Pandan Moist Sponge Cake With Salted Gula Melaka Buttercream Frosting 椰糖奶油霜班兰相思蛋糕

Super soft and moist Pandan Ogura Cake made using freshly extracted Pandan juice and coconut milk, this cake is the perfect match with salted Gula Melaka Buttercream. 

This combination isn't something new to me, this cake is quite popular in Singapore - dine in/ take away cafe. The picture below was a S$7 per slice Pandan Gula Melaka cake that I ordered from a cafe few months back which I thought the price is quite reasonable for the amount of time and effort required to prepare this cake. Well, you know there were times that I just want to satisfy my crave with that one slice, not a whole cake, but of course if you have a big family, I would advise you to bake this at home ... ;)

I love this cake because it's not too sweet. The Gula Melaka Buttercream was slightly salted and that gives a nice contrast to the cake.
