Rich Chocolate Chiffon Cake 巧克力心型威风蛋糕

Finally i also 败 ( shopaholic) one heart shape chiffon pan after seeing so many Chinese blogger's beautiful  heart shape chiffon pan. And this is a most expensive baking pan among all my baking pans, but i think every baker should have one, this is too cute and beautiful !! If you ask me whether i will sell this in my Kedai runcit (shop), don't think i can carry this expensive stock in my kedai, hehehe..

Also i would like to Thanks to a Hong Kong blogger who helped me to buy this pan and some other baking items, sorry for not telling her name here because i don't want to caught her in trouble later, hahaha..

this beautiful heart shape chiffon pan is made in Japan (by Cakeland) , that's why the price is high ...

I got this for about RM 1xx for a small 17cm size of pan.. Will you buy one baking pan with such high price?

record down my 1st baking experience with this new pan..

My 1st heart shape chiffon actually was not perfect..I am not sure why the cake drop off automatically from the cake pan before i can remove it from the pan, maybe i should bake it a bit longer next time..

Luckily the recipe i chosen, made this not perfect chiffon to a beautiful chiffon..

This chocolate chiffon cake is rich in chocolate, moist and spongy,,so good! This time i use chocolate powder instead of cocoa powder..And i guess this cake is perfect for Birthday too..
