Pandan (cake)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pandan cake is a light, fluffy cake flavoured with the juice of the pandanus leaves. The cakes are light green in tone due to the chlorophyll in the leaf juice. It also sometimes contain green food colouring to further enhance its colour. The cakes are sometimes not made with the leaf juice but instead simply flavoured with pandanus extract, in which case, colouring must be added to give the cake a green colour.

It is popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and China. It is also known as Pandan Chiffon.
