For first sister and her family, I tried steaming pandan cakes. I don't use real pandan. It would take a lot just to make enough colour and flavour. I used store bought pandan flavour instead. It's a new recipe I found in Youtube and I wasn't sure whether I would succeed The wet ingredients: - 3 eggs - 1/4 cup of milk - 1/2 cup of sugar - 1 tsp of ovalette - 1 tsp of vanilla extract - 1 tsp of pandan flavour - 1/2 tsp of green colouring Just blend all of them. I don't have hand mixer, I use blender. Then add the wet ingredients to 1 cup of self raising flour that was strained. Mix and strain again to remove lumps. Afterwards pour into a container (huge or individual like the ones that I used) and steam until it's cook. I think it's about 15-20 minutes. I think it's a success. Definitely going to try again

Ovalette is stabilizer used in baking sponge cakes. Maybe you can try substitute it with any other stabilizer. So far I've only use ovalette.

@xstitcher @thelme55 what stabilizer do you add when baking cake? Or you didn't use any?

@prinzcy Thank you for sharing that with us. I used to love chocolate chip pancakes but I could not make just one and they were so filling that I do not eat them anymore. So,how did it turn out?

Pandan is tropical plant found mostly in Southeast Asia. Mostly use in cooking as food colouring and some as air freshener.

Ovalette is the stabilizer. I don't know whether they're available in The Philippines. What do you add for stabilizer when making cake? You probably can use that.

I use them mostly in cooking. We don't use fragrant rice. So I add pandan leaves to give the white rice more aroma.

Yes, gone so fast too! I can try making it again. That self raising flour came in 900gm packages. I couldn't find a smaller one
