Healthy Steamed Pandan Layer Cake

Its take 2Ps  ~ Patient and Passion to make this time consuming cake.  If lazymama can do it, you are definitely no fuss at all in making this healthy and yet delicious cake. It took me 2½ hours to make the cake, but it was worth the effort.    Moreover steaming is always healthier that baking!   Right?  

I am going for Pandan favour for my 1st attempt is simply would like to join the the blog event of   Little Thumbs Up organized by Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids.  Kudos to her for the effort!

The layers were not as perfect as they should be though but I am happy for the taste!  Mamamia!

We love the strong aroma of the pandan, that goes well with a cup of Coffee/Teh!
