Pandan chiffon cake – it never goes out of style. The donut craze has come and gone. The popularity of cupcake is slowing down. And here we have, a cake that has no icing, no sprinkles, but just plain green in colour. Yet this ordinary-looking cake has withstood the test of time and is still very much in style. I have heard stories of how tourists will snap up boxes of this legendary cake before boarding their flights. And it is no surprise that there is a Bengawan Solo outlet at Changi Airport Terminal 3.<\/p>\n

Given its strong heritage in Singapore, you can easily find them in almost any mainstream bakeries, of course unless they are sold out. And now, they can be found in supermarkets as well. That just show how much Singaporeans love this cake.<\/p>\n

I baked a pandan chiffon cake on a Sunday in my new 21cm chiffon pan. It was a scaled-up version of a recipe that I have tried successfully for many times. But due to the misjudgment in the baking time required, the cake collapsed and I was utterly depressed. I only recovered when my 2nd attempt was a success! And now I know, 55 minutes is the key.<\/p>\n

The hardest part of baking this cake is definitely judging whether you have attained the stiff peak stage. What I always do is to turn my mixing bowl over to make sure the meringue doesn’t fall off the bowl. If it doesn’t, then I can be pretty sure I have reached the stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
