Pandan Coconut Cake is a tropical indulgence that beautifully blends the fragrant essence of pandan leaves with luscious coconut milk, resulting in a moist, fluffy dessert that’s simply irresistible.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp pandan extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add eggs, coconut milk, and pandan extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

If desired, top with whipped cream or shredded coconut for added flavor.
