Mini Green Tea Marble Chiffon Cake ~ 迷你绿茶戚风蛋糕


These mini flower chiffon cake moulds were a present from a good friend of mine.  They do look very cute and for the two cakes, I only used a 3 egg recipe.  But since I'm used to baking my chiffon cakes in a 23 cm mould, I must admit that I had some difficulty scooping the mixture into these mini pans.  This cake is soft and moist and being mini, they vanished in a relatively short time wihtout any leftovers!

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
