Pandan and Vanilla Layer Loaf Cake - 1st Attempt

[takayanagi]

While randomly looking for recipes, I came across this interesting looking cake on WendyinKK’s blog. She calls it a Topo Map cake. Originally I was going to do a raspberry and vanilla cake but my mom’s over visiting at the moment and she brought over some pandan paste for me. Naturally I had to try it out, so pandan and vanilla it is!

Ingredients:

• 4oz Sugar
• 4oz Butter
• 4oz Self Rising Flour seived
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

2. Cream sugar and butter till light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs and beat.
4. Add flour and fold.
5. Put half the batter into another bowl.
6. In one half, fold in the vanilla. In the other half, fold in the pandan paste.

10. Once again sift an even layer of cocoa powder.
