Pandan cake is a light, fluffy or sponge cake[1] of Indonesian and Malaysian origins with Dutch influence flavoured with the juice of Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves.[2][3] The cakes are light green in tone[4] due to the chlorophyll in the leaf juice. It also sometimes contains green food colouring to further enhance its colour. The cakes are sometimes not made with the leaf juice but instead simply flavoured with Pandanus extract, in which case colouring is added if a green colour is desired.[5]
It is popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and China. It is also known as pandan chiffon.
