Two-tone Strawberry Chiffon Cake
I don’t have much skills when it comes to decorating a cake. Neither, am I interested to spend a lot of time either. This Two Tone Strawberry Chiffon Cake is simple to make yet looks elegant enough to serve when your friends come over for high tea.
If you want to make a chocolate version, swap out strawberry with cocoa powder. Just make sure to dissolve the cocoa powder with some warm water so that it can combine well with the cake batter.
Also, just to remind you to measure your egg white when you are baking, especially when it comes making chiffon/sponge cake. Egg white is what helps the cake to rise when it comes to chiffon cake. That’s why it is important to get the correct amount to ensure that the cake rose to the correct height.
