Steamed Coffee Layered Cake

Kek Lapis Kopi Kukus

Since yesterday was Sunday,I was free to make one cake.That one cake was to have coffee flavour added inside.

....And as if adding coffee was not enough,i added in some oreo biscuits into two of the layers.You can always skip this step.It's optional.

Sometimes,If I'm lazy,I can have only two colours instead of using
more colours.This way,I don't have to wash up a lot of utensils and
plates.

Although you can use 3-in-1 coffee powder,it is however,advisable to use strong black coffee for a more coffee taste.If you really are a coffee lover of course!

Now,the ingredients needed:

450g anchor butter

180g caster sugar

220g Hong kong flour,sifted

10 eggs

1 small tin kaya(170g)

1 small tin condensed milk

4 tbsps strong coffee powder + i tbsp hot water to mix(or 2 pkts 3-in-1)

1 tbsp vanilla essence

a pinch of red,green colouring,yellow,brown/black

Method:

1..Beat butter and sugar until creamy.

2..Add in eggs one at a time,but preferably in alternate with condensed milk so that the mixture won't be so lumpy.(egg,then milk,then egg,then milk) until both are used up.

3.  Add in vanilla essence,follow by kaya and condensed milk.

4.  Then add in sifted flour.Mix well to combine.

5.  Divide mixture into 4 portions.Each portion add in desired colouring.

6.  Steam layer by layer over high heat,making sure each layer is set first               before adding in the next layer or colour.

7.  After the last layer,steam the cake a bit longer to properly cooked through.

8.  Take the cake out from the steamer to cool.Wait until it is properly cool,then
     cut to serve.

9.  The cake can be chilled in the fridge.
