5. 180grams multipurpose flour
6. 2tsp baking powder

10. 100cc Vegetable oil
11. 150cccoconut milk + 02tsp pandan pasta

2. Mix no.5,6,7....sift all together and put aside.
3. In a seperate bowl (bigger one) mix no.8,9,10,11 with a whisk until well combined then pour in the flour mixture per-batch, mix all well. Set the batter aside.
4. In a separate bowl, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 150 grams of sugar and beat until almost stiff peaks form. With a large rubber spatula or wire whisk, gently fold the egg whites into the batter just until blended (being careful not to deflate the batter). 
5. Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (When lightly pressed, the cake will spring back). Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven invert (turn upside down) the pan and place on a flat bottom cup (turned upside down) so it is suspended over the counter (see picture below). Let the cake cool completely  (about 1 1/2 hours).
