Chocolate Chiffon Cake

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

I am stranded in my own world. Not by choice though. Had not been blogwalking and had not been visiting my own blog! Thanks to the not -so-good internet connection in my room. Hubby had moved the Unifi box to the hall upstairs. It used to be in my computer room before but he moved it there so that my mom's room will have better signal for the Unifi TV.

Besides that, I am not in my best state of health. My blood pressure reading is quite high, especially the Systolic reading. I am starting to worry now. If you have any traditional remedy that I can try, I will be so grateful if you could share it with me. Thank you...

For this entry, I will share with you this Chiffon Cake. A recipe passed down to me by my aunt via her son, Yed. Thank you Yed for the recipe. And since this is quite an antique recipe, it had used this Softasilk Flour. I was pretty excited when I managed to get a box at Jaya Grocer, The Empire Subang Jaya but for a price to pay. As long as I managed to get one box, I am a one happy lady :)
