Zebra Chiffon Cake 斑马戚风蛋糕

This light and fluffy zebra chiffon is cake delicious. The cake is incredibly airy like eating a ‘cloud’. I used purple sweet potato powder that I bought from IROHA Mart (@Plaza Singapura) to make the zebra stripes.  The colour is not so vibrant and looks smoky and less impressive. So I suggest that you use cocoa powder or matcha powder for a better contrast. Anyway, there’s nothing that can beat a piece of this zebra chiffon cake with a cup of coffee or tea.
