Another bake from the book of Keiko Ishida! So soft and fluffy it literally melts in your mouth and i also adapted Jessie of Hearty Bakes Hokkaido Chiffon as i never baked chiffon in paper cups before and i must say they turn out pretty well. The cream goes really well with the cake oh how i love green tea and the color green haha. Now lets enjoy the pictures of green!
