班兰蛋奶酥海面蛋糕 Pandan Souffle Sponge Cake

Last week I bought a bunch of purple colored pandan leaves from the local wet market hoping to extract out purple colored pandan juice.

签个星期我在湿巴刹购买到一串紫色的班兰叶，以为可以取出紫色班兰汁。

To my disappointment, the extracted pandan juice only gave a darker greenish brown hue instead of the color I hoped for.  Hence I ended up with a 2 tone of green colored cake.

结果搅拌出来得到的是深褐绿色的班兰液汁，大大失望。最终只有拿来做个两种色调的绿色蛋糕。

This is a lovely cake recipe adapted from Jeannie's blog which I highly recommend you to check out her site.
