Pandan Cotton Cake

I was away for a week for an overseas trip, and was suffering from bad baking withdrawal symptom!   After resting for a day, to recover my energy from the long haul flight, I finally got my hands down to this lovely green monster J

I’ve always love such cotton cakes, comparing to the conventional cakes with crumbs: the melt-in-your-mouth texture is just heaven!

  

Recipe adapted & modified from one of the member in Baking’s Corner, but I can’t remembered who!
