Lavender Chiffon Cake

by - Sunday, March 28, 2010

A slightly more presentable chiffon cake this week! I just realized that I had my oven on grill when I baked my Earl Grey tea last week. No wonder the top was burnt lo!

Now that all the settings were right, I had a more spongey chiffon cake with a tinch of Lavender taste! Thanks to Aeriel for sharing her Lavender flowers with me!
