Bak Kwa Chiffon Cake 肉干戚风蛋糕
Although Chinese New Year is just over for a month, I still have many leftover goodies at home. Bak kwa is one of them that I wanted to finish off quickly (also shared meat floss biscuits in my previous post). So I just blended the bak kwa into bits and mix into the batter. The soft light chiffon cake tasted good with the bak kwa bits and it was superb served with a cup of hot coffee or tea. You can also spread some mayonnaise and a sprinkling of bak kwa bits as topping for an extra bite.
soft, light and tender ~ yummy!

Hi can I check with you the quantity of the ingredients if I am baking in a 6 inch pan? Tks 😊
Hi Doreen, you can use the same recipe with smaller eggs (about 60g egg with shell)
