A classic layered steamed cake adapted into a manageable loaf-pan version.

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 1 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 tsp pandan extract
  • 1 cup mung bean paste
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Let’s make it

  1. Mix tapioca starch, rice flour, sugar, coconut milk, and salt until smooth. Divide the batter in half and stir pandan extract into one half.
  2. Pour a thin layer of plain batter into a greased loaf pan and steam 5 minutes until set.
  3. Add a thin layer of mung bean paste and another thin layer of pandan batter, steaming each layer 5 minutes until finished.
  4. Cool completely before slicing.

Chill the cake briefly for cleaner slices that are easier for children to hold.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
