Osmanthus Chiffon Cake

I like scent of osmanthus(桂花），and after some research, it's good for high blood pressure patient. So again, I modified my staple chiffon cake recipe and make it. Another successful work!

It has light tea colour and light osmanthus aroma. And what surprised me is that both my mom and hubby like it. Happy!
