Pandan Cupcakes Recipe

Hey, sweet lovers! Today I am here with a delicious and beautiful cupcake recipe. These pandan chiffon cupcakes are a terrific way to enjoy the delicate and airy texture of chiffon cakes. I slightly modified my pandan chiffon cake recipe. I am aware that those of you who live outside of Asia don’t always have access to pandan leaves.

For simplicity and speed, I’ve decided to use pandan extract in this dish rather than pandan juice. I simply use standard muffin tins with paper liners. These cakes are easy to make. You should definitely try this recipe.

I will tell you below how you can make these super fluffy pandan cakes at home. So scroll down and be with me till the end.
