My family loves chiffon cake for its light and moist texture. I used small amount of buttercup pumpkin to make a chiffon cake that produced a very attractive, natural orange color, plus all the health benefits of pumpkin.

    毛毛妈,做这个蛋糕能换成加酸奶吗?记得之前看过有酸奶蛋糕,不知道把南瓜换成酸奶能行吗?

    毛毛妈:你好!
    请教一个问题:我做戚风蛋糕取出来倒放20分钟后,照你说的方法用小刀将烤盘四周剥离后但每次底部还是很难顺利取出来,底部粘得很紧总是会搞得烂烂的不好看,这是什么原因呢?我看你的底部就很好看,我想是不是要放点油或是垫张油纸。请回复。谢谢!

    毛毛妈:谢谢你的回复,下次再作时就照你说的去做。今天的晚餐豆腐就是按你的怪味豆腐食谱作的,因是湖南人就特别多加了剁碎的青椒,味道棒极了。真的要谢谢你这位热心人写的食谱。再次谢谢。
