Pandan Cotton Sponge Cake-As soft as cotton | MyKitchen101en 

How to attach photo here pls ?

My cake top is perfectly smooth, not a single cracked, when I unmould after 1 hour and 50 min as stated, shocked the life out of me. The cake below the browning top has multiple folds, exactly like a person who lost 30kg of weight and the skin are all fold in layers!!! Not straight and smooth ~~!!

Why wana put 6 pcs towel on the bottom? I really don't understand

Thanks for your support.

Hi can I replace coconut milk to full cream milk?

My pleasure 😊

1.25 times, may need to bake longer for bigger portion.

Does it look like the video once it’s cooked? And do you add yeast?

@@sreydyanna448yes it does. But after it was fully baked I let it cool down in the oven itself for about 3 hours. I didn't add yeast unfortunately.

Greasing just help the parchment paper to stick well to the pan, you don't have to grease the side of parchment paper which has contact with the batter..

I haven't faced this problem before. Do you beat you meringue until stiff? Just whisk until soft peak. Details and reminders at: mykitchen101en.com/pandan-cotton-sponge-cake-as-soft-as-cotton/

I have the same problem

Mine also has a very thin layer, less than 1 mm. I have tried making orange cotton sponge with orange juice (which have no oil) and it doesn't have this problem, so I think may be is the amount of oil. You may try reducing the oil by 10 g and see if it does help. Also make sure the batter is well mixed, i.e. mix until no green stripes visible.

I did another one with strawberry juice instead of pandan, with the same amount of oil. I removed paper towel to 2pcs only. No problem! But it didn’t taste as moist as the pandan, still as soft and nice tho. Does the water temperature and level in the water bath matter?

You may try using melted butter.

Haven't tried using this recipe as cup cake.

You may try using half of the portion.

MyKitchen101en hi i tried it yesterday and its turn out soo good🥺 but the problem is i cant cut it nicely like you, 😅 any tips so i can cut it clean to serve?

I cut the cake in sawing motion, use serrated knife if you have one.

It is because pf water sipping in or what? Or did the cake shrink?

You may try using the same amount.

Kindly post your photos at the comment section on my Facebook post here facebook.com/mykitchen101en/videos/623822161752198/

对, 用Asize的蛋。有些烤盘底部有接逢，水会渗入，所以需要在烤盘底部铺一层厨房纸巾和用铝箔纸包上。厨房纸巾可以吸入意外渗入的水，也可以避免装有面糊的烤盘碰到外面的烤盘，这样就不会太热。如果你的烤盘没有接逢，那可以不必包上锡箔纸，只需在烤盘底部放一块布来代替厨房纸巾即可。 详细做法和食谱请参考: wp.me/p7BssL-2o1

If you cake rise very fast in the oven, then the temperature is too hot, you may try lowering the temperature to 140°C. The cake should rise slowly during baking to prevent it from over-rising then collapsing when out of oven. Use 1 tsp if using lemon juice.

@@MyKitchen101en thank you for taking the time to answer, ill try that :)

I had the same prob but my cake deflated an inch. I should hv read this comment properly ☹️

The green colour is from pandan juice. With pandan fragrance, the egg smell is not strong.

This cake has a lot of eggs, so the taste of egg is strong. Do your batter deflate, if it is runny then it has deflated. Does your cake shrink after out of oven? You may refer details and reminder in the recipe to see which parts have gone wrong: mykitchen101en.com/pandan-cotton-sponge-cake-as-soft-as-cotton/ If you don't like eggy taste, you may try normal pandan chiffon, which has stronger pandan fragrance: mykitchen101en.com/pandan-sponge-cake/

Yes, my oven is 2 in 1 microwave cum convection oven.

Yes you can.

@@MyKitchen101en if so, what to alter in your recipe?? would you mind explain pls?

Hi yes may I know what would the conversion be like for Pandan Essence ? :)

This recipe doesn't need baking powder.

1 whole egg to combine with 7 egg yolks. Another part is 7 egg whites.

@@MyKitchen101en thank you very much🙌💖💕👍

No, this cake is naturally leaven by whisked egg whites for finer texture.

The size of pandan leaves vary, thus measure in gram is more accurate. 80 g of water is about 80 ml, 70 g of pandan juice is about 70 ml.

You may try.

Boleh.

我的是旧款的Panasonic 微波烘烤2合1的, 已经10多年了, 应该没有这个model了。

Try 3 times bantat 3times very up sad

For cotton sponge cake, you need to bake in water bath so that it is not too hot. If it is too hot, the cake will rise too fast and too high, it will collapse when out of oven.

Your batter might be not well mixed, fold gently until no green strips visible.

I have the same problem the bottom layer looks like not cook.

If you did not beat the egg whites till firm enough, part of the egg yolk batter will sink to the bottom

For round pan you will need a 9-inch one, 9“ round pan is equivalent to 8" square pan. If you use 8” inch round pan, then reduce the ingredients, use only 75%.

MyKitchen101en thank you!! Loving ur recipe making for whole family to the in laws too!! 😍😍

If your cake does shrink when out of oven, then your oven temperature is too hot. Try reducing baking temperature to 140°C. The cake should rise slowly during baking to prevent it from over-rising then collapsing when out of oven. Yes, if the mould doesn’t have joining parts, just put a piece of cloth in the water at the bottom of the baking pan with batter to replace the kitchen towels. Is your cake completely cooked? Do you cool your cake in the pan?

@@MyKitchen101en I already lowered the temp to 140 degree and it's cooked- tested with skewer.I remove the baking sheet and cool the cake on the wire rack as soon it's out from the oven.

How long have you baked the cake? I used to bake for 1 hr 30 minutes, the skewer is clean but when I cut the bottom part still have some wet part, it is not raw batter, but not completely cooked, therefor I increase baking time to 1 hr 50 mins.

你烤多久呢? 我烤1小时50分钟, 如果烤不够久, 里面虽然熟但是会有湿湿的部分。

@@MyKitchen101en 我也是烤1小时50分钟

你可以试试加长时间15分钟看看有没有改善, 不同烤炉不一样。

大约3吋。

MyKitchen101en 謝謝你的回覆。

Haven't heard about pandan powder, you may try.

May be your oven is too hot. Try reducing baking temperature to 140°C. The cake should rise very slowly during baking to prevent it from over-rising then collapsing when out of oven.

Thank for the reply..i still have another question😅... 1. While in the oven my cake do rise slowly but when i take my cake out from the oven it shrink almost half of its height...do you think its due to under bake ? I bake 150'c for 1 hour 20 min 2. Should i let the cake cool down completely before i remove it from pan? Thanks in advanced and sorry for too many question.

This recipe? or others' recipe? Then it might be due to your meringue, your meringue might not well beaten. Drop the baking pan from onto countertop to minimise shrinkage once removing from oven, then you can unmould immediately. You may refer Step 5 in the recipe regarding the meringue: mykitchen101en.com/pandan-cotton-sponge-cake-as-soft-as-cotton/

Thanks for the reply ..i really appriciate it...i will make this again 2morrow. Btw , should i put this cake in refrigerator after it cooling down? Or we can leave it in room temperature until next day?

Haven't tried with this size yet, not sure how long. You may try for 1 hour first.

You may try. Cream tartar/lemon juice helps to stabilize the meringue, preventing it from deflating fast.

Should be ok.

Haven't tried steaming, not sure how is the result.

You may replace with 1 tsp of lemon juice.

Do you open the oven during baking?

@@MyKitchen101en yes cuz i smell like burning, and i saw water is dried up.

You may try.

If your cake does shrink when out of oven, then your oven temperature is too hot. Try reducing baking temperature to 140°C or 130°C. The cake should rise slowly during baking to prevent it from over-rising then collapsing when out of oven.

试试用一半的分量。

For cotton sponge cake, the oven temperature is crucial, since each oven works differently, the suggested temperature and time are just for reference, you may adjust the temperature according to your own oven. You need to bake it with water bath. If your cake does shrink when out of oven, then your oven temperature is too hot. Try reducing baking temperature to 140°C. The cake should rise slowly during baking to prevent it from over-rising then collapsing when out of oven. I have another oven which is hotter, I had to reduce to 130°C. Baking cotton sponge cake with very hot oven is more tricky and have to keep making adjustment and the result is still not very good.

@@MyKitchen101en thank you I will retry

Haven't tried steaming.

You may try 1.25 times, you may need to bake longer.

热风对流的。

How long have you baked? Details and recipe at: mykitchen101en.com/pandan-cotton-sponge-cake-as-soft-as-cotton/

You can use 22 cm for round tin

You may use 9" round pan.

I tried the pandan cotton sponge cake again using 9”round tin. All fine except centre of the cake sunk a bit. Not sure why?

Is it completely cooked through? If your cake does shrink when out of oven, then your oven temperature is too hot. Try reducing baking temperature to 140°C. The cake should rise slowly during baking to prevent it from over-rising then collapsing when out of oven.

I use speed 1 for my hand mixer. If you mixer is too slow for speed 1, you may use speed 2.

This recipe uses thick coconut milk, not coconut oil.

Not sure, haven't tried.

Use 75% of ingredients.

Some moulds have joining parts at the bottom that water may seep in, thus you need to line the outside of the baking pan with a thick layer of paper kitchen towels and wrap with 2 layers of aluminium foil. The paper kitchen towels can absorb any water accidentally seeps in. It can also prevent the baking pan with batter from contacting with the larger pan, so that it is not too hot. You don’t have to wrap with foil if the mould doesn’t have joining parts, just put a piece of cloth at the bottom of the baking pan with batter to replace the kitchen towels.

Do you have a baker's percentage for this recipe?

Song?

Kiss the Sky.

@@MyKitchen101en Thanks! sorry for spam .

Boleh ganti dengan 1 tsp lemon juice.
