Pandan Flavor

Pandan leaves are known as Vanilla in Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, pandan leaves are used to add flavor to many pastries and dishes. For example, Kuih Ketayap (pandan coconut shredded rolls), Bubur Chacha and so on.

Mold Selection

This time we increase the portion and use a 6-inch square fixed cake mold, cut a piece of baking paper and put it on the bottom of the mold, so that the cake will be easily released after steaming. It is not recommended to use movable molds, because the probability of water ingress at the bottom is quite high.

Increase the Steaming Time

After the serving size is increased, the steaming time should be relatively increased. If you want to steam a larger cake, you have to increase the time and make adjustments yourself. So when you have mastered the steamed cake we shared in the previous issue. It is not a problem to adjust the portion and change the flavor!

  1. This looks delicious, but unfortunately I don’t have access to fresh pandan leaves where I live. Is it possible to use pandan extract instead, and if so, how much?
