2 Layer Pandan Cake

This is a recipe from one of my student's mum. She's a fantastic baker. I know because I get lots of samples.... not complaining, well, maybe my waistline is.

PANDAN LAYER

400 ml coconut milk ( I used 2 packets of 200ml ready packed coconut milk )
50 ml pandan juice ( about 8-10 large pandan leaves blended with 1/2 cup water, measure out 50 ml, keep remainder )
300 ml light pandan juice ( add water to the remainder of above to make amount )
150 g sugar ( this can be reduced )
60 g cornflour
1 tbs instant jelly / agar agar powder
1/8 tsp salt
green coloring, optional

METHOD

Combine all of the above in a large pot and whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens into a starchy consistency.
Pour into a 9" X 9" deep tray. Leave aside while you make the cake layer.

100 g self raising flour

5 egg whites
4 tbs caster sugar
