Dear Florence,
Somehow we can't really read your blog because is all shadowed by the photo bucket. Sure miss reading your recent creativity.

Hi Florence,
I check your blog almost every day to see what your latest creations are but towards the end of each month, your images hosted on Photobucket have gone over their limit and makes everything impossible to read unless I paste your text into something else. Might I suggest using a simple color scheme/template that doesn't require remote hosting?

Hi Florence, may I know why some of your chiffon cakes don't use baking powder while some use? I would love to try out your chiffon cake without baking powder, contains less chemical, and therefore healthier. Thank you!

SL,
The sweetness is just good for me. Don't forget yogurt also has a certain level of sweetness in it. :)

Daphne,
That's a very good question!
Some recipes are inherited and I just follow the instructions and didn't query.
Maybe other readers can shed some light into this. :)

Hi Florence,

May I know if self rising flour be used instead of cake flour? Thanks in advance for your kind attention.

Love from Minmin

Minmin,
No, you cannot use self-raising flour as this flour has baking powder and soda added to it.
If you cannot find cake flour, measure out 90g plain flour, remove 1 tbsp of it and add in 1 tbsp of corn flour/cornstarch.

Hi

Can I substitute corn oil with cannola or olive oil for your chiffon cake recipe?

 
At 03 May, 2009 08:18, Blogger Florence said...

cheah,
Yes, you could substitute it with any flavorless oil.

Hi Florence
Baked the cake today, successful, but texture is a bit dense as compared with my other chiffon cake recipes, nevertheless very glad to stumble upon your recipe. Back here in Ipoh, Malaysia, 'cake flour' is known as 'superfine flour'. Used cannola blended oil instead of corn oil. Thanks once again.

Hi Florence,

I do not know where to buy the yogurt. Is this a type of yogurt can immediate eat and cold? If it is wrong, can you provide the information of the brand name or photo of the yogurt. Thanks you very much.

 
At 23 June, 2009 18:32, Blogger Florence said...

Hi,
Yes, you are right about the yogurt - those that can be eaten straight away from the tub.

Hi Florence
Used this recipe to bake Blueberry Yoghurt Chiffon cake yesterday. As the name suggests, I subsituted plain yoghurt with Blueberry yoghurt and Cranberries with Glaced Blueberries. Need to use some flour to coat the Blueberries because of the syrup, and fortunately they didn't sink to the bottom, and the result was good. Thanks.
