Receta Sakura Yogurt Chiffon Cake 樱花酸奶戚风蛋糕
As the Sakura Cherry Blossom is still in season, I bought a set of Sakura cherry blossom products online (here) two weeks ago. I ordered these as I wanted to make something special for Mother's Day which is just around the corner. I made this soft, light and springy chiffon cake with rice flour and yogurt. Added in some sakura honey syrup and sakura leaf powder into the batter and my kitchen was filled with some mildly fragrant and sweet floral sakura when the cake was being baked in the oven. Definitely a special treat for your Mom to enjoy for her afternoon tea.
Happy Mother's Day to all wonderful Mums out there!

Fold 1/3 of egg whites into the yolk mixture. Then pour in the rest of the egg whites and fold gently until combined with a rubber spatula.
Pour batter into the prepared tube pan. Gently bang the pan on the table top to release air bubbles.
