Banh Bo Nuong (Vietnamese Honeycomb Cake)

3 eggs

120ml coconut milk

120g tapioca flour

100g palm sugar

1tbsp Alsa (1 bag) 

2 pandan leaves

Pandan essence

In a sauce pan, bring coconut milk, palm sugar, pandan leaves to boil tthen turn it off, let the sugar dissolve, let cool.

Pre heat oven to 230, grease a 6 inch cake tin and heat in oven at lowest rack ( if your oven is big then use the middle rack perhaps)

Lightly mix the eggs make sure no bubbles form.

Mix the coconut milk and egg.

Sift the flour and baking powder together. Add to the egg,coconut milk mixture.

Strain once.

Take the hot cake tin out, strain the batter in the cake tin.

Turn oven to 160c bake for 40-50mins

Leave in oven till the cake is not too hot before taking it out.

The cake taste so nice and a lot honeycombs but I slightly taste the metallic of baking powder, may be I will try to reduce baking powder( but last time when I use only 1 tsp baking power the cake ddin't rise) or add little more sugar.
