I reshaped an eventually resize the cake as I tried to remove it from the pan before it is completely cool (and I believe the forgetting of the parchment/foil paper also contributes to its ugly holed sides while trying to force it out of the baking tray.)
Apart from the physical appearance, the rest were just fine. Fully risen, taste is good.

Reshaped and resized with a layer of dark chocolate.
After some simple decorationsI modified the Pandan Chiffon Cake recipe from Little Corner of Mine. Original recipe can be found here. Below is the modified version.
Ingredients:
(A)
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
(B)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 drops of banana essence
(C)
6 egg whites
1tsp. vinegar
(D)
3/4 cup sugar
Method:
1. Combine (A) in a bowl, mix them well.
2. Add (B). Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, beat (C) until a moist peak is formed. Gradually add (D), beating until stiff and shiny peaks are formed.
4. Fold in 1/2 of the egg whites into the egg yolks mixture, fold to mix and then add the rest of the egg whites. Fold gently but thoroughly.
5. Pour the batter into baking tray.
6. Bake in preheated oven of 180°C, for about 60 mins or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Invert cake and cool it completely in the pan. When cool, loosen the edges and shake pan to remove cake.
P/S : Make sure you cool it completely before you remove it from the pan and I think it's better if you lay a piece of parchment paper before baking :)
Otherwise you would have to resize & reshape the cake like I do hahahaha
The inner texture of the chiffon cakeBy using the same modified recipe, instead of 3/4C coconut milk, I squeezed in 3/4C of fresh orange juice. Hence I baked an orange chiffon cake for Brandon's birthday party(20th Feb 2010). Here is the end result :D
Topped with dark chocolate glaze, oranges and of course the green kiwi.
Almond flakes at the side.

Lovely cakes....I haven't tried baking chiffon cakes in the normal cake pans before. Usually baked it in the tubed chiffon pan. Lovely reunion dinner you have with your friends too. Such a wide spread of good food. I am impressed!
Thankz Jeannie. I took the risk to bake in a normal cake pan, and it turn out well. Maybe you can try it, as it is easier to decorate without the hole at the centre :)
