Chocolate Chip Chiffon Cake

By lorionkame

Chiffon cake has a texture similar to that of sponge cake. Although baking powder aids the leavening, for the tallest cake, gently fold the grated chocolate into the cake batter and distribute it evenly. This cake takes patience to make, but the end result is gratifying!
