Steamed Tapioca Layer Cake (Bánh da lợn)

(Steamed Tapioca Layer Cake, Bánh da heo, Pig Skin Cake)

This traditional Vietnamese dessert consists of chewy layers that are typically made with puréed mung beans, tapioca starch, rice flour, and coconut milk or water. Traditionally, each cake has a pale yellow layer made with mung beans and a green layer that is flavored and colored with pandan leaves, while optional ingredients include durian or taro.


Once steamed and chilled, the cake is usually cut into diamond shapes.
