Pineapple Chiffon Cake 凤梨戚风蛋糕_金鸡报春

I have some leftover pineapple filling from making pineapple tarts , so just simply use it to try out a chiffon cake. Surprisingly it turned very nice, moist and especially like the small bits of pineapples (i used homemade pineapple filling, so not sure you can have same effect if use store-bought pineapple filling).
