Mini Pandan Butter Cake 迷你斑兰牛油蛋糕
Today is the last day of the month of September 2013. Have you noticed that during this month, many bloggers have posted recipes using pandan leaves and mostly all the pictures are in green colour too? Yes, it’s for the Little Thumbs Up event which is hosted by Joceline，Butter, Flour or Me. So here I’m sharing this Mini Pandan Butter Cake on the last day of the LTU event. I adapted this recipe for Pandan Butter Cake that Angie from My Mum’s Cake House had shared with us last week. I baked the cake into mini sizes using the small muffin pan and mini donut pan. I’m very pleased with the end result. This pandan fragrant small cake has a little crust on top and the texture is soft even though it is a little crumbly. So good to serve with a cup of tea and I just can’t stop but to grab a second one after the first.

Author: Ann Low
Serves: 36 small cakes
Ingredients
- 180g Butter, room temperature

- 45g Pandan extract (follow the instruction below to make pandan extract)
- 35g Coconut milk
- 220g Self raising flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
Instructions
- Combine pandan extract and coconut milk together and mix well. (Is ok if you don't get enough 45g of pandan extract, just top up with coconut milk.)
- Cream butter and sugar until light. Gradually add beaten egg into mixture and beat until fluffy at medium speed.
- Sieve in all the self raising flour, baking powder and coconut milk mixture. Gently fold well the mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Spoon mixture into into small cupcake liner or lightly greased/cooking spray on small muffin pan.
- Bake at preheated oven at 165 degrees C for about 12 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
- Best to serve warm. Store the small cakes in an airtight container and re-heat for 8-10 minutes before consuming.
- 迷你斑兰牛油蛋糕
- 材料：约36个小蛋糕
- 180克 牛油
- 80克 细砂糖
- 2个鸡蛋 ，打撒（一个鸡蛋约65克）
- 45克 班兰精华汁
- 35克 椰浆
- 220克 自发面粉
- 1茶匙 泡打粉
- 做法：
- 将班兰精华汁和椰浆混合均匀。
- 先把牛油及糖打至松发，分次加入鸡蛋继续打发（用中速度）。
- 粉类（过筛）。粉类和液体（班兰精华汁+椰浆），用刮刀搅拌均匀。
- 然后舀入小纸杯里或玛芬盘内（盘内抹油）。
- 放进预热烤箱摄氏165度，烘烤大约12分钟至熟或竹签扎入蛋糕内部不粘黏就可以。
- 蛋糕温热的时候就好吃。剩下的蛋糕收进密封盒子，可以再放进小烤箱烤约10分钟即可享用。
- To make pandan extract (I’m following the method from Zoe, Bake for Happy Kids)
- Using a kitchen scissor, snip 20 fresh pandan leaves into small pieces.
- Place them into a blender in 3 batches with 50ml water each time. (total 150ml water or add little more of water if you find the pandan leaves are still too dry to process)
- Place blitzed pandan into a small disposable soup bag and squeeze out the pandan juice.
- Leave pandan juices in the fridge overnight.
- The juice will separate into two distinct layers. Remove the top clear liquid layer and use the deep green colour sediment as concentrated pandan extract.
- Do not freeze the extract as it will lose its fragrance after freezing and thawing.
I am submitting this to the Little Thumbs Up “Pandan” event organized
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
can i boil the pandan leaves in the water to get even more pandan fragrant into the water?
Hi Joanee, Sure you can if you prefer to boil the pandan leaves with water.
made 4 batches of your recipe today over the last 2 days. Delicious! Party people loved them – so exotic. THANK YOU
Hi Ann, for the pandan extract can I subsitiute with pandan paste and water instead? Thanks
Hi Vannterline,Yes you can use about 2 tsp of pandan paste but the taste will not be so natural. BTW this cake is quite crumbly after baked.Happy Baking!
Hi Mel, Then you must try this fragrant cake. Is full of pandan flavour 🙂
Ann, I posted my comment yesterday did you receive it? What is the texture of these cakes? Are they like muffin or soft and cottony like chiffon cakes? By the way, where to buy soup disposal bag? If I don't have one can I use a sieve? Thanks!
So pretty! Can have some for breakfast?
Hi Ann, very nice cake. May I know where can we buy the edible printer?

I can't believe the month of September has slipped by so quickly, Ann. And yes, I have seen all the lovely recipes that include Pandan as an ingredient. As a matter of fact, I am so intrigued I am going to inquire at the Asian store in State College to see if they have it in stock. In the meantime, I will have to imagine nibbling at your minis in my dreams. They sure look like a perfect delicacy to enjoy with a cup of tea. (have another for me:)Thank you so much for sharing, Ann…
