Bailey's Chiffon Cake by Cheryl Lam

I used my pandan cake recipe below except that instead of 100ml coconut milk/ cream, I used 100ml Bailey's Irish Cream. But I am not sure why it didn't rise as much as my PCC. Next time I shall reduce the Bailey's to 80ml...... The coconut cream and Bailey's cream have different densities, perhaps? I wonder if I should increase the oil too?
Still, the BCC is fluffy and oh so fragrant. It is an excellent way to imbibe alcohol without fear of getting drunk! 😁

Bailey's chiffon
