Christmas Tree Pandan Butter Cake 圣诞树班兰牛油蛋糕

 Trying hard but still not able to make it to post all my Christmas theme project before Christmas day :(. 
This Christmas Tree cake used the recipe of pandan butter cake which modified from Mrs Ngsk butter cake, my top favourite of butter cake. Just spend a little effort and here are the cakes that full with festive feels.

Ingredients : for 8"x 3" x 3.5"

For Cake :

115g salted hard butter
100g eggs, no shell (2 large eggs)
25g + 30g sugar
90g self raising flour, sifted 

10g coconut cream powder

15g coconut milk

20g homemade pandan extract

 
Method :
1. Preheat oven at 180C. Line the base and grease the sides (greasing helps the cake’s sides to rise)
2. Separate the eggs, and place the whites into a medium sized bowl. Beat egg whites until soft peaks, gradually add 25g sugar and and beat until stiff. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and 30g sugar until pale and fluffy. Put in egg yolks one by one and beat well after each addition.
4. Put in half the flour and mix on low speed until incorporated. Put in pandan extract + coconut milk in 2 additions and mix until well incorporated. Mix in balance of flour.
5. Put half the egg whites in and mix on low speed. Pour the balance of egg whites in and FOLD.
6. Pour batter into pan and level. Bake for about 25 to 30 mins or skewer come out clean.

7. Cool the cake at wire rack.

To make a Christmas, simple trim the butter cake into triangle.

Melt some chocolate with milk and make into chocolate ganache, dip the Redondo cream waffer in the chocolate ganache and insert into the trimmed pandan butter cake to make it into tree trunk.

Scoop some chocolate ganache into pipping bag, cut a small hole and drizzle on the trimmed pandan butter cake.

Drizzle some colorful hundreds and thousands or colorful chocolate rice on the cakes.

These are some photos on the pandan butter before decorated.
