Horlick Kaya Layered Cake/Kek Lapis Kaya dan Horlick

Horlick and kaya layer cake

Steamed Layered Cake

Recently,I'm hooked in making layer cakes.

Like Chinese New Year is not over yet.I'm still wanting to make all the various types of kek Lapis and yesterday,I even made pineapple tarts again.I don't want to waste the pineapple jam kept inside the refrigerator.I still got a lot of ingredents left which I bought during the coming of Chinese New Year.Make it now before they expired.

This version of horlicks kaya cake is taken from the book Y3K but I've alter a bit of the recipe cos I think it's too sweet.And instead of 6 colours,I dedided to make only two colours.

Ingredients:

A).300g butter

150g horlicks

1 can kaya-300 g

2/3  can sweetened condensed milk-194 g

180 g low protein flour,sieved together with 1 tsp baking powder

B).10 eggs

70 g castor sugar(original 100g)

1/2 tsp purple colour

Method:

1.Cream butter till fluffy.Add in Horlicks,kaya,condensed milk and flour.Fold well till ingredients are incoporated.

2.In another clean mixing bowl,beat eggs till light and fluffy.Do not add in sugar all at once but a little at a time.Beat till sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thick and creamy.

3.Fold no.1 into no.2 and stir until well combined.

4.Divide mixture into two portions.One purple and the other remain plain.

5.Grease an 8 inch square cake tin and line with greaseproof paper.Pour in the first layer purple.When the first layer is cooked,pour in the second plain layer and repeat until all of the layers are used up.

Thin layers are more beautiful than thick layers.You can make it more colourful if you have time.

Note: This is my first time trying layered cake.This is the steamed version.
