Have always wanted to try this combination, and I finally did it! The taste is heavenly, I had 2 big slices for breakfast!

Amended from this recipe.

5 egg yolks

1 whole egg

1/4 tsp salt

90g plain flour

(B)

5egg whites

100g castor sugar

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

(C)

50g gula melaka

1 tbsp hot water

1tsp pandan extract

Method

Preheat oven at 150C
Lined the bottom of a 8" round tin, and prepare the necessaries for waterbath baking method.
Chop gula melaka into small pieces and dissolved with 1 tbsp hot water. Then pour the mixture through a sieve, so as to ensure you get a smooth mixture. Set aside.
For (A):
Beat egg yolks, whole egg, salt, oil & milk with hand whisk, until fluffy.
Sieve in flour then mix it up until well combined.
For (B):

Using a hand whisk, mix 1/3 of (B) mixture at a time, into mixture (A).
Switch to a spatula to lift batter from bottom to fold. Be sure the mixture is well combined & smooth.
Spilt batter into 2 portions.

Spoon 4 tbsp of the pandan batter to the tin, pouring from the center. Then add another 3tbsp of gula melaka batter, also from the center. Repeat steps under batter is used up.
Then tap the tin on the table top few times to release air bubbles.
Put the baking pan into another larger pan, then fill the latter up with hot water (2/3 of the tin with batter).
Send to bake at 150C for 70min.
Once baked, remove from oven and invert the cake immediately on a cooling rack to cool. If you want a soft surface, invert on a non stick frying pan.
