we went to visit our cousins and their newborn bb little sebastian at their home last saturday. i thought it'd be nice to bake a cake so that we could have a nice arvo tea and of course to play with bb seb as well!! and because sis didnt get to eat the fresh orange chiffon cake that i baked last time, i've decided to bake another one (hehe, and so that i can use up the rest of the coconut milk as well!! :) )

this time i made a variation to the cake. instead of orange, i attempted to make an english breakfast tea flavoured cake. and because i wanted to coat the whole cake with chantilly cream, i only cut it up into 2 layers:



the finished cake, coated with chantilly cream and topped with crunchy almond and honey:


-Tea chiffon cake with almond crunch + honey-

hm.... looking v homemade indeed =.= my failed attempt to coat an even smooth layer of cream. maybe its time to invest in a palette knife?!

this one sliced up:



the flavours worked quite well together, although it needed a bit more of the tea flavour. the honey and almond on top was a little surprise!
