Pandan Sponge Cupcakes

Pandan Sponge Cupcakes


Adapted from Qi Qi in the house

Ingredients:

4 eggs (66g each), room temperature
90g caster sugar
50g corn oil (I used rice bran oil)
30g pandan juice
10g coconut milk
a few drops of pandan paste - optional
100g plain flour (sifted twice)


  • Preheat oven to 120 deg C.
  • Put the eggs and sugar in a metal bowl over a saucepan of hot water and whisk with an electric mixer (on medium-high speed) until sugar dissolves.  Remove bowl from the saucepan.  Whisk until mixture triples in volume and is thick enough to hold a trail.  Reduce to low speed and whisk for another minute. Then whisk in pandan juice and coconut milk.
  • Using a balloon whisk, gently fold in the flour in 3 or 4 batches.
  • Gradually pour the oil around the edge of the mixing bowl and mix well.  
  • Spoon the mixture into the patty cases to 90% full.
  • Bake in a preheated oven  for about 20 - 25 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  1. Hi Veronica
    Looking at your spongy soft cupcakes, Im imagining the pandan fragrant smell at the same time. Your cupcakes looks so well good in this green colour. Seriously I love it.

    1. Hi Mel, wish I could share these little cupcakes with you over a cup of coffee. Although I used pandan juice, I find that the colour is not bright enough so I added a few drops of the artificial pandan paste.

    1. Hi Adek, thanks for bringing to my attention the omission of liquid in the recipe. I've made amendment to it - add in liquid before flour.

    2. Do I have to whisk the liquid as well?
