Vietnamese Chewy Pandan Honeycomb Cake Recipe – Bánh Bò Nướng Lá Dứa – FOOD is Four Letter Word (2024)

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 1 hour

Serves: 10

Method

• 1)

  Pre-heat your oven to 450°F. Crack 3 Large Eggs into a bowl, gently break the yolks with a whisk and add ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar – stir gently clockwise with a whisk until the eggs look combined. **Do not beat the eggs, you want to avoid creating bubbles – if you whisk the eggs vigorously you’ll end up with a dense cake. Set the bowl aside

• 2)

  In a separate bowl, add 1 Cup Tapioca Starch, 2 Tablespoons Rice Flour, 2 Teaspoons Double Acting Baking Powder – stir very well with a whisk. Add ¾ Cup Coconut Milk, 3 Tablespoons melted Butter, 1 Teaspoon Pandan Paste, 1 Teaspoon Coconut Extract and whisk very well until it looks smooth and there are no lumps. Add in the egg mixture and stir gently clockwise with a silicone spatula until it looks smooth and combined.

• 3)

  Generously spray your bundt pan with baking spray or coat well with oil. Pour the batter into the pan and place onto the middle rack of your pre-heated oven. Turn the temp down to 350°F and bake for 45-50 Minutes – a skewer inserted should come out with only a few crumbs.

• 4)

  Immediately flip the bundt pan over to cool on a a rack. The cake may release from the pan on it’s own – if it doesn’t, wait until the pan is cool, and use a small spatula or butter knife to loosen it from the pan. Slice & Enjoy!

  *You can double the recipe to cook in a larger 10 Cup Bundt Pan, follow the same steps, baking time will be a little longer, 80-90 Minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

     Hi Hanh, no oat milk won’t
     work for Vietnamese yogurt because it won’t set like standard milk, it will stay liquid. Can he have coconut milk? If so, you can try this recipe:

     Hi Dave, I’ve never tried freezing one of these, but I don’t see why you couldn’t freeze it. Just wrap it well

  Do you heat the baking dish in the oven while it’s preheating for the pandan honeycomb cake?
