Passion Fruit Yuzu Sponge Cake

Saw this post Yuzu Chiffon Cake on My Mind Patch. It prompted me to try it out, as the bright yellow colour of the cake gives me a happy feeling.

I did a trial using the exact recipe, felt that i could reduce further the amount of sugar. Also I decided to double the recipe to feed the hungry kids...

Done!

I like that the cake is not too sweet and it's definitely not oily. I suppose it would go well with some jam or icing as topping...

These are the photos taken from the previous cake I baked last week, it looked 'burnt' on the side because I experimented baking using the rice cooker instead of the oven:)
