Ingredients

• 150 g cake flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 100 g organic sugar
• 200 ml coconut milk
• 60 ml vegetable oil
• 60 ml pandan juice (from freshly blended pandan leaves)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp matcha powder (for coloring, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the sugar and whisk to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, vegetable oil, pandan juice, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula until just combined. If desired, add the matcha powder to enhance the green color.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, slice and serve your vegan pandan cake, or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
