Hi Anncoo,

This cake is very soft and fluffy. If you don't mind the strong taste and smell of egg then you must try it. My family love it very much. :)

Hi Anonymous,

You didn't fold in the flour and oil properly so it set to the bottom and cause the bottom to be hard. Do try again.

Hi Happy Flour,

Your recipe calls for 'cake flour'. I am from australia and I only see self raising flour or plain flour in the supermarket. Where do you get your cake flour from??

Thankyou in advance for your help.

Thuy,

I bought cake flour from bakery mart. Cake flour/low gluten flour give a softer texture to the chiffon cake. You can use plain flour instead.

This is just to say 'thankyou' for your advice.
