Yuzu 유자 Chiffon Cake

Hi

I had almost forgotten the bottle of Yuzu Citron Tea in the fridge.  Since I was working from home on Wednesday and my mum was at my place, I decided to make a chiffon cake.  I tell you the cake is so fragrant that my mum and I fell in love with it. 
 

It has been a long time I have afternoon tea at home with my Mum.  No extravagant high tea buffet but Mum and I had a great time.  We had a nice tea from The Clipper Tea Co. to go along with the chiffon cake.  Mum and I almost finished the whole cake by ourselves as we chat and eat.
Thanks for this box of wonderful tea bags from Serene whom I knew her since we were 14 years.  And also, I'm very thankful to my boss for allowing me to work from home when he was overseas.  Thanks Boss!

Happiness is having a wonderful friend and a good boss at work.
The original recipe is for 5 eggs on 20cm pan.  I did a conversion on the recipe as I’m using 18cm pan.
HAPPY BAKING!
