Cream Cheese Chiffon Cakedrizzled with home made strawberry sauce
This recipe was given to me by one of my sisters for me to test. She got the recipe from a friend of her friend, and that friend got it from a friend of a sister's friend....wow! that's how recipes get to go around these days. In a way that's what's cooking is all about, sharing recipes!
Anyway this recipe has been on my "recipes to try" list. I'm glad I finally got to try making it the other day, I only wish though that I had not procrastinated because I love it. I know you'll love it too!! This is more flavorful and denser than a regular chiffon cake.
This is a very simple cake and easy to make, it is in fact very similar to chiffon cake. You'll see what I mean. Compare with Chiffon Cake recipe #210, click here. Without further ado, here's the recipe.....
