I've extracted plenty of pandan juice to bake a pandan rice chiffon cake and this particular baked pandan cake which I've bookmarked for very long! I do not recall tasting this Malay kueh (cake) before therefore curious with the taste and texture. Actually my kids do not really fancy traditional kueh, if have a choice they would rather choose a slice of cream/ butter cake :D I was prepared to stuff myself with this 7" size kueh bakar pandan hahaha...But surprisingly the kids, even my hubby loved this rich coconut pandan flavoured kueh!
The top don't look really appealing as I almost over grilled it. The top toasted sesame layer gives a nice crunch and compliments the rich pandan custard texture. Thumbs up!
