Topo Map Love Cake (地图牛油蛋糕)

When I first saw this cake , I was fascinated by it's colour & irregular stripes. I decided to bake this pretty Topo Map Love Cake and could not wait to see how my cake turns out after baking. My sister's dog came lingering at the kitchen  the moment I took out the cake from the oven. I was happy to see the outcome of this cake. In fact it's a simple nice butter cake which look like a map and is now my favourite too.

6. Divide the batter to two. Mix vanilla extract to one part and pandan paste to the other.
7. Preheat oven to 170 degrees
8. Spread 1/2 the pandan batter (or vanilla whichever you prefer) into pan. Level it.
