Baileys Irish Cream Chiffon Cake

I am back (okay... was back since like 2 weeks back :P)! The much needed and looked-forward-to vacation in Japan has been done and I am once again back to this hot and humid country. Aren't I glad to not have to add the word hazy too. Hurhur.

This trip to Kyushu was good, like always! No disappointment, just fun and happiness.  Being my fifth trip to Japan, all things I see and people I meet there still impresses me.

Will you be amused if I told you I am still having the post holiday blues now???  And this explains the slow momentum in getting back into my kitchen! Reminiscing all good times made me lazy hahaha!  So expect slow updates.  All I have here after this are mostly photos of my Baileys Irish Cream Chiffon Cake. Simple, but yummy.

Be back soon!
