Ingredients:
For the cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon pandan extract
For the pandan syrup:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pandan extract
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the cake batter
1. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Slowly pour in the milk and pandan extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 2: Bake the cake

2. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Make the pandan syrup
1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and pandan extract.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the cake
1. Using a toothpick, poke holes all over the surface of the cooled cake.
2. Slowly pour the pandan syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
3. Let the cake sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
