Step-by-step guide with tips for perfect layers and QQ texture. This traditional rainbow kueh is gluten-free, oven-free, and a real crowd-pleaser. Great for beginners!

✅ Eye-catching layered look ✅ Showstopper perfect for any celebration ✅ Fun & satisfying peeling of each layer

Due to the tall structure of the Nordic Ware Anniversary Bundt pan, I didn’t follow the traditional 9 layers for the Kueh Lapis. I had to add four more layers to make up for the height of the Bundt pan.
