Lavender Chiffon Cake 薰衣草戚风蛋糕
This light chiffon cake has a unique taste of lavender and the sweet lavender fragrance lingered in my kitchen while baking. I just can’t stop enjoying myself with this sweet aroma. This is again a very simple chiffon cake recipe with dried lavender (flowers) that were boiled with milk. The cake turned out bouncy, and delicious, in fact I had baked it twice in week. It was baked in a 7 inch cake round removable pan and the baking time was about 55-60 minutes with medium size eggs. You may bake it in a 7 inch chiffon pan that with hollow tube and smaller size eggs can be used. The cake still stayed soft even after kept in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. You’ll definitely enjoy this delightful Lavender Chiffon Cake for an afternoon tea with your family at home.
