Equipment

  • 1 Kitchenaid Mixer Otherwise, use muscles to whip.
  • 1 Egg Beater/Whip
  • 1 Aluminium Tube Pan

Ingredients
  

Meringue

  • 7 no Egg Whites
  • 210 g Sugar (I used plain white sugar)

Egg Yolk Mixture

  • 7 no Egg Yolks
  • 80 g Oil
  • 80 g Coconut Milk
  • 40 g Water
  • 2 tbsp Pandan Essence adjust to your taste
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 210 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 165C

Make the Egg Yolk mixture first

  • Place egg yolks, oil, water, coconut milk, salt and pandan essence into a large bowl and mix. Do not over mix.
  • Sift and add in the self-raising flour and baking powder.

Make the meringue

  • Beat the egg whites till foamy.
  • Add the sugar gradually, beat another 4 or 5 minutes (or until the egg whites are shiny) to medium to stiff peaks.

Folding in

  • Mix 1/4 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture to 'loosen' the mixture.
  • Fold in the rest of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture.

Baking

  • Pour the mixture into the tube pan, and wipe the batter off the sides. Run a knife through the mixture to remove excess bubbles. Shake to even the surface. Do not bang or try to remove more air bubbles.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 160 to 165C.
  • Ready when a skewer inserted comes out clean. Do not open the oven before the 1 hour mark.

Cooling

  • Cool the cake completely upside down. Remove from the mold using a spatula. Cut the sides clean to unmold.
