Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 6 eggs, separated

  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 8 tablespoons water

  • ¼ teaspoon pandan paste

  • 5 tablespoons corn oil

  • 1 cup self-rising flour, sifted

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

  3. Beat egg yolks and sugar in a separate bowl until sugar has dissolved.

  4. Whisk water and pandan paste until smooth; mix thoroughly into egg yolk mixture. Stir in corn oil, then fold in sifted flour.

  5. Fold egg yolk mixture gently into beaten egg whites using a spatula. Pour into a 9-inch chiffon cake mold.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Invert cake mold onto a cooling rack immediately after removing it from the oven. Let cake cool upside down in the mold. Loosen cooled cake from the mold using a sharp knife.

Tips

You can use pandan extract instead of paste.
