In every Chinatown throughout the world you will find bakeries with windows full of baked goods made with Pandan leaf extract - easily spotted by their exuberant green colour. The Pandan tree is a tropical plant and its leaves are used throughout Southeast Asia to add a sweet taste and aroma to dishes. This cake, popular in Singapore, tastes great and its vibrant green colour is from Pandan juice. If you can’t get the juice, just use food colouring.
