Chef Clarence,

Do you know how to make a pandan flavored sponge cake?

Hello Laura
Yes, I do have recipes for pandan sponge cake and pandan chiffon cake. However, I need to know if you
have access to fresh pandan leaves or pandan extract
(usually available at Vietnamese and Thai market). Since I live in Vancouver, Canada those items are easy
to come by. The easiest way to make a pandan cake is simply add 1/4 tsp. pandan extract to your basic sponge
cake batter using 4 eggs. For more authenic Malaysian
taste, I would make a pandan chiffon cake with coconut
milk. Please state which one you're interested in and
I'm glad to share the recipes.
Happy baking,
Chef Clarence from Canada

Buon Appetito

Hi Laura and Chef Clarence,

This is Diana from Diana's Desserts website.

I also have 2 or 3 recipes for Pandan Cake. One is for a Pandan Chiffon Cake, one is for a Pandan Layer Cake, and I also have a recipe for a Pandan Cake that has a syrup and sesame topping.

Please let me know if either of you are interested. I may post one or more of these recipes on my website under my International Desserts and Treats Recipes category, but I will wait to see what you two decide on.

Sincerely, Diana
Diana's Desserts

Chef Clarence,

I do have access to pandan leaves or pandan extract, and I've tried to make cakes with them but they don't have that certain aroma that I'm looking for. Maybe I'm not using a good pandan extract but that's all I can find. I would like to try the Malaysian recipe that you've mentioned. Thank you.

Hi PC
This is Chef Clarence. Since there is a large Vietnamese community in Vancouver, Canada, most ingredients for Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and East
Indian cooking can be easily located. There are about
20 Vietnamese stores and supermarkets along Kingsway,
most of them carry fresh pandan leaves, lemon grass,
frozen coconut milk etc. for parparing exotic SE Asian
baking goodies; and they are quite inexpensive, say
$3.00US a pound of fresh pandan leaves.
Happy baking
Chef Clarence


Buon Appetito

Hi Diana

there were several unsuccessful attempts at making the pandan cake.  I've tried all kinds of recipes for Pandan Cake but they always turned out very hard and flat.  There was even once when I nearly set the oven on fire!!  Playful

I just came across your site today and would like to try your recipe. However, I don't know what is cream of tartar.  I am currently living in Denmark and I've even searched in the german supermarkets in Germany and no one knows what is Cream of Tartar here.  Not even the Vietnamese shops here know what is that. Are there any more simple form for this ingredient? Please help as I really miss the cake very miss since I am a Singaporean myself.

thank you.
