Pandan Fudge Cake

"This is a really nice cake (its not CHOCOLATE FUDGE or anything like that!!!)...the fudge refers to the smooth pandan custard in the cake..enjoy. If you don't have Pandan paste, use pandan essence plus green coloring."

directions

  • For Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 320 farenheit. Grease and line a 8inch cake tin.
  • With electric mixer on high, whisk eggs, yolk, sugar and pandan paste for about 15 minutes till tripled in volume and silky in texture.
  • Fold in sifted flour VERY VERY gently! After its incorporated, fold in oil. Make sure the oil has been mixed thoroughly, and that it hasn't sunk to the bottom.
  • Pour batter into cake tin very gently.
  • Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven, cool in tin for 15 minutes, and turn over onto a cake rack to cool thoroughly.
  • For Filling:

  • While cake is cooling, make filling.
  • Combine the 1/2 litre water, sugar, agar powder and butter in a pan. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low.
  • Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine 150ml water, coconut milk, mung bean flour, pandan paste and coconut essence. Mix well and then add this mix into the heated mix on the stove top.
  • With a whisk, stir NON STOP until it thickens (make sure its well thickened or it wont set!). It should be a bit thicker than pastry cream. Remove from heat and cool for 5- 10 minutes but dont let it set!
  • Assembly:

  • Cut cake into 3 layers. Place one layer in a 9 INCH cake ring or 9 INCH springform pan (WITHOUT THE BASE!.
  • Top it with 1/2 of the filling, making sure the filling goes into the 1 inch space around the cake.
  • Continue stacking until all 3 cake layers are used. With the remaining 1/3 of the filling, pour it on the cake, letting it flow into the 1 inch space at the side. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Lift cake ring slowly, and dust the whole cake with dessicated coconut.

  1. When I saw your posting of this recipe, I saved it right away because I had been searching for such a recipe for the longest time. I used fresh medium creamy coconut milk, and a good quality mung bean flour. Actually, I have access to fresh pandan and green suji leaves ( for coloring ), but have no expertise and know how to sub them for the bottles essences. Maybe someone could tell me how to do it?? Anyway, the batter was plentiful, so be sure to use a deep cake tin. Also, because the instruction said to make sure the filling was thickened to a little thicker than pastry cream, I probably cooked it too long for after letting it cool for 5 minutes, it was not of a pourable consistency. Maybe next time I will either decrease the agar powder to 1 tsp only and / or use a little less grean bean flour. The cake was so fragrant, and the taste was really yummy. If only I had gotten the consistency right, this would have been a perfect cake. I did not cover the cake with the grated coconut because some of us here do not like them, so I just sprinkled them on whoever wants them on their slice. Thank you so much for posting.

Thanks for stopping by to look @ my profile :) I'll be 15 on the 11th of September 2006....Ive been using Zaar for quite a while now and I've made tons of friends so far...... I started cooking when I was umm....12 and a half and Ive been in love with it ever since...My first project was the classic batch of brownies. I used a pan that was too big and I got really really flat brownies.....For the frosting I used granulated sugar and had crunchy frosting haha..... Ive gotten much better since then! I tend to get discouraged very easily if something I make does not come out like it was expected to....I can even get depressed over it..... I have plans on going to Le Courdon Bleu Sydney in mid 2008 and completing the Grand Diploma there...... This is my cat Kiara. I found her in the backyard when I was 10, and I started feeding her toast and grape jelly. She's on a normal cat's diet now haha. <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/kiaraaaa.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> This is Pluto, and sadly he went missing just before Christmas.... <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/PlutO.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> The small pic is when I was 4, and the other is a recent pic :) <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/ff.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/tunasushi/meme.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> Lookin a bit mad...hehe
