My Mind Patch: Steamed Pandan Soya Milk Zebra Cake

I revised the steamed pandan soya milk cake to steamed pandan soya milk ZEBRA cake as I find the latter has a nicer presentation of the cake 😉 The ingredients were basically identical except the pouring of the batters to the cake pan.

original version

Multigrain soya milk (organic soya beans, red kidney beans, French puy lentils, pumpkin seeds, black beans, almonds, walnuts, green mung beans and pandan leaf) and its pulp smell so nice. Therefore, it's a waste not to add them to my steamed cake.

The soft, moist and velvety steamed cake has a zebra pattern in the profile made by alternating the original batter with the pandan batter. The pandan batter was made by adding pandan powder.

Pour the original batter over the pandan batter.

Pour the batters in alternating sequence, overlapping each others, till all the batters have been used up.

Lightly rap the pan to level the batter.

8. Lower the cake pan into the pot of boiling water, and stand on a steamer rack. Steam at medium-low heat for 5 minutes; lower to low heat and continue to steam for 12 minutes. Turn off the heating, without opening the lid, let the cake simmer for 5 minutes to gradually “cool down”.
