It was my first time to make pandan layer cake. 8 inch cake was successfully baked by using sponge cake mix. However, the cake tasted too sweet. I was trying to make the pandan custard layer with following recipe. Maybe I did not cook the mixture till it became thick and straightly assembled them. Yes, it was floating, which I put one pan on top of the cake. I did not happen to think that the mould was too shallow and it was overflowed when I put the pan on top of the cake. I waited 2 days for the cake to form, but the custard layer was still very watery.
Sigh ... Ingredients:
(A) Cake (it ended up too sweet)
250g sponge cake mix
4 eggs
50ml water
50ml cooking oil
(B) Pandan Custard
(i)
150g sugar
1/2 tsp salt
50g Hoen Kuew flour
(ii)
2 eggs
1tsp pandan essence
(iii)
100g pandan juice
300ml coconut milk
1L water (not sure it is too much over here, which I cooked the mixture for 30 minutes and still not became thick mixture)
As a conclusion, my cake and the custard were totally disastrous. :(

I was trying to make pandan layer cake again. The outcome was slightly better than the previous one. Still the custard was having problem. I changed to another recipe and the custard dried and hardened too fast until the cake was not sticked to it.
Ingredients:
(A) Cake
200g sponge cake mix
4 eggs
60ml pandan juice
50ml cooking oil
(B) Pandan Custard (dried too fast and too thick)
200ml pandan juice
80ml water
200ml coconut milk
85g Hoen Kuew flour
150g sugar
Maybe this time the water should be increased to 500ml instead.
