Coffee Marble Chiffon Cake ~ 咖啡大理石戚风蛋糕


Chiffon cakes remain a top pick in my family because of its soft and light texture.  Moreover these cakes are not overly sweet and the plus point is that one can have many helpings and need not worry over adding extra inches to the waistline!

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕
