Evergreen Layer Cake

Glad to have cookpad. Keeping this cake recipe here for future reference 😊 This type of layered cake is popular in Malaysia and other neighbouring countries too. Tons of layered cake recipes online with various types, flavors and versions. This type of cake tastes very rich, moist, dense and creamy (some layered cakes use cheese and ice cream powder). They store well and can even last for few months.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Gather & measure all ingredients. A must when doing this type of cake so you won't forget or miss any ingredients. See pic below for reference (ingredients)

* Step 2

Add eggs, one at a time and whisk again until fluffy.

* Step 3

Next, add condensed milk, kaya, and pandan paste and continue to whisk until fluffy.

* Step 4

Using a much slower speed of your electric mixer, add dried ingredients (the flour mixture), in small batches, and mix until just mixed. Remove the mixer. Gently fold this batter using small spatula or anything similar, keep folding until you have a smooth batter.

* Step 5

Prep your baking pan. Use 8"×8"×3". Layer the bottom of baking pan with baking paper. Grease all sides with a thin layer of butter then sprinkle some flour around the greased sides. Remove or shake off excess flour from the pan.

* Step 6

Preheat oven to 170°C. Use only the upper heat of the oven.

* Step 7

Next, add 7 tbsp of the cake batter into the pan. Smooth and level the batter evenly. Gently tap the whole baking pan on a hard surface. This is to ensure the batter is level.

* Step 8

Bake for 7 minutes. Then remove from the oven. Gently press the top layer of baked cake with anything flat. We use the back of wide spatula since we don't have the right tool for this task (yet 😁). Repeat the same process in step #7. Bake and do the same until the end.
