Coconut pandan cake

Coconut Pandan Cake is a type of cake that is made using a combination of coconut and pandan flavors. Pandan is a plant that is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine to impart a sweet, fragrant aroma and taste to food. If you have ever smelled freshly cut grass or the scent of vanilla, that's what pandan smells like!

To make this cake, a mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, coconut milk, and pandan juice is usually combined together. The pandan juice comes from grinding the leaves of the pandan plant and mixing it with water to extract its flavor. The ingredients are then mixed together until the batter becomes smooth and well-combined.

The batter is then poured into a greased baking pan and baked in an oven until it rises and turns a golden brown color. Once finished, you slice the cake into portions and serve!

The resulting cake is soft, moist, and spongy, with a distinct coconut flavor and the sweet fragrance of pandan. The cake is typically enjoyed as a dessert or snack and can be served plain or with additional toppings such as whipped cream or fresh fruits on top. Yum!
