Steamed Pandan Cake

I decided to prepare some cupcakes for my short trip tomorrow. So I made Steamed Caramel cake aka Nona Manis, and Steamed Pandan Cake. So yup, it's green and brown!!! Colours of nature. Hehe.

They are soft and fluffy. The pandan ones remind me of the custard layer for Kuih Putri Salat. The recipe is almost the same, so I guess that's why.

I shared the recipes for Nona Manis previously. The recipe for the Steamed Pandan Cake is similar to the Nona Manis, except for the syrup preparation part.

Steamed Caramel Cake

Just the way I like it!!!

Ingredients:
150 g sugar
100 ml hot water
70 g butter
75 ml evaporated milk
1 egg, beaten
150 g plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbs pandan paste
pinch of salt

Method:

• Place the 150g of sugar and hot water in a saucepan and heat gently until sugar dissolves, followed by butter.
  
• Boil mixture for a few minutes until completely melted and a syrup is obtained. Allow mixture to cool and pour it out into a measuring cup (you need 160 to 170 ml)
• Add the milk, beaten egg and pandan paster to the cooled mixture and stir well to combine.
• Sift the flour and bicarbonate and salt into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the liquid. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or balloon whisk for a smooth batter.
• Fill small muffin cups three-quarters full of batter and steam for 20 to 25 minutes.
