Like other chiffon cakes I’ve made so far, I liked this cake for its lightness and gentle sweetness. Yogurt is one reason that I was interested in baking this cake as I love the flavor of yogurt in my cake. Another reason is cranberries. I admired the bright red color of fresh cranberries, though I only could look at them in the pictures taken by others. Sometimes when browsing other love-to-cook and love-to-eat people, seeing how they used fresh cranberries in cooking and decorating their cakes, how much I wish I could actually touch somes of those little reds. Anyway, when the time comes, when I have an opportunity to travel more, farmer markets will always be listed in my priorities list of places to visit.
