Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 Fahrenheit).
  2. Sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolk, coconut milk, pandan juice, and vegetable oil until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  6. Gradually add granulated sugar to the egg whites while beating until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold one third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it.
  8. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  9. For the batter into an ungreased 6 inch chiffon cake pan.
  10. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  11. Invert the pan immediately and let the cake cool completely upside down to maintain height.
  12. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake and remove from the pan.

Tips

  • Use fresh pandan juice or high quality pandan extract for best flavor.
  • Do not grease the chiffon cake pan to help the cake rise properly.
  • Fold the egg whites gently to keep the batter airy and light.
  • Invert the cake pan immediately after baking to prevent collapse.
