hooked on Indonesian layer cake
DH went to Bali, Indonesia last week and look what he brought home. You can’t go to Bali or Indonesia, for that matter, and not eat their famous Layer Cake. Beautiful, isn’t it
It’s quite a challenge to make this cake. You have to bake it one layer at a time and I think you’re supposed to get the layers to be the same, exact height. It’s time-consuming and needs a steady hand and loads of experience. That’s why it’s so expensive. DH paid around rm35 ($11) for a 7.5″ square cake.
The layers in this photo are not quite standard. DH says the lady who made this had so many orders to fulfill she probably didn’t have time to bother too much about the looks. DH alone bought 6 cakes so you can imagine!
I’m glad he bought so many. This layer cake is one of the best I’ve tasted. It’s soft and buttery and has a barely-there saltiness to it. Every time I open the fridge, I pop a couple of pieces.
