Why Pandan Cake Is The Cake You Never Knew You Needed

Have you ever seen a more beautiful dessert in your life? This doesn't even need food coloring to make it this gorgeous green, because Pandan extract makes this Pandan Cake this color naturally.

What is Pandan?

It's a lovely green extract that has a unique flavor. Some say it's like an exotic vanilla with a fresh herbal overtone. Others say words can't describe the flavor, and to just enjoy it. I say it's delicious and try to use it in as many things as possible!

Pandan is an exotic plant that grows in Southeast Asia and the extract is made from the leaves. It's commonly used to flavor desserts like this Pandan Cake in that area's cuisine.

Can You Bake A Chiffon Cake In The Instant Pot?

Despite what you may think, baking in the Instant Pot is not only easy, but makes incredible food. This Pandan cake, and any of the cakes I've made in my Instant Pot, doesn't turn out soggy, but is beautifully moist and fully cooked at the same time.

Why Does Chiffon Cake Have A Hole In The Middle?

Chiffon cake is traditionally baked in a bundt pan to help the delicate batter rise.

If you try baking this cake in a larger pan without a hole in the middle, the weight of the cake may cause the cake to sink in the middle.
