Lemon Chiffon Cake~

The last time i baked a sponge cake, i made a huge mistake by overmixing the egg white with the batter which resulted with a dense cake. i was hoping to correct that mistake today, hence, i baked a lemon chiffon cake this evening.
And how was the outcome? Well, although the cake did rise and had a soft fluffy texture, the cake shrunk alittle as it was left cool (shown by the black arrow). i deduced it was either because i overbaked the cake or that i didn't invert the cake tin onto a wire rack to cool immediately after removing it from the oven... *sigh* hmmm... seems like i'll have to work on perfecting the chiffon/sponge cake before i venture into my next fancy cake adventure.

Although the cake was alittle overbaked, you can see it from the dark brown appearance on the surface, the cake was not dry but rather moist and soft on the inside.
i was surfing for baking tips online and i found this! It's a helpful website with answers to many
common baking problems.
