Having met people from all walks of life, I have quite a pool of people I know who are vegetarians / vegans. Unfortunately, there are not many eggless or vegetarian-friendly recipes out there. In this post, I am glad to share my development of an Eggless Pandan Cake recipe that is just as moist and fluffy as the one with eggs!

Nonetheless, for those who prefers your the egg version of this Eggless Pandan Cake recipe, you can take reference from the original butter cake recipe (link). In doing so, simply add 1 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of Pandan Extract to your cake and you will be good to go. Should you want to go beyond, substitute half that milk for coconut milk.

For my Eggless Pandan Cake recipe, I used milk alternatives and substitutes in order to replace the eggs. In addition, yogurt is a really good choice to have here.

However, do remember the same old techniques such as ensuring the ingredients used are at room temperature to minimize holes in your cake. Another pointer to take note is that its unlikely for your batter to clump. Should it clump, the ingredients are likely to be too cold. While adding flour will salvage the situation, the end texture might be affected.

Without further ado, the recipe for this Eggless Pandan Cake!
