Orange Chiffon Cake

We were so blessed to received a large bag of fresh oranges! Eating the orange on its own, or turning it into a fruit salad might be a little bored for us. Therefore, I used the freshly squeezed orange juice and baked a chiffon cake for our breakfast and tea time.

This recipe was adapted from my dear friend's blog (Bake with Paws) with a little tweak to the original version. I hope you will like this recipe and give it a try. If you have questions, please comment below or slip a DM into my Instagram page!
