Chocolate Chiffon Cake

Finally, my chiffon cake was successful. There was no pix taken cos I was in a hurry to rush for my afternoon duty......Thus, I jux packed and go....

The chocolate chiffon cake was modified based on Florence's recipe (http://wlteef.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_wlteef_archive.html ) . My cake was able to raise and the texture is no longer like a piece of rock
