Pandan Chiffon Cake

I have not been back to the city for 2 wks... have been suffering from withdrawal symptoms from GOOD food since. Ask marvin and he'll tell you how miserable I have been :( My hunger and desperation has inspired me to discover a few new recipes and this is one of them. Improvised from http://lilyng2000.blogspot.com/2006/03/pandan-chiffon-cake.html. Special thanks to MKBJ whose role was my kitchen assistant "by choice" ^_* ttz wat BF's are for :) I apologize for the weird measurements as I do not have a weighing scale so i make do with what I have, it is accurate enough though, beggars cant be choosers!

Ingredients:
150g cake flour OR 1.1 cups of plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

8 egg yolks
1 tbsp pandan essence (according to how strong you want the flavor)
300 ml AYAM coconut cream
160 g castor sugar / 0.6 cup of raw sugar

9 egg whites
1 tbsp castor sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions:

1) Heat coconut cream in pan over low heat and dissolve 160 grams of sugar. Leave to cool.
2) Sift flour, salt and baking powder together.
3) Mix egg yolks, pandan essence and coconut/sugar mixture thoroughly.
4) Slowly add flour mixture to above and mix until batter is smooth.\
5) Preheat oven at 160 degree celsius
6) Whisk egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar until stiff peaks.
7) Add 1/2 of egg white mixture to green batter and fold it in slowly.
8) Fold in the rest of the egg white mixture.
9) Pour into 23 inch tube pan.
10) Bake at 160 degrees celsius for 45minutes.
11) Take the cake out of the oven and invert the mould
12) Allow to cool like that for 1 hour
13) Use a knife to loosen the sides of the cake from the mould.

Wala!

For convenience, instead of buying a tube pan, I used a 20cm spring form pan and baked it in 2 batches. The smaller the pan you are using, the shorter the cooking time. To tell if the cake is done,just stick a satay stick through and make sure that the batter does not stick.

ENJOY!

P.S. If you think itz too troublesome, then just tell me in person how much you would like to try my cake, then mayb i'll consider making it for you personally :P
