Best Pandan Chiffon Cake

Started baking Pandan Chiffon Cake when one my girlfriend introduce it to me. It's simple to bake but there is a need to follow the steps very carefully.

Chiffon cake is egg white rich cakes that stays light and soft even when fridged.
The 'air' that is in the whisked egg whites are the main rising agents.
Hence it is important to not over whisk them or deflat them while folding into the pandan mixture..

Honestly I have tried about 5 different kind of recipes from different baking blog. But I love the texture of the cake that this recipe gave! It rises evenly, the density of the cake is just right and the texture is just better than my other attempts..






 
 
 

 
 
The brown outer layer of the chiffon is what I love most. This cake is best for Breakfast.
