Pandan Chiffon 香兰戚风

My pandan plants grow wildly at the backyard, look very messy, so i cut off few plants and use the leaves to make pandan paste. Later i use this pandan paste to make this pandan chiffon. Nowadays i stop buying artificial pandan paste but prefer to use homemade pandan paste, love the light jade green colour and very nice pandan aroma..

Homemade pandan paste- very easy to make, cut pandan leaves (suggest to use old leaves) as thin as possible using a scissor. Blend it with water, pour it into fine strainer and squeeze the juices.  Pour pandan juices into a glass jar and store in the fridge for few days. Discard the upper layer of water (try not to add in any baking, taste bitter) and only use the thick paste which sink at the bottom (The more pandan leaves use to make the juices, the faster the pandan paste sink to the bottom).

Recently i just bought another new chiffon pan, it is a Japanese type of chiffon pan which is without the metal legs..So I have to invert this way..

  17. Sonia、香喷喷的班兰香,我嗅到了。好最欢最后一张照片,高高再上的7风蛋糕,是否已经把它(日式7风模)败回来了。剪成小小片V型班兰叶点缀得真好看,好欢喜噢!。。是的,上次你问我的问题,我在这儿回复你。
    我照相的时候其实也没什么特别的,嘻!都喜欢靠在地上旁边的落地玻璃门,阳光不需要太亮。。就是自己在捉摸,因为一时,不同时间光度都在变;)所以从来不在晚上照相。。记得之前搬进来这家,好辛苦咯!蛋糕都搬上又搬下,家里每个角落都在寻找适合我要的地方。。哈哈!最后幸好找到了:)是不是有点夸张傻傻D。。
    这就是我的小分享。我喜欢看照片,你家照片是其中之一;)

  18. Nice Chiffon, Sonia!

    U are so lucky to have fresh pandan leaves in your garden. Wish I had one too, the pre-cut one from the grocery is not fragrant as the fresh one.

  31. Sonia, can I ask you a question? I hope you won't find it stupid. Can I use normal pan for baking Chiffon cake. I don't want to invest in the chiffon tin before I master the skill. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yan, yes, you can use a normal pan to bake a chiffon but do not use a non-stick pan. Also you have to beat egg white till stiff because the normal pan has no insert or tube at the middle to support the cake to rise. Hope this help.

  33. I love the heart shape chiffon pan. Very cute. I miss the time where I can go to my mom's backyard to cut some pandan leaves for my baking and dessert. I tried growing it here but it can't survive the winter :(

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hi Sonia, my panda cake always ended up crashing at the top, I tried different temperatures but ask turns out the same. Any advice on that?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Linda, for chiffon cake, cracking is normal, just let it facing down .

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hi, I had bakedone ur pandan Chiffon cake n my family love it. Can I check with u, I keep 2 pieces for 2 days outside room temperature, then I see there's moist on the cake, why is that so?
    Also if I want to do other flavours of chiffon like coffee, how do I know how much coffee powder to add in? Tks.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hwee Yong Chua, since homebaked without adding preservative , so it will get spoilt very quickly , try to consume within 2days otherwise keep inside the fridge . For coffee flavour , you can just add in 1/2-1tsp of coffee powder (dilute with 1-2tsp hot water), pandan water can replace with milk, the rest should remain

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi Sonia,if I want to change tis pandan Chiffon into Blue pea chiffon, do I still use 80ml of liquid? Sorry cos I know it's unrelated to tis pandan chiffon recipe.
