Coconut Cotton Cake 椰香棉花蛋糕
This small cake is full of coconut and pandan fragrance. The cake texture is cottony and soft like a chiffon cake. I followed this recipe from Jane and Joceline to the ‘T’ but I baked the cake in the usual way instead of steam-baking it. You will notice that my cake is a little out of shape because it dropped out from the cake pan a little short while after it was inverted. Nonetheless we polished off the cake in seconds during our afternoon tea.

Ann, that's a lovely, fragrant and soft cake! Since it's a 6" cake, I think I can polish off the whole cake by myself hah..hah…
Mam Ann no baking powder added?
Don't mind the shape..I can see the texture is real good..
Ann, the cake looks so soft and moist. BTW this post is not in the lnLinkz, I almost miss out.
I can wallop this small cake all by myself. And I like the first picture!
Hi Ann,
Wow! This coconut cotton cake is a beauty!
Zoe

This looks amazing! I love your cute cakes and everything on your blog. I've been watching you for ages but I almost never comment. Just wanted to say that I really love your blog and you've made me discover this new love for baking lovely things.
So smooth and pillowy! Well done, Ann.
I love small serving size cake!
Hi Ann, never mind if it's out of shape so long it taste great ! I could smell the sweet pandan coconut fragrance ^-^!
looks tempting, i wonder what type of butter you used for this cake?
Hi Addie, I used SCS salted butter for this cake.
Hi Ann
谢谢分享,妳的蛋糕很吸睛。我的烘炉比较适合水浴烘法,请问原温度和时间是多少呢?
Hi Grace,
你可以用170度蒸烤约40-50分钟。
Hi, i have tried baking this 4 times. Each time when I inverted the cake on the wire rack, the cake shrunk and flattened. May i know the reason? But the cake really tasted good and moist. Thanks.
Hi Sherry, This cake recipe is similar as making a chiffon cake. You can add 1/4 tsp salt to the egg whites to stabilize the meringue and try to whisk the egg white a little longer to get a stiff peaks. So the cake will not drop off easily.
Hi, is it possible to bake a bigger cake with this recipe?
Hi Christine, you can double the recipe for 8 inch round cake pan.
Dear Ann,
Lovely cake. Luv it.
Coconut milk is actually santan, right? R u using the fresh santan or the one we can get it over the supermarket?
Hi Cecilia,
Thank you! I bought those packet one from the Fairprice supermarket.
