【Shanghai】Red Date Brown Sugar Chiffon Cake
Overview
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I wonder where everyone went to play? I didn't go out, so I baked a chiffon cake with red dates and brown sugar on a whim. It tasted really good. The rich aroma of red dates filled the whole room when baking. Unfortunately, because of my laziness, I poured all the batter into one mold and it was almost full, resulting in the chiffon flying saucer top. Don't learn from me, woo woo~~
