A few weeks ago, I saw a beautiful blueberry chiffon cake on a baking group page on Facebook. I always have a habit of storing blueberries in my freezer, so I baked this chiffon cake on a lazy afternoon. To make this blueberry chiffon cake, simply puree the blueberries. I’m so happy that the cake turned out perfect, light and airy. As always, I like to add lemon zest to give a better refreshing flavour with every bite. You can also use strawberries if preferred.
