Malaysian Style Pandan 'Ma Lai Go'

Here's another version of our local Malay cake. The recipe was given by a friend. I have another version which was posted long ago, again was also given by a friend. But not many of them get the exact texture successfully even it's the original recipe. Though it's much fluffier compare to other versions. I'll try my best to find out the causes. So, just be a little patience.

This recipe is adapted from one of our local cookbook author, Mdm Wong.



(2) stir in eggs, corn oil & flour and beat well.
(3) strain mixture and then leave to proof for 12 hours or overight.
(4) then the next day, combine baking powder, baking soda, alkaline and water.
(5) stir mixture to the batter and mix well.
(6) pour batter to a 8" baking tray lined with greese proof paper.
(7) let it stand for another an hour and then steam over high heat for 35-40mins.
(8) remove cake from tin immediately and leave to cool ASAP.

You may also use a 7" tray and the cake will look taller.
The cake turned out successfully and very tasty too ! Yet I still prefer the older version. I think I will try to change the propotion in the starter dough and see what will happen.

I'm sending this to 3 Hungry Tummies @ Muhibbah Malaysian Monday, Lyndz @ Tailgating Time & Chaya @ Meatless Monday.
