Ingredients

For the Sponge Cake:
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 50ml coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 30ml pandan juice (or green food coloring)
  • 80g all-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add half of the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks appear.

  2. Mix Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining sugar, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and pandan juice until smooth and pale in color.

  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.

  4. Add Flour: Sift the flour over the batter and gently fold it in until just combined, ensuring no lumps remain.

  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan or individual ramekins. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. Serve with additional coconut milk drizzled over top if desired.
