Chocolate Chiffon Cake

Yes, another chiffon cake.  Why is the top so wrinkled - is this normal?

I must say I have fell in love with chiffon cakes especially with so many flavours to try but I find it extremely stressful baking chiffon cakes - from whisking the egg whites to the right consistency, to folding in the meringe to the end result.

Until you unmould and see the cake standing tall then can I phew ...... heng ah turn out well!!  But then again, the tall and nicely unmould chiffon cake does bring a sense of satisfaction and joy ....
