Steps:
- Place a metal steamer basket in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot (about 12" diameter) and pour in water to come 3"-5" up sides of pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat as needed to maintain a simmer. (Alternatively, you can use a pot with a large bamboo steamer set on top.) Whisk ¾ cup (100 g) Thai or Vietnamese nonglutinous rice flour, ¾ cup (90 g) bleached cake flour, and ¾ cup (85 g) Thai or Vietnamese tapioca starch or tapioca flour in a large bowl to combine.
- Heat 2 fresh or frozen pandan leaves (if using), 1 cup (200 g) sugar, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1½ cups water in a medium pot over medium-high, whisking occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, discard pandan leaves, and whisk in two 13.5-oz. cans Thai or Vietnamese unsweetened coconut milk (mixture will be lukewarm). If using 2 tsp. vanilla extract instead of pandan leaves, whisk into coconut syrup.
- Pour coconut syrup into dry ingredients and whisk vigorously until smooth (a few tiny lumps may remain-that's okay). Strain batter through a fine-mesh sieve into another large bowl, pressing on any solids in the sieve with a ladle or spoon to help dissolve them (you want the batter to be lump-free). Reserve first large bowl (no need to rinse).
- Pour half of batter (3¼ cups; 806 g) back into reserved bowl (this will be for the white layers). Stir ⅓ cup rose syrup, 2 tsp. rose water, and 4 tsp. natural red food coloring (if using) into remaining batter (this will be your pink batter).
- Lightly coat bottom and sides of a 9"-diameter metal cake pan with vegetable oil. Line bottom with a parchment paper round and lightly brush parchment with oil. Place pan in steamer and let sit until slightly warm, about 3 minutes (this will help kick-start the cooking process when the batter is poured in).
- Stir white batter, then pour 1 cup (250 g) batter into cake pan (leave pan in the steamer while you add each layer to maximize efficiency-just be mindful of the steam when you remove the pot lid). Cover pot and steam batter until just set (the surface will leave only the barest indentation when lightly pressed with a spoon), 7-9 minutes. (There might be a thin sheen of fat and water on top-don't let that deceive you into thinking it's uncooked. If cooked too long, the layers might be rubbery.)
- Stir pink batter and gently pour 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. (280 g) batter over white layer; repeat cooking process.
- Continue layering and cooking process with remaining batters, alternating between white and pink, for a total of 6 layers. Adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer and check water level in pot occasionally to make sure pan is not dry (if water level is low, add hot tap water and return to simmer before cooking additional layers; pan can remain in steamer). Remember to stir batter each time before pouring as the flours have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the bowls. After the final layer is set, remove pot from heat, uncover, and let sit until cake is cool enough to handle, about 45 minutes.
- Gently blot any liquid from surface of cake with a kitchen towel. Cover pan with a plate or plastic wrap and chill until cold, at least 2 hours. (Chilling helps the starch set and ensures cleaner slices when cutting.)
- To serve, invert pan onto a cutting board; tap and wiggle pan to release cake (if it refuses to come out, run an offset spatula along the sides of the pan). Using an oiled knife or a sturdy plastic knife, slice cake into about 1" squares, rectangles, or diamonds (the rounded edges will be uneven; consider them a cook's treat!). Arrange kuih on a platter and let sit about 30 minutes to come to room temperature before eating for optimal texture. Do ahead: Kuih lapis can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled in pan, or if cut, transfer pieces to an airtight container and chill.

- Combine plain flour, cake flour, and custard powder, in a mixing bowl, and mix well with a wooden spoon. Sift the flour mixture once, and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and white sugar, mix well, and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk eggs on high speed (speed 4 to 5 on my Kitchen Aid mixer) for 15 to 20 seconds. While whisking, gradually add in the combined sugars, in a steady, continuous stream. Continue to whisk until the egg mixture turns pale in colour, thickens, and triples in volume (ribbon stage - see Recipe Notes below), about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Sift the flour mixture a second time. Divide the flour mixture into 3 portions. Fold the flour mixture, one portion at a time, into the egg mixture, using a light and quick hand. Cover the batter with a dry tea cloth, and set aside to rest for 1-2 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the bamboo steamer. Line the base and sides of a 10-inch bamboo steamer with greaseproof paper. When batter has sufficiently rested, prepare enough water (for at least 30 minutes of steaming) in a deep pot and bring to boil, over high heat.

- Add 3 large eggs, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and ¾ cup lightly packed dark brown sugar to a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer, and beat on high for 5 minutes until well-combined and fluffy.
- Scrape the bottom of the bowl and add 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract, ⅓ cup evaporated milk, and 1½ tablespoons custard powder. Beat for 1 minute.
- Sift 1 cup cake flour, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and 3½ teaspoons baking powder. Fold into the batter gently until incorporated. Try to break up any large lumps, but don’t overwork the batter––some smaller lumps are okay!
- Let the batter sit for 30 minutes. The dry ingredients absorb, and the baking powder has a chance to do its thing. While the batter is resting, line a 9 inch bamboo steamer basket with parchment paper. You can also use a 9 inch cake pan greased with vegetable shortening or butter and lightly coated with all-purpose flour. Lightly buttering and flouring the metal cake pan is important step, even if it is non-stick!

25 SIMPLE MALAYSIAN DESSERTS - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (5)Published Apr 19, 2021Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Malaysian Shaved Ice Dessert/Ice Kacang/ABC. Shaved ice is a popular summertime snack in America, but you’ve probably never had it prepared the way Malaysians do.
- Almond London Cookies. This recipe takes less than an hour to complete. It yields 70 of these delicious, bite-sized chocolate and almond cookies, which seem like individually wrapped chocolate bars.
- Cashew Nut Cookies. These tasty, party-perfect cookies are similar to shortbread cookies, but they’re made with roasted cashews for a nuttier, earthier flavor.
- Peanut Puffs. These peanut puffs look like miniature apple pies that have been deep-fried to golden-brown perfection. They’re sweet and crispy, and they’re traditionally served every year at Chinese New Year celebrations.
- Onde Onde (Pandan and Coconut Dessert) Underneath the coconut, these cute little coconut balls are blue and yellow thanks to blue pea flowers and natural pandan.
- Pandan Coconut Ice Cream. Pandan is another ingredient that’s frequently found in Malaysian desserts. If you’ve never had it, you’re in for a treat. It adds a natural splash of color to your dishes and smells unbelievably good.
- Bubur Cha-Cha. I love all the bright colors found in Malaysian dishes, and bubur cha-cha is one of the loveliest, most colorful desserts there is. It features tapioca and coconut milk for plenty of sweetness, and the colors come from yellow, orange, and purple sweet potatoes, yams, and black-eyed peas.
- Kue Lapis (Layered Coconut Milk Dessert) This colorful, layered dish has a springy texture that lends itself nicely to peeling it off and enjoying it layer by layer.
- Kue Koci Gula Kelapa (Glutinous Rice Cake with Coconut Filling) Okay, these look a little odd, I’ll admit. However, I urge you to overlook that and give them a try because they’re intoxicatingly good.
- Kuih Bingka Ubi Kayu (Baked Tapioca and Coconut Milk Cake) You’ll make these soft, fluffy cakes from tapioca and coconut milk. They’re gluten-free and delightfully moist.
