This was my second attempt baking pandan layer cake..the first time, the pandan jelly was too soft ..reason being I mixed 300ml of fresh coconut milk with 250ml coconut milk (packet)..so this round, I used 500ml fresh coconut milk and it worked..anyhow, still gotta try again coz I felt the pandan layer was too thick! Again, I got this recipe from Sonia's blog.
