Pandan chiffon cake

My mum used to bake chiffon cake when I was little.
I remembered that she used to bake with a tube pan.
The tube in the center of the pan lets the hot air circulate
so the heat can reach the center of the cake.
We had to invert the cake immediately to keeps the cake
from shrinking.But I like to use round pan cuz it's look more presentable.
