A STRIKING ASIAN CAKE. THE PERFECT DESSERT

If you’ve ever contemplated the what’s for dessert issue that can arise in the home cook’s life, we’ve got the perfect rice cooker cake to shake things up!

Oh, did we mention that it’s green!?

But this fluffy and airy dessert is not only cool to look at, it’s sweetness is offset by the flavor and color of pandan leaves.

WHAT IS PANDAN?

Pandan is a tropical plant with bright green fan-shaped leaves. And those leaves are widely used in many Southeast Asian cuisines. Overall, the pandan flavor could be described as nutty, almost vanilla with botanical undertones. 

And, aside from being used to give this cake a color and flavor boost, pandan is used as a flavor enhancer for the coconut rice used in Malaysia’s delicious national dish, nasi lemak.

The leaves are typically sold frozen at many Asian grocery stores – and bright green pandan extracts can sometimes be found, mixed with additional food coloring.

In short: pandan is delicious – and is soooo good in this easy to make cake!
