Lemon Chiffon Cake

I Love Chiffon Cake..
My mom has a special name for Chiffon Cake, she always called it as a Kue Jepang/Japanese Cake. She usually make Pandan Chiffon Cake which is always super soft, a very sweet treat for snack time or breakfast with a cup of tea.


For this month Daring Baking task,we have to bake a Chiffon Cake which we can choose the source of recipe.And to complete the task,I had to bake for 3 times, 1st for the Pandan Chiffon which the result is unsatisfying. And frankly, many times before the task, I did bake this chiffon but only get 1 time success happy result, and the rest... the cake sank down,:).
So I tried to browse to other recipe from internet, and found Lemon Chiffon Cake. Did try, and still not a success one, but with this recipe, I knew that I made a mistake while whisking the egg white.

And finally, the 3rd one, the one that I submitted to complete my KBB task.
THis Lemon Chiffon Cake I got from Martha Steward website, and the result no doubt.
Try this one.
