Edit
The cake business office of pandan kaya cake is quite straightforward. It's a sponge cake made alongside the separated egg method. If y'all follow the recipe together with y'all know how to whisk egg whites to theater peak stage, your cake will be fluffy, moist together with fragrant.
If y'all don't know what the hell theater peak phase is together with y'all demand instructions on how to follow instructions, delight refer to my posts, Cake FAQ together with Cake Dos together with Don'ts.
The kaya business office of pandan kaya cake is made alongside pandan juice, every bit good every bit pandan glue to boost the colour. There's kokosnoot milk every bit well, pandan's best friend. The 2 combined would brand (almost) anything sweetness sense of savor good.
Turning pandan leaves into pulp is piece of cake when y'all purpose a nutrient processor or blender instead of mortar together with pestle.
How to squash the hell outta pulverized pandan leaves, together with hence that y'all teach every drib of juice possible?
The difficult way: alongside your bare hands. The piece of cake way: alongside a white patato ricer. (You know Archimedes' Law of the Lever . . . don't you?)
Besides kokosnoot milk together with pandan juice, there's also butter inwards cake kaya.
The butter hides the floury sense of savor of hun kwee flour.
Unlike its cousin that's spread on bread, cake kaya is made without eggs. Bread kaya is laid alongside eggs but cake kaya is laid alongside hun kwee flour (a starch made from mung beans) together with agar-agar powder.
Pandan kaya cake may live on assembled upside down. IOW, y'all start alongside a layer of kaya together with destination alongside a layer of cake on top. After the kaya is set, the cake is flipped correct agency up.
I prefer to get together my cake correct agency up, starting alongside a layer of cake together with finishing alongside a layer of kaya.
If y'all produce it my way, brand certain the kaya isn't every bit good sparse when y'all pour it on the commencement cake layer. If it's watery, it'll seep nether the cake. What's the correct consistency? Kind of similar thick but pourable cream.
Kaya that's every bit good thick is also problematic. If it's non sparse plenty to menstruation smoothly, the layers formed won't live on even.
How produce y'all halt the kaya from becoming every bit good thick?
1) Measure the ingredients accurately. 2) Don't overcook the kaya. 3) Have your cake layers together with pan (or cake ring) laid upwards earlier cooking the kaya.
If y'all expect at the written recipe below, you'll abide by it's rather long. That's because describing the procedure inwards especial requires a lot of words. Well, 1,000 words = 1 picture, right? If y'all sentry the video, the recipe doesn't expect every bit good daunting. In fact, if y'all bask baking, it looks just similar the form of matter you'd desire to produce this weekend.
Repeat later me: "Baking is fun, non work! Baking is fun, non work! Baking is . . ."
