Directions/做法

IMG_8272– Preheat oven to 180°C. Line muffin pan with cupcake liner or, if using cupcake paper cups, place cups onto a baking pan
烤箱预热至180摄氏度。麦芬烤盘铺上纸拖

  • Combine flour & baking power. Sift & set aside
    面粉和泡打粉混合、过筛待用

  • Combine coconut milk, water, pandan juice & colouring. Mix & set aside
    椰浆、水和绿色素混合

  • In a large bowl, on medium speed of an electric mixer, combine butter, vanilla & salt. Cream until smooth
    容器中以中速将黄油、香草精和盐搅拌均匀

  • Add sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes
    加入糖,打发,约3分钟

  • Add in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
    鸡蛋一颗一颗加入,每加入一颗拌匀后再加入下一颗

  • Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the coconut milk mixture. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated, taking care not to over beat
    粉类食材分3次、和椰浆以交替方式加入。每次加入食材拌匀后,才加入下一份食材。千万不可过度搅拌

  • Fill paper cups or muffin pan with batter, 3/4 full and bake in middle rack of oven for 20 to 25 mins. cool cakes completely
    面糊倒入纸拖至7分满。送入烤箱中层烤20 至 25分钟。取出后待冷却在裱上奶油霜

  • Prepare buttercream: first, prepare gula melaka syrup. combine water, gula Melaka & pandan leaves in a heavy-based saucepan over medium low heat. Stir until all the sugar has melted
    准备奶油霜:先将水、椰糖和班兰叶以中小火加热至糖完全融化为止。中间不停搅拌

  • Continue heating up the syrup & let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, strain & leave aside to cool completely to room temperature The syrup will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, thin out with a little bit of water before using
    待椰糖浆稍微收干后,约 3至4分钟,离火过筛。让其完全冷却。冷却后的椰糖浆会变得浓稠,所以使用前需加点水,调稀后再用

  • Combine egg whites, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk frequently, keeping it over the heat, until the mixture reaches about 70°C and the sugar has dissolved (rub some between your fingers – if it feels grainy, it hasn’t dissolved)
    蛋白、糖和盐隔水加热,以打蛋器不停搅拌直到白糖完全融化,而蛋白液达到约70摄氏度温度。您可将蛋白液用手指触捏。如感觉有点颗粒,就意味着糖还未完全融化

  • Transfer the mixture to a mixer and beat on medium-high for about 5 minutes, until stiff peaks have formed and the mixture has cooled to room temperature.Turn down the speed to medium and start adding small chunks of butter, checking that it has incorporated before adding more. Keep beating until the mixture comes together, this will take about 5 minutes.With the mixer running, add in the gula melaka syrup, one teaspoon at a time, beating until well combined between each addition. You need not use all the gula Melaka syrup. Just add enough
    将蛋白液倒入容器,以中高速打发 5分钟直到硬性状而蛋白液也回温至室温。转换至中速继续打发,慢慢加入切成小丁的黄油。每加入一次黄油,拌匀后再加入下一份的黄油。将蛋白霜和黄油打发、混合后(约5分钟),椰糖浆以一小匙一小匙加入。拌匀。注: 椰糖浆无需全部加入,适量即可
