Eat my words...

Yes, I know I told everyone that when you bake a cake, try not to add less sugar. If you need to go on a diet, either don't eat any sweet pastries or eat less. And one should never reduce sugar in a cake recipe. Looks like I have to eat my own words now!

I tested another chiffon cake with goji berries. I soaked the dried fruit in a cup of warmed milk. Then had it briefly chopped in a food processor. And even added less sugar. The cake was still a tad too sweet.

Otherwise, flavour-wise, its delicious. It really smells very nice and after baking, the cake turn orangey brown. The texture was extremely soft and light. And I was just over eager with it and try to cut it before its completely cooled..leaving my cake to collapsed under the pressure of the bread knife.




Here's my tried and tested recipe and may I suggest that you add less sugar too. :)

80g plain flour
100g goji berries
