Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together tapioca starch and rice flour until well combined.
~2 min - 2
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, coconut milk, water, pandan extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm (do not boil).
~10 min - 3
Gradually pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to ensure a smooth batter.
~5 min - 4
Divide the batter into two equal portions. Keep one portion as is, and whisk the pandan extract into the other portion to create the green layer batter.
~3 min - 5
Grease an 8-inch round pan with vegetable oil and line the bottom with parchment paper. Ensure your steamer is preheated and boiling.
~5 min - 6
Pour a thin layer of the plain batter into the preheated steamer. Steam for 5 minutes until set.
~5 min - 7
Carefully pour a thin layer of the green pandan batter over the steamed plain layer. Steam for another 5 minutes until set.
~5 min - 8
Continue layering the batters, alternating between plain and green, steaming each layer for 5 minutes until all batter is used. The final layer should be the green pandan batter.
~75 min - 9
Once the final layer is steamed, continue steaming for an additional 15-20 minutes to ensure the cake is fully cooked and set.
~20 min - 10
Remove the cake from the steamer and let it cool completely on a wire rack before unmolding and slicing.
~10 min
Tips
- Ensure your steamer is at a rolling boil before adding each layer of batter for even cooking.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from sticking and to achieve clean cuts.
