Chocolate Chiffon Cake 巧克力戚风蛋糕
Baking this chocolate chiffon cake was a last minute decision last Sunday morning and I had to make it in time for the birthday boy’s celebration in the afternoon. So the quickest way is to bake a chocolate chiffon cake and to frost it with ganache cream. This cake is chocolatey and fragrant. It is actually a chocolate chiffon cake with ganache cream and I had shared the recipe before, about 3 years ago. I am sharing the recipe again at the request of my friend, but this time with a slight adjustment on the ganache cream. So, here’s the recipe for you, Elisa and to all my readers.

Hi Ann, I would like to make this cake, may I know if 17cm cake pan is the same as 6″ ? And btw, may I know where can I get the chocolate decoration at the side of the cake? Thank you so much
Hi Phoebil, 17cm is about 6.6 inches. The chocolate deco is available at Sunlik. Is actually in square shape. I used a hot knife to cut the deco in triangle.
