Marble Chiffon Cake

I wanted to bake a marble cake long time ago but never had the chance. This is because I was lazy to buy some cocoa powder. = P Now, I have cocoa powder in my pantry from my last baking - Chocolate Cake top with Easter egg.

However, I’ve decided to bake marble chiffon cake instead of marble cake. The reason is marble cake will be oilier and more compact compared to marble chiffon cake. For marble cake you gotta used up to 250g of butter but chiffon cake only needs 5g (for the chocolate paste). Besides, for chiffon cake you can eat half of the cake and wouldn’t feel the weight in you tummy as it is soft, light and fluffy! A good excuse for me to eat more!!! Hahahaha

Ok, here’s my Marble Chiffon Cake.
