Chiffon Cake (8-inch black sesame flavor)

Chiffon cake (also called "crazy cake" 😂) is a must-practice basic skill for cake beginners! Lay a solid foundation, and you can easily make all kinds of cakes in the future~ The key to its softness is to beat the egg white into a fine foam, and rely on air to support the fluffy volume of the cake. Add enough corn oil and eggs, the taste is soft and moist, and the texture is fluffy. No wonder it is a classic with super high popularity! This time, I specially added black sesame powder, which is fragrant for ten miles, and the fragrance is directly confusing 😋~
