Pandan Ogura Cake with butter cream
I personally prefer the cake without butter cream. The purpose to sandwich the cake with butter cream is the requirement by Malaysian Food Fest to meet the Family Pastry Shop Batu Pahat version.

Hello Christine, I tried your previous 2 recipes, they turned out nice. But for my oven I need to bake for 50-55 minutes @ 170C. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKimmy, Glad that yr cake turned out nice. TQ for dropping by and left yr foot print to light up my normally quiet blog. ^_^ Keep on trying other flavours for these irreisistable Ogura cake, lets acacia 2gether!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, forgot to mention, my cake cracks a little here and there. Yours is so smooth, any idea what's the reason for the cracks? I'll visit you often cos' we share the same passion - Ogura cakes.
ReplyDeleteKimmy, could it be over- baked as mentioned u need to bake up to 55 mins in yr oven as we know different oven has diff character. As for me, luckily so far no crack appear on my ogura cakes lo.... finger crossed! ^_^
ReplyDeleteKimmy, I hv notice that many mistaken steam bake and water bath is the same method used. In actual fact they are not. Steam bake can help to prevent cake from cracking and dont have to worry the cake is not fully done. You may refer the method from my Ogura coffee cake post! Hope this will help you! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteCan I steam the cake? I don't have an oven.: (
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, I think u can although I hv not try, but cover it with foil to prevent vapor get into the cake! Happy trying! TQ !
