Steaming process
  • Brush cooking oil on a 7 x7 x 3 inches square pan.
  • Prepare steamer with water to boil. Preheat square pan for 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1st pandan batter in the tray steam for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. 
  • Pour 2nd coconut batter onto pandan layer. Steam for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. 
  • Continue to follow the sequence until you reach the 9th Pandan Layer. 
  • Steam for 10 minutes. 
  • Leave Kueh Lapis to complete cool best at least 6 -8 hours before serving. 

    Important tips:
    Avoid using too much coconut milk as it will cause the cake's layer to lose adhesiveness. 

    Each time before pouring the batter ensure you give a quick stir and do pour  a little at a time to test if the surface is already set,   instead of pouring the whole batter at one shot. 

    Do not steam over high heat or the layer will wrinkle. When ready to cut, use an oiled knife or plastic knife to cut to prevent sticking. If you try to cut the warm cake, they tend to stick. Leave to cool at least  6-8 hours. 

    Do not freeze as the texture tend deteriorates.

    Kuih Lapis is always best to eat immediately with the 2 days 

    As the layers kept increasing  4 minutes may not be applicable as  the layers gets thicker. So you may need to extend another one minutes or best to say so long the surface is set.
