Excellent, Excellent Cake!!!! My family loves this chocolate chiffon cake. Our family makes lots of chiffon cakes and this chocolate cake by far is a Winner! Always moist and great chocolate taste!
It's as good as it looks!!! I made this for a birthday, and it had rave reviews. Chocolatey, and had good body to it. I will make this again, but I'm going to try chocolate ganache in place of drizzle.
Hi cakes recipe looks tempting by I query anything replacing canola oil which cn find easy in localThanx maahi
Me and my family loved this cake. Instead of the orange glaze I used melted chocolate. Delicious!
I have made this cake many times since it was in the Taste of Home issue. Absolutely delicious and always gets wonderful compliments.
Easy to make and delicious.
i have searched for a good choc chiffon cake and every time I made one I couldn't get it dark enough, but this is what I wll make, as I wanted to make 2 chiffon cakes today,, thank you. from reading the ingredients, it sounds delicious. Thank you.
It was a great tasting moist cake. It did seep out the bottom of my two piece, tube pan slightly in the oven. I would use a bundt pan the next time. I was surprised how sponge like it really was and the icing was yummy!
good one
The best chiffon cake I ever made. A must. I made a birthday cake using a round, no hole, pan.It was all eaten in no time!
