Ube Coconut Waffle-Mix Snack Cake
Turn Ube Waffle Mix into a soft midweek snack cake. The batter is baked in a square tin under a quick coconut topping, then cooled and cut into neat pieces.
How to make it
Ingredients
This recipe uses ube. Read what ube is.
- Butter or neutral oil, for greasing
- 300 g Pandoyo Ube Waffle Mix
- 2 large eggs
- 180 ml whole milk, plus extra if needed
- 75 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 g desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- A small pinch of fine salt
Method
Steps
- 01
Heat the oven to 180°C, or 160°C fan. Grease a 20 cm square cake tin and line the base and sides with baking paper, leaving enough paper above two sides to lift out the cake later.
- 02
Tip the Ube Waffle Mix into a large bowl. In a jug, whisk together the eggs, milk, 75 g melted butter and vanilla until evenly combined.
- 03
Pour the wet mixture into the waffle mix. Stir gently with a whisk or wooden spoon until no dry patches remain. Stop as soon as the batter is smooth. It should fall slowly from the spoon. If it is too stiff to spread, stir in another tablespoon of milk.
- 04
Scrape the batter into the prepared tin. Spread it into the corners and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
- 05
Combine the desiccated coconut, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter and salt in a small bowl. Rub together with your fingertips until the coconut is lightly coated, then scatter it evenly over the batter. Keep the topping in a loose layer rather than pressing it down.
- 06
Bake on the middle shelf. A typical bake takes 25 to 32 minutes. Check at 20 minutes and loosely cover the tin with foil if the coconut is already well browned. The cake is ready when the centre springs back lightly and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out without wet batter.
- 07
Leave the cake in the tin for 15 minutes. Lift it onto a wire rack using the baking paper, then allow it to cool before cutting. For tidy pieces, use a serrated knife and saw gently through the coconut crust.

Also from the kitchen
Iced Brown Sugar Pandan Tea Latte
Make one tall iced drink by combining Pandoyo Pandan Latte Mix with strong black tea, milk and brown sugar. A quick shake gives the latte a light froth while plenty of ice keeps it crisp.
Pandan Pineapple Oven Pancake
Make a light oven pancake with Pandoyo Pandan Waffle Mix, caramelised pineapple and coconut milk. Bake it in a hot frying pan, then finish with lime and toasted coconut.
Pandan Coconut Cookie Bars
Pandan coconut cookies, baked as a slab and cut into bars. One 400g bag of Pandoyo Pandan Cookie Mix. Desiccated coconut and brown sugar are extras, not in the bag. The dough is slightly sticky. Press it flat. Cut only when the slab is cool.
Pandan Coconut Milk Poke Cake
Bake Pandoyo Pandan Cake Mix in a tin, poke it while warm, and pour over coconut milk mixed with condensed milk. Chill until the crumb drinks the soak. This is not the bag cake as directed.
Pandan Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Bake Pandoyo Pandan Cookie Mix into even rounds, then sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies and freeze until firm. The mix is the cookie. The ice cream is from the freezer aisle.
Pandan Lime Drizzle Loaf
Bake the 400g bag of Pandoyo Pandan Cake Mix in a loaf tin with lime zest in the batter. While it is hot, spoon over a lime and coconut drizzle so the crust stays sharp and the crumb stays fragrant.
Ube Banana Crumb Loaf
Mash ripe bananas into Pandoyo Ube Cake Mix and bake it as a loaf. A quick brown sugar crumb goes on top. The bananas are from the fruit bowl. They are not in the bag.
Ube Cookie Crumble Sundae
Bake a tray from Pandoyo Ube Cookie Mix. Break some cookies into warm crumbs, leave others whole, and layer them with vanilla ice cream. The mix is the cookie. The ice cream is from the supermarket.
Ube Cream Cheese Swirl Traybake
Spread Pandoyo Ube Cake Mix in a tin, then ribbon through a cream cheese mixture and bake until the swirl sets. The mix is the crumb. The cream cheese is an extra you add, not something already in the bag.
Ube White Chocolate Skillet Cookie
Press Pandoyo Ube Cookie Mix into a skillet, fold through chopped white chocolate, and bake until the edges set and the middle stays soft. White chocolate is a serving extra. It is not in the mix.
Pandan Pear and Coconut Crumble Cake
Turn pandan waffle mix into a relaxed Sunday cake. Firm pears sit over a soft yoghurt batter, while a coconut crumble adds a crisp, buttery top.
Toasted Rice Iced Ube Latte
Toast jasmine rice in a dry pan, then steep it in milk to make a nutty base. Mix Pandoyo Ube Latte Mix with hot water, add the cooled rice milk and serve over plenty of ice.
Ube Coconut Crumble Traybake
Turn Pandoyo Ube Waffle Mix into a soft, lightly buttery traybake. The batter comes together in one bowl, while a quick brown sugar and coconut crumble adds a crisp top. Cut it into squares once cool and keep them covered for tomorrow.
Warm Pandan Ginger Latte
Make one large mug by steeping fresh ginger in milk, then whisking it with Pandoyo Pandan Latte Mix. Brown sugar adds a soft caramel note, while salt keeps the drink balanced.
Ube Basque burnt cheesecake
Ube powder goes into a Basque burnt cheesecake so the custard is violet under a black-brown top. You want the middle to wobble. Fridge it before you cut.
Pandan tres leches
Pandan powder goes into both the sponge and the three-milk soak. You leave it in the fridge overnight so the crumb drinks every drop. Not a mix baked as directed.
Dirty ube latte
Ube powder in cold milk, espresso dumped through ice. A dirty ube latte, not the latte mix stirred as the bag suggests.
Pandan chilli oil noodles
Pandan powder goes into a chilli oil you pour over noodles. Instant noodles are fine. The powder is the unexpected bit in a bowl people already film.
Ube flan that wobbles
Ube powder colours and flavours a classic flan. Burnt sugar in the tin, custard on top, water bath, then a flip. It should wobble.
Pandan powder crispy rice squares
Pandan powder for rice, as crispy squares. Two teaspoons of Pandoyo Pandan Leaf Powder go into the marshmallow after the pan comes off the heat. The green stays in the glue around puffed rice. This is not a pot of steamed rice, and it is not cake mix.
