Peach Chiffon Cake

This chiffon cake is light, moist and soft, unlike the ones that we buy from the bakeries which is usually soft and light but dry. It is a great cake to have at tea time break, a slice or two for a light breakfast. There's no butter but uses the minimal of vegetable oil, great for those who are watching their weight. This recipe makes a rather small cake. I make one and a half recipe and use a 18cm tube pan. I would usually prefer to eat chiffon cake as it is, without any cream or topping, as the cake is light and airy, and somehow it doesn't taste right with all the creams, toppings or glazes. Here's the recipe :
