Pandan Chiffon Cake
- 4 ounces cake flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 eggs, separated
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces coconut milk
- 1 pandan leaf, pounded to a pulp in a mortar & pestle and juice squeezed out (discard leaf pulp) OR 1 ts pandan essence
- 6 ounces sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- a few drops green food colouring (optional)
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and baking powder three times. In a smaller bowl, mix together egg yolks, oil, salt, coconut milk, and pandan juices or essence.
- In a third bowl, beat egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.
- Make a well in the flour mixture, add the yolk mixture, and stir gently to combine. If you're using the food colouring, add it here - just enough to evoke a delicate spring green, not a St Patrick's Day beer. Fold in the egg whites.
- Scrape batter into an ungreased tube pan (providing it doesn't smell of monkeymom's roast chicken!) and bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Invert onto a long-necked bottle and cool completely. This cake is normally served unadorned.
