Pandan Butter Cake

I saw this recipe again from my favorite home-cooked blogger "Nasi Lemak Lover" and decided to make it a try at home. A very concentrated pandan butter cake. Here's the link to her website Pandan Butter Cake

Can't believe that the taste is just so awesome... and yes, this color is originally from the concentrated pandan juice, and no extra coloring added! It's pure!

Here's the recipe!

Pandan Butter Cake

250g butter
160g sugar
4 eggs
250g cake flour
2tsp of double action baking powder
6tbsp homemade pandan paste (concentrated pandan juice)

1. Sift cake flour and baking powder in a bowl, set aside
2. Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
3. Add in egg one at a time, mixing well.
4. Fold in flour and pandan paste, combine well.
5. Pour cake mixture into cake tin.
7. Bake in pre-heated oven at 180C for 60mins or skewer came out clean.

To make concentrated pandan juice, blend as much pandan leaves as possible and refrigerate for few days until there's a layer of concentrated pandan juice at the bottom, which looks a lot like "algae". Hehe... And use that part for the very green look of your cake! =) Happy Baking!!

Chocolate Chips Pancake

It was raining heavily outside and thanks to my instinct that I applied half day leave today. Otherwise I could have stucked in a 2 hours horrible horrendous jam! I had a good afternoon nap and then, woke up to find that I'm hungry! Hehehe.... I don't have any biscuits/bread at home and wondering what will be the easiest to cook snack for tea time. Look around in my favorite food bloggers and I found this! Chocolate Chips pancake sounds interesting and it does not need much ingredients/preparations. I have all of the required ingredients in my fridge.. so voila!!

This pancake is just so delicious.... I would want to try pandan/strawberry pancake the next round!

Delicious @ 1Utama

Since 1U is no longer 5 mins drive from our home, we only have the so-called-good-food once in a blue moon when we are out and about and so many food-wish-list in mind. So on that day of out and about, we decided to step in to Delicious for pasta! We both love western food because Mon-Fri are loaded with Asian food at home... so SAY NO to Asian food in the weekend. Hehe...
