This looks interesting and yummy! Why is it call Thaildand Pandan Cream Cake? Does it originate from Thailand?
ReplyDeleteNever had this kind of cake before, sound interesting with the pandan layer.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of pandan kaya layer cake these few days. Your cake looks really good and creamy! I noticed you used 7 pieces of gelatine sheets for the pandan cream layer...how much in grams if I use gelatine powder?
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I think I will like this cake very much. Your green coloring is just nice, it look creamy.
ReplyDelete茵茵, I don't know whether it was originated from Thailand or not. It was the name of the recipe . i have not googled to find out.
ReplyDeleteHi Oh Bee Bee, The gelatine sheet I used is 2g per piece. I googled search 1 sheet= 1 teaspoon of gelatine powder; 3 sheets =1 tablespoon of gelatine powder. I am not sure if my weight is the same as I seen on google.
ReplyDeletePhong Hong, Thank you for your compliment. It is very creamy and fragrant.
ReplyDeleteSonia, This cake is very creamy, smooth and strong flavour of pandan.
ReplyDeleteHi Veronica, this pandan cake look delicious, very soft and creamy.yum yum
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.
Hello, I've just found this cool recipe of yours and the cake looks so delicious :3, I would like to have a try at baking this cake. But I have one question. The cream you used for making the pandan cream was whipping cream right? Then we need to whip it into stiff-peak before we fold it in with the other ingredients? And may I ask what cake emulsifier is? Thank you so much. I'll wait for your reply. :D
ReplyDeleteHi sorry for the late reply, and thank you for visiting my log. Yes , you need to whip up the cream before adding in. The cake emulsifier I used was ovalette. If you can't get ovalette, you may replace with SP. Hope to hear from you soon. Happy baking.
