Pandan Chiffon Christmas Trees (makes 9)😋 

2 egg yolks 

16g caster sugar 

26g vegetable oil 

28g fresh/coconut milk 

65g cake flour, sifted 

1 tsp pandan paste 

½ tsp vanilla extract 

3 egg whites 

30g caster sugar 

¼ tsp cream of tartar 

Assembly 

Melted marshmallow 

Sprinkles 

1. Preheat oven to 140°C. Double wrap a baking tray with aluminum foil, make small holes and insert conical cups. 

2. Whisk egg yolks with sugar. Add oil, milk and vanilla extract and whisk well. Whisk in cake flour and mix until no lumps. 

3. Add pandan paste to egg yolk batter. This makes all green trees. 

Optional: For white stripes, transfer 30g egg yolk batter to a new bowl for plain batter, and mix pandan paste to remaining batter. 

4. Prepare meringue: whisk egg whites with cream of tartar till foamy. Add in caster sugar in 3 additions and whisk till firm peaks. 

5. Gently fold meringue into the egg yolk batter. 

Optional: For white stripes, transfer 30g meringue to plain egg yolk batter and remaining meringue to green egg yolk better. Fold meringue into respective egg yolk batters. 

6. Fill each paper cone till 1.5-cm from brim. 

Optional: Pipe green and white layers till 1.5-cm from brim. 

7. Bake at 140°C for 35 mins or till bamboo skewer inserted into middle comes out dry. 

8. Unmold cakes when fully cool and trim off the base to level. 

9. Melt marshmallows with a sprinkle of water. Stick on sprinkles and star sprinkle using melted marshmallows. 

Keep in airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy! 🩷🥰
