Hawflakes Layered Cake

Bonjour,

Layered cakes or kek lapis are traditionally served in Sarawak and this kek lapis Sarawak are so famous throughout Malaysia. When its comes to kek lapis, people knows that Sarawak layered cakes is a colourful cake that comes in different pattern, colour and taste. Sometime I was just wondering how patient the person make a cake that perfectly layered and looks so beautiful, amazing and the cakes looks too pretty to eat!

To be honest, to make Sarawak kek lapis or any layer cake need lots of patience and I am not patient enough to wait the cake done and I can't wait to try it. That's why my hawflakes layered cake was not as pretty as Sarawak layered cake but the taste was good just as what I expected. It seems I need to bake and practice more in the future to make a better layer cake. Recipe I got from Azlita masam manis blog and these cake suppose to be steamed but I baked it. I slightly overcooked the cake and it's a little bit dry.
