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:为什么我今天学做这款蛋糕最后做出来很小,很扁的,完全没有你这种蓬松的感觉,而且有点焦。是不是我的蛋白没有打好?所以发不起来。谢谢指导!

    毛毛妈,我想问送烤箱的时候应该放在烤箱哪一层?我这次做是放在最下面一层的,烤了35分钟,熟是熟了,但是没有发起来的感觉,很扁,不太蓬松。是不是放在哪一层有讲究?

    請問毛毛媽, 為什麼南瓜蓉要加水呢, 不加太乾? 還是有水方便微波爐叮熟? 如果用蒸的是不需要加水?
