Chiffon Pandan Cake 香兰戚风蛋糕
This soft and feather light Chiffon pandan cake tasted perfect and fragrant with coconut cream and freshly squeezed pandan juice. The natural pastel green colour came from the pandan juice itself (anyway, if you prefer a deeper green, just add a little green colouring into the batter) and the sweetness is just right, not too sweet to my liking. This chiffon pandan cake also happens to be one of my family’s all time favourite.
Making the pandan juice is very easy with the help of a blender and some water. Then place the blended pandan leaves inside a disposable or muslin bag and squeeze out the juice as much as you can (in fact I had shared how to extract a more pure pandan juice before in my old post, mini pandan butter cake) Store pandan juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator and it can last for a week.
use a pair of scissors and snip 20 pandan leaves to small pieces and blend with 150ml water in batches till fine
用剪刀把20片香兰叶剪成小片，加入150毫升清水一起搅拌至细腻（分批搅拌比较容易搅碎香兰叶），放入过滤袋（我用茶包袋）挤出香兰叶汁即可备用。把用不完的香兰汁收进密封罐冷藏，可保存一个星期。

Hello ann, in case i would like to use pandan extract, what is the amount required as well as any changes to the coconut cream?
Hi Claire, can add 1-2 tsp of pandan extract and no changes in the coconut cream.
Hello Ann, I just baked this chiffon cake today and it was delicious! I did encounter a problem with the appearance though. The cake seemed to have risen too much on one side, to the extent that there was an empty section. The upper part of the cake also seemed abit more dense. Would you know where I went wrong?
Hi Sherlyn,
Your cake problem might due to the following:
Uneven batter when pouring into the cake pan, higher at one side.Some egg whites deflated if you have banged the cake pan too hard that causes an empty section before placing it in the oven to bake. So is better to omit this step.Better to use smaller eggs for your cake pan next time because the cake will rises up to an extent during the process of baking and will drop flat after baked.Hope these help.
Hello Ann, your advice is really helpful and timely! I just baked another chiffon, let’s see how it looks after cooling down!
Hi Ann, the second round was a success! This recipe is a keeper. Thank you!
