Topic: Need help with pandan cake

  Hi!

This is my first post! I tried Diana's recipe for Pandan cake. I used cake flour, and pandan extract (did not get the paste yet). So I baked it, and it looked great when it came out. But when it cooled, I noticed a puddle of sticky liquid on the counter. Then I tried to remove it from the pan, and the bottom was still wet, and it looked like the Chinese steamed rice cakes, with the large chewy bubble texture?? So I cut off the top, and ate that... =)

Any ideas on what I did wrong??

  Not sure if you are refering to the pandan chiffon cake method but if you are, you might want to see if you have used too much liquid in the mixture. Good luck.
