I have always wanted to bake a Gula Melaka chiffon cake for a long time but have been been procrastinating. Many great bakers had shared their recipes in different versions. Just recently, my good friend, Eileen shared her pretty gula melaka chiffon cake on her blog and that spurred me on to bake one too. I’ve no regrets baking this cake as it was tasty, soft and tender and I like the aroma of the gula melaka syrup which made the cake so fragrant. Thank you Eileen for sharing this recipe.
