Strawberry Chiffon Cake (Slit Top Cooked Dough Method) 草莓戚风蛋糕/烫面雪纺蛋糕

Unlike traditional chiffon cake that we used to bake in tube pans, this chiffon cake is baked in a normal round pan with slit top to have a nice controlled cracked top. I kind of like this idea, need not worried about volcano-like cracked top that anyway I'm going to make it crack the way I like ;) 

This recipe yield light, fluffy and spongy chiffon cake made using fresh strawberries. The natural colour of the strawberries is quite pale, if you like the colour to be more vibrant and pink, add a drop of pink food colouring in the batter. If you like stronger strawberry flavour, add some strawberry paste.

Turn ordinary cake into cute snoopy cake using Hot Stamp Tool to imprint the picture.
