Steamed Layer Cake/Steamed Coconut Layer Cake

[@BoredInTheHouse1]

I just want to say, this recipe is the best! I did 3 attempts. 1st time: using 2.5cups of sugar and coconut cream and followed remaining directions to the T and it was perfection! Made in a 6inx6inx2in pan and was able to do 3 trays. 2nd time: changed recipe to 2cups sugar. Made in 8inx4in bread pan and was able to make 3 pans. It was too sticky. 3rd time: went back to 1st time ingredients and did 4 batch the night b4 for a party. Was able to make 4 half trays (11inx9in). Let it cool room temp overnight. I cut it in the morning and covered tray in seran wrap. It was still perfect in 97degree weather! Didn't melt, didn't turn sticky. Everyone complimented how good these were. Thank you for this recipe!!

HELLO! Awsome videos, just curious. Can cooling down be sped up by putting them in the fridge?

[@HaibTshajHaib]

Very nice

[@purplemyworld]

How much would 1 batch make? About a small aluminum tray do you think? Love all the vibrant colors!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes 1 small aluminum tray.

[@yinglao7594]

Thanks for sharing. I made some and my family loves it. Btw I have a 3 layer steamer and was wondering if it’s good to use all three layers at the same time to steam?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I wouldn’t recommend as the humidity/steam from upper layer may make the cook layer soggy or “wet” looking.

[@Cindy-z9p]

I try to triple the recipe, but it failed on me. Wanted to make a huge batch but was unable to with this. Not sure if its the cooking process or if the heat was too high or needed to be medium heat. Please help.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, should be high heat. Cook one layer at a time, do not add the next layer until current layer is cooked. First layer is quickest to cook, rest takes a little longer.

[@amyyang6604]

I followed all your instructions, but mine came out too sticky even though it did taste good! Do you think it's the coconut milk brand or should I use cold water instead of room temperature water?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, maybe try a different coconut milk brand. Seems it may be too much liquid.

[@popnfin]

Do we need to oil the pan for easy take out?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, no need. The coconut milk contains oil.

[@mchann100]

Where did you purchase your steam pot? Currently looking for one😊

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I got it from a local Asian store. You can check out Amazon. www.amazon.com/Stainless-Stackable-Vegetable-Cookware-Multilayer/dp/B08JMFKNKR/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?crid=2VFNZJHNM1RNO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.z4mbli_p0p_-FbYZRN9H4MHJhjfqhIhYPawAIJTNeWVc3jhXri-ND88vAyPMH1sEtTTNxAgn6aMppkZbOaddMunL5SKbQQYozbPWZg75Y6ovlH7f7sWPvpLcPDqRYsPoDCRO2OuHe4h3jqZMeJ-cBZXVdsgwm2OzHN48Vo1sYmunTvXEtC4iu2WgREl_reVjvp2sjdMO1yvk1xAqviHIrQ.rVNr0xd0QMM2fgX1B-2GMbEkQ2g5PII8mpI2iSVpEsY&dib_tag=se&keywords=3%2Blayer%2Blarge%2Bsteamer%2Bfor%2Bcooking&qid=1710825866&sprefix=3%2Blayer%2Blarge%2Bsteamer%2Bfor%2Bcooking%2Caps%2C324&sr=8-11&th=1&psc=1

[@MeeKaZKT]

Help! How much should I make to yield a full tray?

[@BoredInTheHouse1]

I would say 2 batch.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes two batch.

[@bbxy2418]

Hey, I tried this recipe, but it turned out to be very oily. Is that what you like? Also, would your recipe still work if I just used 2 cans of coconut milk instead of 3?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, what type of coconut milk did you use? If oily, try a different brand with less fat content. Yes you can add less coconut and substitute it with water but 3/4 the amount.

[@bbxy2418]

@@ZoeyandVFam I used the exact coconut cream you used actually. I thought maybe it was that cream style that made it oily? Actually, I kept it in the fridge over night and the oiliness did tone down lol.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Next time try coconut milk for less oily. To me it was not oily using coconut cream. Coconut cream does have a fatter content than coconut milk.

[@princesspoopie7311]

I dont like Coconut milk can I use regular evap milk

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I have not tried with evaporate milk so I am unsure. Also you may not get the same taste if not using coconut milk. You may also need to grease your pan if not using replacing coconut milk.

[@only524]

Does this recipe make 1/2 tray?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes

[@danie4819]

Mine is super rubbery. Did u think I cook too long

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Should not be rubbery, should be soft like what I showed in video. I don’t think over steaming can cause this, maybe you added too much tapioca starch?? Was it hard?

[@dr3ambab3e]

Where did u purchase ur cutting knife?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I bought from my local Asian store. You can purchase online, look up crinkle cutter/knife

[@pajhuabvang013]

Sis, where did you get your steamer?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I got it from my local Asian Supermarket.

[@Ncotauhlubtsistau]

What size is your foil pan?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Sorry not sure since I don’t have the pan, but they are the mini loaf tin foil that comes a 3 each.

[@allisondrew3119]

I follow your recipe is very soft cannot cut it

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Did you let it cool completely before cutting?

[@allisondrew3119]

@@ZoeyandVFam I did but 3 cans of coconut milk and 4 cups of water it too when I reduced to one can of coconut milk and 4 cups of water it perfect

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Ok, glad you adjusting turned out. Not sure if it’s due to the coconut milk brand.

[@amyyang6604]

@@allisondrew3119mine was sticky too. I will add less coconut to mine.

[@kajnrighvang1994]

can I make this the night before a party How should I store them to make sure they don't get hard?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes you can make day prior. Keep in close lid container in refrigerator. I’ve kept mines for 3 days and they did not get hard.

[@halamarwa-l5n]

can you writing quantity to arabic

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Sorry I’m not able to, maybe you can google the amount?

[@vajgirl09]

Hi, I made them and they were perfect however, it was a teeny tiny bit hard. How do I make them softer? Did I refrigerate them too long? I place them in the fridge for almost 2 hours before cutting and eating them.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I’m not sure why yours were hard. Where they not covered when placed in refrigerator? If so that may be the reason. These even after cut if placed in tight container stays soft for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
