Mango & Passion Fruit Chiffon Cake

The passion fruit seeds are very crunchy

This is a good chiffon cake recipe from Happy Home Baking.  I like to follow the recipe from Happy Home Baking because most of the chiffon cake recipes here only require 3 eggs.  I prefer to bake a smaller cake so that it can be finished sooner rather than a bigger cake which cannot be finished by my small family.
