Matcha Chiffon Cake

I've began to realize that I'm probably the only one among my friends and family who indulge in sweets. As long as it's not the rot-your-teeth kind of sweetness, I can handle most desserts pretty well.

Anyways as by strong request from the family, here comes another cake for those not interested in super sweet desserts. Compared to the traditional Japanese Cheesecake, the chiffon is slightly spongier( quite fun to press into the cake and see them bounce again), less heavy on the cream part and generally a healthier option. 

Fluffy Japanese Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Crust

I first encountered the quest to make this cake for my mom's birthday last year.

Moms, they say, don't really like super-sweet stuff (unless you're that super lucky child with a mom who's got a sweet tooth)

Therefore I had to look for substitutions. Japanese cheesecakes, with their fluffy texture and light flavor, are the idea presentation of such stuff!

When I first gave them out to my friends to try, they definitely had the "it's to die for face". 

Even now they're still asking for more.

Enough details, here I'll share the "secret" recipe.
