Pandan Kaya Rolled Cake


Made this roll of Pandan Kaya from the extra layer of leftover cake slice from the Pandan Kaya Layer Cake yesterday. The original recipe of the said cake was so soft and cottony that it would be a waste to throw the leftovers away.

Given that this mini roulade cake only took place 1 day after the baking and being exposed wouldn't be in the ideal shape for rolling. To make it worse, the leftover layer was really thin to begin with. Nevertheless, I am posting this as a record and reminder for me to apply this recipe as the cake base for my next rolled cake project. 

The outcome was too soft and cottony to be missed. I have adjusted the cake recipe to suit the cake pan size of 30x30x2cm as my future rolled cake base.
