I recently bought some pandan extract from a Chinese grocery store. I found this recipe from the Decorated Treats blog and I didn’t fancy making a pandan chiffon cake as I find that process quite complicated! If you have never had pandan flavour before, it has a vanilla and flowery taste. This recipe is a pound cake so the method is really easy and it tastes delicious! I have already made this cake twice!!
Ingredients – 180g salted butter, 180g granulated sugar, 180g Self-raising flour, 3 x eggs, 3 x tbsp milk, half tsp of baking powder, pinch of salt, 1 tsp pandan extract. Optional – green food colouring.
Method:
- Preheat oven to GM3 and line your loaf cake tin. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy into your mixer.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and mix this into the creamed mixture in 3 batches. Alternate each batch of flour with milk, starting and ending with flour.
- Add the pandan extract and if your extract is white, add some green food flavouring. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into your loaf tin and smooth it at the top. Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake is ready (no wet batter sticking to the skewer to check). Leave it in the tin for 5 minutes and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
