Chiffon

Cake dream come true

Sometimes, stuff I dream about comes true. I have been thinking about what the perfect cake of my dreams would be, and this Honey Yuja-Cha Chiffon Cake is pretty much it.

Heartland bakery Pine Garden's Cake has used the citron jam in a floaty, airy cake that is a perfect antidote to all the rich food at Chinese New Year.

At just 500g, the cake is good for four to six people although I daresay I could polish the whole thing off given enough time.

It comes topped with cream and a smear of the citron jam; nothing too heavy that will weigh the cake down.

A fresh citrusy flavour and the cake's light sweetness perk up the appetite immediately.

I could eat this cake all year round. It is too good for just the Chinese New Year season. So I call the shop and ask if I can order it after the festivities.

And guess what? It will be available year round.
