Orange chocolate chiffon cake ~ 鮮橙巧克力戚风蛋糕

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
This soft and moist chiffon cake has a combination of orange and chocolate flavour and the texture is light and cottony. To give it a facelift, I dusted it with chocolate powder over a template. Fresh orange juice and zest do pair very well with the chocolate and they complement each other. Great to pair with a cup of perfectly brewed tea!
