Directions
1. Add pandan leaf powder into the milk, and mix to incorporate. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a medium bowl mix together wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula to incorporate.
2. Divide batter between prepared cake pans (3x 8“ square prepared pan) Tap gently against the counter to release air bubbles. Bake at 175c for 20-25 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove pan from the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Invert cakes onto a rack with parchment paper and cool completely. .
3. Whip butter in the stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment, on medium to high speed for about 2 minutes. Stop mixer and add the sifted powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until incorporated, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and then add in 1 tbsp of coconut cream (if you’re looking for thinner consistency, add more coconut cream) mix on high speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cake, slice and serve. Enjoy!
