chocolate chiffon with fluffy vanilla frosting
(1 rating)
An OLD recipe from a church book I have worn out! I used to make this Chiffon Cake for a neighbor of mine who loved chocolate cakes. It takes a little more effort and time than other cakes, but it is well worth it. It makes a beautiful cake that tastes even better! I frosted this cake with a Fluffy Vanilla Frosting, because that is they way Jim wanted it! You can glaze this or use any frosting that you like. This Fluffy Vanilla is not a sweet frosting and is refreshing for the summer. Note: The frosting recipe is from Jim's ex wife!
