How to Make Simple and Quick Layer Cakes

It is worth noting that layered cake is a traditional Indonesian snack made from rice flour, tapioca flour, coconut milk, sugar, and food coloring. Rice flour gives the cake a soft and elastic texture. Meanwhile, the use of tapioca flour is intended to provide a chewy sensation when bitten.

In addition, cornstarch also helps bind and stabilize the dough so that it remains solid and does not easily break apart.

Here are some ingredients that must be prepared to make a simple layered cake that is soft, sweet, and legit:

250 grams of rice flour 100 grams of cornstarch or tapioca 700 ml of thick coconut milk 250 grams of granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 leaves of pandan leaves Food coloring according to taste

After all the ingredients are ready, follow the steps to make a simple and quick layered cake as follows:

Boil coconut milk with pandan leaves and salt until boiling, then remove and let it warm. Mix the rice flour, cornstarch, and granulated sugar in one large container, stir until evenly mixed. Pour the warm coconut milk little by little while continuing to stir so that the dough does not clump. Filter the dough to make sure the texture is really smooth. Divide the dough into several parts and add food coloring according to taste. Prepare a 20x20 cm pan, lightly grease with oil so that the cake does not stick. Heat the steamer and cover it with a clean cloth. Pour one spoon of the dough into the pan, flatten it, then steam for 3-5 minutes. Add different colored dough on top, steam again for 3-5 minutes. Repeat the process until all the dough is gone. After the last layer, steam for 20-30 minutes until the cake is perfectly cooked. Remove and let the cake cool before cutting so that the result is neat. Tips for Successful and Non-Sticky Layer Cakes

In order for the results of soft layered cakes and the layers to be neat, make sure the steamer is really hot before pouring the batter. In addition, the batter must be stirred before pouring so that the flour does not settle. Waiting for each layer to be half cooked before pouring the next layer is also important so that the layers do not mix.
