Pandan Gula Melaka Bundt Cake

This is twist of the kentucky butter cake recipe.  Bila rasa the kentucky butter cake aku terus jatuh cinta.  Pastu sekarang kan  everybody buat their version of onde onde cake,  pandan cake,  mcm2  nama cake. Aku pun terpanggil to buat those cakes too.  But i wanna try something different.  Thus,  this recipe came to mind. 

The verdict? Hubby sangat sangat suka cake ni.  He's  fussy cake eater.  Susahnya nak satisfy his taste bud.  Alhamdulillah,  he loves this cake. Who wouldnt? It's  moist,  soft,  fluffy,  with  the right amount of sweetness.  Peh! Boleh termimpi2 la.
