Another first. If this was BwJ/TWD SCOUTS I would be adding another badge to my sash. This is the first Chiffon Cake I have made. I didn’t know how easy it was.
Thanks to Mary Bergin who contributed this lovely cake to Baking with Julia.
I made 1/2 of the recipe in a 5″ springform. It rose beautifully and then immediately collapsed when I took it out of the oven. But once I turned it over, you couldn’t tell.
The streusel running through it was a perfect touch. A little extra crunch.
The only thing I can say is, “GOOD CAKE!”.
You cand find the recipe on Marlise’s blog The Double Trouble Kitchen and Susan’s blog The Little French Bakery. It is also on pages 241 – 243 in Baking With Julia.
And please visit the other Baking with Julia members for their deliciousness.

This was a fun cake–first chiffon cake for me to. We loved it. Good job.
My cake fell a bit–but it didn’t seem to matter.

This was the first chiffon cake for us, too (well, except for my Mother, who didn’t do any hands on for this one). We loved it and I want to experiment with them a little more now. I love your little cake – it’s so pretty!

I agree! It was a good cake!
I like the height in your cake, looks great!

I don’t think I’d ever made chiffon cake, either. We enjoyed it, but now I need to find time to post it. =)

Looks great…I still need to make it. I buttered the pan and put it in the frig a couple days ago…hmmm…maybe tomorrow? Yours looks pretty and delicious.

First chiffon cake here as well. Yours turned out beautiful! I love how fluffy the cake looks in its close-up!

Ha! I think we’d all have a few new badges on our sash. It looks like you earned yours…
