  1. Line the bottom of a 20 cm pan with baking paper and brush the sides thinly with butter, then preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
  2. Whip the egg yolks, whole eggs, SP emulsifier, vanilla, salt, and sugar until thick, pale, and at ribbon stage.
  3. Mix the coconut milk with the oil and pandan paste, then warm it briefly in the microwave until just lukewarm.
  4. Sift the cake flour, cornstarch, milk powder, and baking powder into the whipped eggs and fold until combined.
  5. Take about a quarter of the batter and stir it into the warm coconut milk mixture to lighten it.
  6. Pour that mixture back into the main batter and fold gently until evenly combined.
  7. Divide the batter between the pans, level it, then tap them to release the air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, then let the cakes cool.
  9. Cook the shaved palm sugar with the cream, salt, and pandan leaf over low heat until the sugar dissolves and it starts to boil.
  10. Turn off the heat, stir in the unsalted butter until melted, then strain the sauce and let it cool until it thickens.
  11. Trim the caramelized tops off the cooled cakes so the layers are even.
  12. Whip the unsalted butter with a little salt until light and fluffy like buttercream.
  13. Add 4 to 6 tbsp of the cooled gula melaka sauce and a little powdered sugar, then whip until fully combined.
  14. Stack the cake layers with the gula melaka buttercream in between, then scrape the sides smooth.
  15. Chill the cake for about 15 minutes until the buttercream sets.
  16. Trim the edges, cut the cake into portions, then decorate with piped buttercream and a drizzle of gula melaka sauce.
