Blueberry Cheese Chiffon

While waiting for hubby to come home from work, knowing I have one whole hour to spare, I decided to bake this. Chiffon is the easiest to bake and use up a lesser time compare to others.

The cake did not turn out well. The blueberries sunk to the bottom and my cake did not turn out looking as a normal chiffon. It have large air bubbles and also rise and crack like a huat kueh!

See where my blueberries ended up?!

Funny how come it did not turn out well as I followed exactly to the recipe. Oh yes, I did banged my chiffon tin on the counter to get rid of the air bubbles. Hmm...

Look at the texture.. *sigh*
