Line the bottom of the oval cake pan (21x10x5 cm high) with parchment paper. But do not grease the pan..
Cut pandan leaves into short strips. Place them into a blender along with the water. Process until all of the leaves are broken down..
Strain the mixture and press out all of the juice. Discard the solid chunks. Refrigerate the juice overnight (or up to 5 days). The juice will separate into 2 layers: clearer liquid on its top and concentrated extract on its bottom..
On the next day, slowly pour out and discard the clear liquid. Add milk into the concentrated extract and stir well. Set aside..
Heat the oil to approximately 158°F (70°C). Remove from heat and quickly whisk the cake flour in..
Mix in the pandan mixture. Then add egg yolks and mix until the batter is smooth and well-combined. Set aside..
Beat egg white until frothy with an electric mixer running at high speed..
Switch to low speed and gradually add sugar as you mix. After the entire sugar is mixed in, switch to high speed and beat until it almost reaches a stiff peak stage..
Mix in 1/3 of beaten egg white into the cake batter using a spatula or a hand whisk. Then add another 1/3 of egg white. From here on, we want to gently combine the mixture. Be careful not to deflate the batter. The air inside this fluffy meringue is the key component of a fluffy cake. Mix just until no white streaks are seen..
Add the remaining egg white. Mix again just until combined..
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Swirl the batter with a wooden stick to remove any big bubbles inside. Tap the pan twice onto the counter to further remove air bubbles. Place the pan inside another larger pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the height of cake batter..
Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 55-65 minutes. Once baked, immediately remove from the water bath and drop the cake pan 2 times onto the counter. Let it cool for 5 minutes or until the cake comes away from the pan. Then invert the cake pan to unmold the cake. Let cool completely..

I had halved the original recipe and replaced milk with coconut milk. For my oven grilling mode can't adjust it temperature therefore the top was over browned, I should say burnt. The texture of this cake is as fine and soft as Ogura cake. Thumbs up :) Super cottony pandan cake infused with Ayam brand coconut milk and organic coconut oil with au natural fresh pandan extract! Lots of air pockets in the crumbs and the surface wrinkle up after cooling down.
