SGFS: Pandan Layer Cake

Sunday 4 August 2013


In my new home now! Everything's smaller. The house, the fridge, the gym... But I'll get used to it. I'm glad I have a regular oven now though! Enough with crazy convection ovens. Oh and my new rooms really pretty.

My cat however is completely freaked out. He doesn't dare move about. He justs crouches in a corner and stays still :( 

This pandan layer cake is super healthy, delicious, gluten free, added sugar free and paleo! You have to try it :) 


Ingredients
4 eggs
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey

3 tbsp coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

5 Pandan leaves, chopped
Can of coconut milk left in the fridge overnight

Method
Preheat regular oven to 180C
1. Blend pandan leaves in a bullet blender. Add eggs and blend.
2. Mix coconut flour and baking powder in a bowl
3. Pour in egg mixture, vanilla, honey and coconut oil. Combine well.
4. Transfer to a prepared Swiss roll tray and bake for15min or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Remove cake and cut into thirds.
6. Scoop out thick cream gathered on top of the coconut milk. The coconut milk should have separated into a thick layer on top and a watery layer below. Beat the cream. (Ok I didn't wait long enough so it was drippy whatever.) 
7. Spread onto cake and layer. Slice and serve!

  1. Hi there,

    Can only egg yolks be used and the egg whites discarded?

    How could the recipe be adapted then if omitting the egg whites?

    Thanks

    1. Hi! The cake probably wouldn't rise as well without egg whites. Why do you want to omit them?
