The candied grapefruit is beautiful. I love dragon fruit, too. I had my fair share when I was in Vietnam for 2 weeks. I should start experimenting, too! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the "perfect recipe" for this cake. :) Carol . . the birthday cake looks gorgeous. The candied grapefruit is beautiful.

For my next test, I think I will cut back on the baking powder just a tich because there were a few large holes. I am also going to change the pan size I use and think that will reduce the amount of levener needed as well.

Usually with chiffon cakes, the holes can get too stretched and springy, but yours is tighter. I think that looks incredible, especialy the crumb.
