I used cempedak puree for this as I have about 300g  in my stock...the sugar amount below I didnt add as the puree was already sweet enough and already got sugar content in it..so please adjust yourself ya..

300 g isi cempedak* - saya gunakan 300g cempedak puree-(300g cempedak seeded* - I used cempedak puree)
650 ml santan* (dr 1/2 biji kelapa) - (650ml coconut milk*)
2 biji telur* -(2 eggs*)
240 g tepung gandum -(240g plain flour)
150 g gula pasi -boleh kurangkan,jika cempedak manis, saya tak letak ni sebab saya gunakan  cempedak puree yang sudah mengandungi gula-(150g sugar-can reduce if cempedak already sweet, I didnt add this as I used  cempedak puree which has already sugar content)
1/2 sk garam -(1/2 tsp salt)
80 g mentega cair -(80b butter)
1/2 sk pewarna oren/kuning -(1/2 tsp yellow colouring)

Tepung,gula dan garam di masukkan ke dalam sebuah mangkuk dan gaul rata.
Kisar halus santan,cempedak dan telur dan tuangkan ke dalam mangkuk tepung tadi dan gaul sebati.
Tuang mentega cair dan pewarna dan digaul lagi hingga sebati dan tepung tk bergentel2.
Tuang adunan ke dalam loyang yg digris (alas alum. dan gris jika bimbang kuih melekat pd dasar loyang).

Sejukkan bingka dan bolehlah dipotong dan disajikan.-(Mix flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Blend cemepdak, coocnut milk and eggs and add to flour mixture, stir till incorporated.
