I used half of the ingredients stated in the original recipe and instead of using artificial pandan essence, I squeezed smashed pandan leaves from our garden to get some fresh pandan juice.
Here's the version of the recipe that I used yesterday to make the butter cake.
Pandan Marble Butter Cake cut in mini squares.
Pandan Marble Butter Cake
Ingredients:
- 4 Eggs
- 100gr Sugar
- 100gr Unsalted butter, melted
- 100gr Cake flour, sifted
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp Condensed milk
- 1 tsp Ovalette/emulsifier
- Few drops of pandan paste/ 2 tbsp fresh pandan juice
- Few drops of green food colouring, if desired
Tutorials:
- Beat eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla essence, ovalette and condensed milk by using high-speed electric mixer until the mixture is pale, fluffy and double in volume.
- Slowly drizzle the melted butter onto the cake batter and keep on whisking it by using slow-speed electric mixer until everything is just well combined.
- Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Add pandan paste/juice and green food colouring into one portion and mix well by using rubber spatula.
- Pour the white and green cake batters alternately into a square baking pan already lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cake at 150-160 degree Celsius in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the cake from oven and let it cool in the baking pan for about 5 minutes.
- Cut the cake to mini squares when it is completely cooled.
Perfect companion for a cup of hot Milo. tea or coffee.
The smell of the condensed milk and butter when mixed into the cake batter was so good and I knew that this cake would be everyone's favourite. As for the verdict of the cake's final result - I personally loved the very soft texture of this cake and won't hesitate to try making it again, probably with different flavour and colour for variation. I cut my cake into mini squares for easy consumption and they were all gone by this morning.
