Black Sesame Chiffon Cake

I have been wanting to try to bake a black sesame chiffon cake for quite sometime. But it just did not happen, until recently, I bought a packet of black sesame powder from Shop & Save.

In my previous few posts, I had tried making the black sesame panna cotta, which was yummy as well...

BLACK SESAME CHIFFON CAKE

I had seen a few food bloggers whom had already made these black sesame chiffon. The recent one was from Small Small Baker. So I decided to try out her recipe.

These black sesame chiffons look great isn't it? i was very pleased with the outcome:))
I simply love the texture of these chiffon!! They are really fantastic...!!! It has the spongey feel, and of course, with the black sesame flavor, it was simply heaven!!!
Hubby and some of my friends preferred more of the black sesame taste, as they said the black sesame is abit mild. But as SSB had mentioned, using the black sesame paste will make the chiffon more fragrant. Next time perhaps:))
