Irene-inspired Kueh Lapis
This recipe is from my friend and church-mate, Irene. Has been around for more than 20 years, and served many. Truly tried and tested. Enjoy!
Note that I have changed the recipe by adding a few ingredients, as I like my cake with a bit of fluff. The method is also simplified from Irene’s (so that I have less to wash and takes a shorter time) without, in my opinion, affecting the end product.
