To make pandan juice:
Chop pandan leaves into chunks, pop in a food processor and add about 1½  tablespoons of water. Process to small pieces. Place pandan leaves in a muslin bag and squeeze out the juice. You need about 2 tablespoons of it to make this cake. If you don’t have a muslin bag, just use your clean hand to squeeze out the juice.
