dear aunty yo,
in jakarta, it's also very popular to "stack" the lapis surabaya using pineapple jam... yummy!
during my CNY holiday in jkt, my brother brought lapis surabaya which is only two layer, white & chocolate, instead of buttercream, they apply chocolate ganache and sprinkle with some raisins (soaked with rum).
hm... u makes me drolling abt lapis surabaya.... going to make it tonight.. after work :)
thanks & takecare!
Hi n2inpink,
I did sprinkle raisins (but never soak in rum)....will do that the next round. I just used hot water to plump it up.
Will take note of your tips.

Hi Lucy, I did this cake for my mum last month for Mother's Day. The smell was heavenly when I took it out of the oven. She loves it and thank you so much for sharing the recipe with us.
Tks-Yochana-for-your-recipe.
I've-tried-for-the-first-time-and-have-few-questions-to-clarify.Though-not-quite-successful,but-ended-up-with-2-layers-of-edible-cake.
1)The-yellow-cake-rose-nicely-but-later-shrunk-after-I-took-out-from-oven,thus-I-can't-split-into-2-portions.Is-it-b'cos-I-poured-melted-butter-into-the-yolk-mixture-instead-of-folding-with-flour-or-I-over-folded?Texture-is-not-fluffy.
2)Why-u-mention-2-different-size-of-tins-as-I-used-both-9''sq-tin?
3)Why-is-only-egg-yolk-used-for-this-cake?Is-it-b'cos-of-colour?
4)I-tried-also-steaming-Huat-Kueh-many-timesusing-wok-or-2-tiers-steamer-but-sometimes-successfully,sometimes-densed-liked-Kueh-Ko-Swee-texture-after-I-took-out-from-steamer.Really-puzzled-me???Can-you-advise?

Hi mother-of-4
Yes you probably could have overmixed your yellow portion. Egg yolks are used in this recipe to give the cake the softness.
You only need 1 layer choc and 2 layers yellow and that is why I gave the different sizes but u can use two 9" sq if your batter suffice then slice accordingly.
As for steam huat kueh...it's a very bullying type of kueh. As what you've mentioned, sometimes smile and sometimes it doesnt'. For Wa kok kway, it depends on your fermented rice - whether it's properly fermented or not. Sometimes also due to mixing or your Eno is not working anymore. Sometimes eggs also play a part...not fresh enough. So there are many factors to unsuccessful huat kueh which you have to practice and know where you went wrong. Even I sometimes gets huat kueh that doesn't smile.
