Behind the scenes of the kitchen chaos and recipe Behind the scenes of the kitchen chaos and recipe testing it takes to release recipes into the world. It’s honestly a lot of work, but it’s rewarding. I’ve been doing this for a while now and still enjoy the learning process, as food is always changing and evolving. 

I spent half of last year working on my cookbook proposal, from researching to recipe testing, taking photos, and writing A LOT. I mean A LOT… my eyes and back almost gave out 😅 Then came creating and designing which I had so much fun with. The process was pretty insane since I really wanted it to be as true and authentic as possible. I made it a goal to finish it early this year, and I’m proud to say I finally completed it. I’m anxiously excited and hopeful. Like mom says, if you really want it, you gotta make it happen Cindy 🙌 So here we go 💛
PANDAN HONEYCOMB CAKE (Banh bo nuong) Welcome ba PANDAN HONEYCOMB CAKE (Banh bo nuong) 

Welcome back to an updated Pandan Honeycomb Cake recipe! This honeycomb cake also known in Vietnamese as Bánh Bò Nướng is well known for its unique honeycomb like crumb. The texture is spongy yet soft on the inside, with a chewy and slightly crispy exterior. It’s sweet, coconutty, and has a subtle hint of pandan flavor, making it a truly unique but pleasant dessert.

I wanted to update you all on how to make this cake with success. It’s pretty much the same recipe as my previous one but with a slight adjustment to the directions and baking. Many of you have sent me a lot of messages about why your cake didn’t turn out so I hope these instructions will help you out. This cake is simple in ingredients but it can be quite technical. If the eggs are over whipped, the cake will fall after baking. Use the wrong pan and you will see less honeycomb action. If the baking powder is not active, you will not have the honeycomb structure. Oven temp also matters. If you use too much flour, the cake will be dry. If you bake it too long, the cake will be dry. There are lots of ways this cake can go wrong. I have worked on this recipe numerous times and finally found the right portions to make it to the way I like it. A lot of recipes I found were too dry. My recipe is just the right tenderness and it has not failed me yet. Hopefully you can try out this recipe and get the results you want. 

Note: This cake is also best eaten at room temperature so it doesn’t taste so eggy! So let it cool before you enjoy it! 

The RECIPE is available on my website along with the full video on my channel. Link in my bio to check it out! Happy baking! 🙂

#honeycombcake #pandan #Banhbonuong
Hello February 💖 I’ve been testing out different Hello February 💖

I’ve been testing out different pans for these delicious Vietnamese pandan honeycomb cakes (Banh bo nuong) to see what the end results of honeycomb crumb would look like. I tested out a coated nonstick pan using @wiltoncakes heart shaped one and it came out okay. It will work, but I found that the honeycomb structure deflates a bit (especially at the top of the cake) because it can’t be flipped upside down to rest since the cake will slip out. My suggestion for any coated or nonstick cake pan (like the nonstick Bundt cake pan) is to leave the cake in the oven once it’s done baking, with the oven off and the door closed for at least 20 minutes before removing it to cool completely. 

Want to know which pan I like to use!? All the information is available on my website along with the recipe. FULL VIDEO on this updated honeycomb cake is also live on my channel. Link in my bio!
