Ingredients

• 135 gr Tapioca starch, 200 gr Flour, 1 Lemongrass-bruised
• 5 gr instant Yeast, 4 Egg yolks, 4 Eggs, 1½ tsp Lemon zest
• 675 ml thick Coconut milk, 1¼ tsp Vanilla sugar, 1 tsp Salt
• 100 gr Sweet condense milk, 325 gr Sugar, 100 gr Butter
• ¾ tsp Turmeric powder, 10 Kaffir lime leaves
• 100 gr Margarine, 2 Pandan leaves-big sliced
• ½ tsp Baking soda (optional) 

Directions

• Boil & stir constantly the coconut milk, lemongrass, pandan, lime leaves, turmeric, vanilla sugar & salt until the flavor blended over low heat. Remove from the heat; let it stand to cooling down until it's lukewarm. Strain the mixture; discard lemongrass & leaves. Stir in condense milk & set it aside. Meanwhile, melt the butter & margarine; remove from the heat & let it cool down to room temperature.
• Mix flour, starch & yeast. Pour in coconut milk mixture; whisk until the batter smooth (beat with a mixer for a while). Cover the batter with a cloth & let it rest for 20 minute. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, sugar & lemon zest until creamy. Beat in melted butter just to combine. Pour egg mixture into the batter; whisk until it incorporated. Cover the batter with a cloth & let it rest for 1-2 hours.
• Preheat the oven & a muffin baking pan 170° C; turn on the bottom heat (pan should be hot when you pour in the batter). Position oven rack at the second shelf from the bottom (in the middle if the oven is small). Mix baking soda with 1 tbsp of water; stir it into the batter. Fill up each muffin mould with the batter until ¾ full. Bake cake with the oven door slightly open until you can see many holes formed on the cake surface, it starts to set & the edges golden browned (18-20 min). Close the oven door. Reduce the temperature to 150° C; bake until the cake center is set (~ 5 min). Turn the upper & bottom heat on; bake until the cake is golden brown & feels firm to the touch (~ 5 min). Remove the pan; put it upside down in a wire rack & let it cool to room temperature. You will get 27-28 mini cakes.
