[Recipe] Coconut & Almond Chiffon Cake 椰香杏仁戚风蛋糕

It was the weekend and all the time for baking. It was an impromptu bake though, as my original intention was to bake some breads on a Sunday, with Saturday preparing for the overnight sponge dough, but since there was available time, I churned out a Coconut Almond Chiffon Cake as well.

With coconut and almonds nibs forming the core of the cake, you can be pretty sure of the strong scented aroma that comes off with it.

Especially when the dessicated coconut has been pre-toasted to a light brown, it adds to the overall aromatic fragrance that fills the house during the baking process.

Chiffon cake is by nature soft and spongy and probably abit on the dry side. The almond nibs give the cake an extra slight crunch which makes the cake feels less drying.

I paired coconut and almonds when I was coming up with Chunky Cooky’s cookies ideas. And here I am utilizing them in a cake bake as well. Haha. In a way, I manage to kill 2 birds with one stone. ^-^

In the meantime, I am off to play with my new kitchen toys !! Happy baking and enjoy feasting on the cake or even viewing it can be a nice pleasure too and that probably explains for my huge collection of cookbooks which though I never get to make full use of them well, they serve as motivational factors to spur me to do it…. ONE FINE DAY ! Hehehe.
