Kuih cara manis

(Cara manis)

Kuih cara manis is a Malaysian dessert that is made with a batter consisting of eggs, flour, and coconut milk. The cakes are baked in specialized pans and are traditionally flavored with pandan leaves, which also give the cakes their distinctive green color.


While they bake, these bite-sized cakes are occasionally filled with shredded coconut, coconut jam, or palm sugar. They are usually sandwiched together and are typically enjoyed as a teatime dessert.
