Kuih Puteri Ayu (Steamed Pandan Sponge Cake)

Wanted to make this steamed cake for sometime but was so hesitate to have to buy the mould and moreover it is in plastic.  But just do not know why I still go ahead to get it.  Luckily the moulds was not that expensive ...

Actually it was a picture that I stumbled upon in Instagram that inspired me to make this sponge cake.  But that picture posted was in Pumpkin flavour instead of pandan flavour.
