Preparation

About

I made this very light and fluffy Tofu Chiffon Cake last Friday and it was absolutely delicious! Instead of using the traditional chiffon tube pan, I switched to use cupcake liners and surprisingly, it came out great!! Look how pretty this mini chiffon cake with sprinkled of black sesame on it.  I definitely think this healthy recipe is a keeper.

Baking chiffon in cupcake liner also easier to eat and no cut mess.
