Strawberry Chiffon Cake

Well, it's Childrens' day this Friday. Childrens' day used to be on 1 Oct of every year. But now they had changed to the 1st Friday of October. And Nic will have her dance rehearsal on Thursday instead of Friday. This time her rehearsal will be 3 hours in the community centre...

I'm not sure if I will need to bake a cake for her to bring for the rehearsal... but anyway I had decided to make a Strawberry Chiffon Cake.

Strawberry Chiffon Cake

I have more than enough batter, so I had actually bake 2 cake in 2 different tin.

This is the 1st chiffon I bake, about 7" tin.... This will be the bottom part of the cake, and the follwing picture, the top part.

The cake is very dense & moist, and of course, the fresh strawberries used, and perhaps the strawberry paste, makes the chiffon cake, smells so gooood!!! Very fruity & strawberry-ty:))

This is the 2nd tin, the balance batter I had left. But as the tin is slightly bigger than the 1st one, the balance batter wasn't enough to make the chiffon raise...

So, I was only able to get this from the balance batter.. :-p

And not forgetting Mimi, must try the cake and sh had 2 slices of them:))

So did Nic, she said it was delicious...

Well, I guess it must be the strawberries that makes wonder....

This recipe is adapted from Peng's Kitchen:))
