Method

Step	Instructions
1	Heat your steamer and grease the cake pan with shortening or butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2	In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and cake emulsifier on low speed, increasing to high, until thick and pale, forming soft peaks. This whipping process is essential for the cake’s fluffiness.
3	Gently add the coconut milk to the whipped eggs and mix briefly until blended.
4	Slowly sift in the flour, vanilla powder, and baking powder. Fold or mix on low speed just until combined, ensuring not to deflate the batter.
5	Add the pandan paste and vegetable oil. Stir gently but thoroughly until the batter is evenly green and smooth.
6	Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap lightly to release trapped air bubbles.
7	Steam the cake on medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the steamer lid during cooking.
8	Remove the cake and let it cool slightly before flipping out of the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
9	Optionally, decorate the cake with buttercream or your favorite toppings for added flavor and presentation.
