Orange Chiffon

I have no idea how many decades that I have not bake chiffon. Looking at many baking buddies are busy with their chiffon baking that make my hand very itchy to have mine as well.  I really miss the light and flufiines of the chiffon  so this morning I quickily come out with this orange chiffon provided with the ingredients that are available in my kitchen. 

I am very satisfy with the result. It tasted very fragrant and the texture no doubt is soft and fluffy. I believe the orange zest play an important role in this recipe as well as the big amount of orange juice that had added in. 

It does not looks beaitiful but something very simple and refreshing cake. It was chilled before serve, what could I say, sometimes, simplicity is kind of satisfaction in life.
