Hi,
If no pandan juice, can we just use pandan paste or dilute in water to make the juice? thks

The green on your pandan cake is beautiful, and I bet the taste must be yummy too.

Hi Wendyywy, DG, Angie's Recipes and Jess,

Hi CheezyHeart,

You can use 1/2tsp of pandan paste and 1tsp of pandan essence to give a stronger pandan flavour, just mix it into the cake batter.

Hi Mary Moh,

Thanks, this is indeed very delicious cake. My recipe used coconut powder instead of coconut milk so this is not so high in calories and the dessicated coconut give the cake a nice coconut flavor. I think should be the colour of the cake make it look very moist.
