I made a cherry blossom chiffon cake with delicate cherry blossoms. When I add cherry blossom syrup to the cake, the cake has a subtle cherry blossom scent, and the top is cherry blossom so I think it’s a really good spring cake. I put a strawberry in the middle for extra freshness and taste. When baking chiffon cakes, I add a little red yeast rice flour to create color without adding color, but if you want a little darker, you can double. The cake is very soft and spongy so when eating it feels very lovely
