Trio Flavours and Colours Butter Cake/ Steam Bake

Pin It Now!

After the duo flavours of butter cake here come three flavours in one cake! After adding the cocoa and pandan flavour into the batter I spoon the batter alternatively into the baking pan. Just try something new and end up this pattern. LOL

Ingredients: (In L23cm x W13cm X H8cm pan) 
(A)
150g butter
50g margarine
130g castor sugar

4 eggs
250g cake flour

1 tbsp homemade pandan essence
few drops of pandan flavour colouring


Method:
1. With electric mixer, cream (A) at medium speed till light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time. Make sure the egg is well combined before the next one.

2. Add in the sifted flour in 3 batches. Beat in with low speed. Lastly add in milk and vanilla extract. Continue mixing till well incorporate.

3. Remove 1/2 portion of the batter and divide into two portions. Add in the cocoa mixture and pandan flavour respectively. Mix till well combine. Set aside.

4. Assemble by layering some of the plain batter at the bottom. Then spoon the cocoa and pandan batter as shown into the baking pan. Repeat the layering (including plain batter) till finish.


5. Fill a pan with some boiling water and place at the bottom of oven. Bake the cake at middle rack in preheated oven at 180C for 30 minutes (steam bake). Remove the water and bake at lower temperature 150C for further 15-20 minutes or till cooked.

  4. We can make lots of pattern from butter cake recipe itself. This is so much fun. Nice cake Vivian, if the pandan colour is a bit darker than should be nicer right?

    1. This cake has to be baked in oven. 'steam bake' means baking in oven with some hot water placing at the base of oven. Kindly refer below link for what I meant. I guess you are the one asking the similar question in other post. kindly address yourself. Thanks!
