My sugar syrup and the mixture seemed to be immiscible, leading to the sugar sinking to the bottom of the mixture so that when its baked, the bottom part was springy and dark but the top was spongier and lighter in colour. Do you have any ideas how this can be improved?sparkedillusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312860450841729292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-19919216352097093222013-01-08T12:46:29.836+11:002013-01-08T12:46:29.836+11:00Thanks!

Any advice on this for further improvement? Thanks anyway, everyone at our year end party enjoyed the Malaysian cake.

You should be able to find malaysian products (like coconut cream, pandan leaves, palm sugar, condensed milk, tapioca) in asian supermarkets in Australia such as Miracle if u need inspiration. Another fav of mine which you can definitely make is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisang_goreng" rel="nofollow">pisang goreng</a> (fried banana), but it's super naughty!Stephcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287192870684938203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-62624025907456284442009-08-10T16:59:43.477+10:002009-08-10T16:59:43.477+10:00Hi, I have to cook a Malaysian dessert for a group...Hi, I have to cook a Malaysian dessert for a group of 10 arriving from Malaysia and thought this might be appropriate.

I'm not sure of its origins, whether it's Chinese or Malaysian. It has the same tunnel effects. I think you can buy them at most Chinese groceries, at the counter, delivered fresh by small-time bakers.<br /><br />Oh and congrats on your award!!Foragerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981496472094513643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-69631157000947633292009-07-20T19:19:19.909+10:002009-07-20T19:19:19.909+10:00Ellie - Hehe I hope it lived up to expectations!

I usually avoid caramel and honeycomb cakes because I find them sickly sweet but this is more dark and treacle-like.
