西瓜戚风蛋糕 (Watermelon Chiffon Cake)

炎热的天气，来片西瓜。。。。。。。。戚风蛋糕吧？

虽然此瓜不是冰凉多汁，但是一样艳红鲜甜呢！

另外它的皮和籽是可以吃的哦！
On a hot day, why not have a slice of watermelon..........
.........chiffon cake? Haha.......
even though this "melon" isn't cooling and juicy, it's just as delicious. Besides, its "skin" and "seeds" are edible!

 它的皮不止可以吃，而且是很香绿茶味，

在烘焙的当儿，绿茶香气还把我的肚子引得咕咕叫呢！
Not only is the skin edible, but it is also a very yummy green tea flavor! In fact, while baking, it filled the entire house with the aroma of green tea, mmm!
