Cinnamon Nut Chiffon Cake

I have to apologize for my absent as I am still trying hard to adapt myself to my new working environment. Well I guess its actually not easy for me to get used to my new working environment just yet .  LOL.... Never mind , lets get back to my chiffon cake. To be very honest , this is actually my first time baking a chiffon cake. I have never own any angel cake pan before. As such I have to actually wait for my lazy ass to move so that I can buy myself a nice angel cake pan . And finally ........ tada.......

I finally get to bake this delicious chiffon cake. Well , as usual, I finish baking this at 11.30 pm last night . By the time I woke up this morning , only 2 slices left for myself. Heehee.... good good. At least everyone seems to enjoy their breakfast . How was your father's day celebration ? I didn't manage to get snap any photos of the meals that I have prepared as everyone seems to be hungry staring and waiting .. LOL..

I simply love the soft and spongy texture of chiffon cake. Reminds me so much of my childhood , when my mom will actually take the effort to bake pandan chiffon cake for us to bring to school . Yeah , each bite of this chiffon cake brings back my childhood memories . Sweet yeah ..... yaya I know ...
