Recommended Menu Item

This time, I tried the
Cheese Chiffon Cake.

Just the right amount of fresh cream paired with
an impossibly fluffy chiffon cake.

Sinfully delicious~~

The cheesy richness blends so beautifully with the sweetness of the cream that one bite is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

I never imagined cheese in a chiffon cake, but
it absolutely works.

It’s not heavy at all — I could honestly keep eating it forever.

It’s hard to tell from the photo, but
the cheese is actually kneaded right into the chiffon cake itself.

It adds such a wonderful accent to every bite.

I also tried the Ginger Cut Chiffon.

The aroma of fresh ginger spreads instantly,
and you’ll find yourself thinking,
“Ah! That’s ginger, alright!” — pure delight.

Cheese and ginger —
two of my favorite flavors packed into chiffon cakes.
I’m in heaven.
