Lapis Bumi Cake II （蒸咖啡可可千层蛋糕 ll）

This is a cake that i always love to make when the Lunar New Year arrive. My family love it a lot and now whenever i have time i will make it for leisure snacking..hehe It is moist, soft, kind of fudgy texture and full of nescafe (coffee) aroma. I use to make it in 2 natural color (layers) that is original plain and dark coffee color. You can view it here Recently, i saw another Lapis Bumi in a blogger friend blog so i think maybe have a change since the flavor is still the same. Oh yes!! the name of this cake is Lapis Bumi. I have my own favorite one here (Lapis Bumi l) and this one will be my Lapis Bumi ll....  lol

Makes a 7x7x1  square cake
Cup: base on a 250ml metric measuring cup

Ingredients:
1 cup (135g) all purpose flour, sifted

5 eggs (grade A - without shell weight about 55g)
225g butter (i used golden churn)
4 tbsp kaya 
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup condensed milk
1/2 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla paste
1 1/2 tbsp instant coffee powder (nescafe) mix with 1 tsp cocoa powder, dilluted with 1 Tbsp of hot water.

(i used natural food coloring from Queen's brand) Then divide each portion into 2 parts into small bowls each. (total of 6 parts; 2 nescafe, 2 yellow and 2 green parts)
8. Pour 1 part of green color batter into cake tin, loosely cover with a piece of aluminium foil and steam for  5 to 8 minutes or until the surface is not sticky when touches it.

    Hi. Your Lapis Bumi looks really good. I would like to try making it but can't decided whether I should make your Lapis Bumi 1 or this Lapis Bumi 2. Which one do you prefer?

      Hi Esther,
      Are you trying to do lapis cake for the first time? If yes, do try this lapis bumi ll. I recommend lapis bumi ll, cause its a smaller portion and it will be easier to handle.
      But if you are not the first time, try both :) both have slightly different texture. I love both.
      Happy trying!

    Hi. Your lapis looks very nice and I can't wait to try making it. However, I have one question. May I know where the 1/2 tsp of cocoa powder comes in? I've read through the recipe a few times but don't see it stated in the recipe. Also, for the eggs, I only need to beat until incorporated, is it? Hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi Linda. I hope it's okay if i reply on behalf of Mui Mui. The cocoa powder is mixed with the nescafe diluted in 1tbsp of hot water :)
