Orange Chiffon

Orange Chiffon

Overview

Since I learned baking, I only make pizza and cakes regularly. You can make your own taste, control the sweetness, you can see the ingredients with confidence, and the time is relatively short. This is the main reason why I like tinkering with cakes. This adds the zest and juice of fresh oranges, giving the cake a special orange fragrance. My family likes the cake flavor I make, so this is my third time making orange flavored cake. But I'm in a hurry every time, so I thought I'd leave a process to share this time, but the camera ran out of battery in the middle of the process. Maybe novices feel that the process is not very detailed. In fact, the egg yolk paste is beaten with a manual egg beater, and the egg white is beaten with a chef's machine. The two are almost done at the same time.
