Pandan Chiffon Cake (Nyonya Food)

Last Wednesday, as early as 9.30 am, I went to Nilai 3 with Maz Bahrain, the proud owner of the blog Ilham Dapur . She wanted to get something for her house and asked me to accompany her which I gladly accepted. And I had to pay a price for my willingness! I ended up buying curtains for my house, just the downstairs. Anyway, I think hubby will be happy because then, he won't have to bring me to shop for curtains for Eid! Hahaha... We had a swell time there, especially when we have Noni, my friend, with us to be our tourist guide. Noni is staying at Seri Putra and she's very familiar with Nilai 3. Thank you so much Maz for asking me out and Noni for your kind assistance. We shall do this activity more often, don't you think so? *wink* *wink*

And since Maz really enjoyed the Orange Chiffon that I had given her the day before, I just had to bake this Pandan Chiffon and gave her a some... It's the exact recipe from Nyonya Food. Thank you so much dear for this lovely recipe and allow me to post it here for others to share. Again, the cake doesn't look perfect, but the taste is! Don't believe me, try baking it yourself!

Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Once cake is cooked, remove cake from oven immediately and invert pan onto wire rack. Let it cool before removing cake from pan
