Pandan Chiffon Cake

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Pandan Chiffon is not a new cake and most home bakers would have baked this over and over again. But it took me so long to decide to give pandan chiffon a try – reason being I am just too lazy to extract and wait for it the following day.  I find it too time consuming until I saw pandan paste at NTUC so decided to try it.  Woohoo…. I love the texture of this cake – its so soft, moist and my neighbor said its better than Begawan Solo.

PS: A veteran homebaker said it lacks pandan fragrance and has advised me to try it with extract and I
will be able to tell the difference.
