Yogurt Chiffon Cake

Pin It Now!

This is my first time of using yogurt in my chiffon cake baking. I read this recipe from Happy Home Baking and very attracted by her lovely Cranberry Yoghurt Chiffon Cake. Since I have yogurt sitting in my fridge, it is the good time to bake with it. I omit the cranberry as my family prefer chiffon cake without any filling. I added some vanilla extract instead. I like the outcome of this recipe. I definitely will bake again.
