Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a round tin about 22 cm wide.
  2. Blend the pandanus leaves with 50 ml of water and strain to obtain a green juice.
  3. Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture turns pale.
  4. Add the coconut milk, pandanus juice and vanilla, then mix.
  5. Fold in the sifted flour with the baking powder, then the grated coconut, without overworking the batter.
  6. Pour into the tin and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.
  7. Let it cool slightly before turning out.

Variations and tips

Egg-free version. Replace the eggs with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons of water, for a denser cake.
