Pandan cake


Woohooo!!!!!!!!!! Finally succeeded in my pandan cake. For the first few tries, it was still a bit sticky on the inside. I thought it was the container but after using the round container with the hole, it was still like that. I had to try various ways, after getting tips from Joan, I tried the way of increasing temperature of oven to 190 degrees, use a tray to block the heat first then remove after 15 mins. Anyway lemme share the recipe first. For my orange cake, all is the same, except I replace coconut milk with orange juice and also added 1 tbsp of zest. For pandan extract, I add 3/4 of tsp with this recipe.
