Pandan Custard Layer Cake 香兰千层蛋糕

Yeap, it's been a long long while since I make anything like this one here. haha....  This is hubby favourite. He can finish off the cake and left only the icing cream behind. Good that my tester are also around ! They can help to polish off everything as well. Hmmm..... this actually reminds me of the cartoon series 'Pinky and the Brain' ! Anyone heard of it ?????

You may also decorated the cake with some whipped cream. I love cream on my cake.

The custard layer turns out great from my plastic container actually ! haha.... The custard layer from the side will look thinner if you're using 6-1/2" tray but you will have thicker layer in between. Either way it still looks good.
