon cake

Jan.25, 2005

My friend kotori-san ( check out her blog "おいしい毎日とわんこ") had given me a recipe for chiffon cake the other day. I wanted to try as soon as I got it but I didn't. I had already had other plans to come up, which were to bake cakes with friends.
It has been almost 2 weeks and at last I made the chiffon cake referring the recipe!

Whoa, whoa. It's flat!!
Chiffon cake should be as high as, what, 15 cm? This is only 3 cm tall.
But wait, for your information, it doesn't mean I screwed it up. It went pretty well, actually. However, I used 10" diameter angel food cake pan instead of 15 cm that the pan was supposed to be, according to the recipe. I used the 10" (23 cm) anyway because it is the only angel food cake pan I have.
I will increase the ingredients next time.

The disadvantage of having an interest in baking is, by the way, that you always have to eat up what you make. I hate to waste any food. You too, right? You are not necessarily able to do a bake whenever you want. Eat it before make another!
