Purple Sweet Potatoes Chiffon Cake




This chiffon cake is slightly different with others that I had baked. The ingredients more or less same but the sequence added are different. I’m glad the chiffon cake still turns out soft and fluffy.


I omit the lemon juice as I want to retain the purple colour in my chiffon cake. I omit the chunks of potatoes too as my family prefer plain chiffon cake. Do visit Happy Home Baking blog for smaller portion chiffon cake (17 cm tube pan) recipe.
