Maple syrup chiffon cake
Overview
Maple sugar is the most unique product of Canada, the land of maple leaves. It is made by drilling holes in tall sugar maple trees to extract the juice. It is said that there is a famous maple avenue in Canada - starting from Quebec City in the east, westward along the St. Lawrence River to Niagara Falls, the 800-kilometer-long area is dotted with tens of thousands of sugar factories, large and small, with an annual output of 32,000 tons of maple sugar, accounting for more than 80% of the world's total output. Maple sugar is rich in minerals and organic acids, and has lower calories than sucrose, fructose, corn sugar, etc. However, it contains much higher calcium, magnesium and organic acids than other sugars, which can supplement a weak body with unbalanced nutrition. Maple sugar is less sweet than honey, with a sugar content of about 66% (honey has a sugar content of about 79%-81%, and sugar is as high as 99.4%). It is said that no Canadian breakfast meal is complete without maple syrup. It tastes sweet, has low calories, and is nutritious. It seems that using maple syrup instead of sugar and honey is definitely a good choice. Use maple syrup to make a chiffon cake, which is nutritious and sweet. Pair it with a pot of tea and slowly taste the flavor of autumn! Even my little ones couldn’t help but taste the green tea. Don’t miss it if you are a cake lover——
