Thank you for sharing this, Mariquit!
MOMMY CONSUELO'S CHIFFON CAKE
As a tribute to my late mother, Consuelo E. Soriano who passed away nine days after she turned a hundred years old, I am sharing this heirloom recipe. Only few members in the family have it, including my daughter Monica who, in her nicely appointed kitchen can obediently follow the recipe she was given via Messenger in sketchy notes.
In sharing this recipe, I remember my mother many years ago and how she perfected the recipe in her small kitchen. We were six children watching excitedly the outcome of her attempts. After a few tries, and like a wild fire, my mother’s chiffon cake became the talk of the town. ~Mariquit E. Soriano, STC Manila HS ‘68
