After the 1st attempted of making Chiffon, I start love in baking Chiffon without any chemical substances, this was my 2nd attempted. I prefer to use fresh fruits for my Chiffon, so this time I use the fresh strawberry.- I added chopped fresh strawberry, but noticed "air hole" near the chopped strawberry, is anyone out there could help to explain this and how to overcome this?
