I can still remember vividly how my friends and I employed to look forward to the sweet delicacies served during the Lunar New Year. Our favourite is the Kek Lapis or Indonesian Layer Cake. As this is an high-priced cake, we only get to eat it in the course of very special occasion. As a passionate baker, I told myself that no matter what I must learn how to make Kek Lapis…(get Kek Lapis recipe after the jump)
Kek Lapis is often a extremely unique cake where spices are added in to give the sweet aroma smell. It can be a really rich cake with very high contents of eggs and butter. Consequently, it truly is usually served in really little pieces.

Producing Kek Lapis is often a extremely tedious job but it’s worth the hard work whenever you see the lovely layers of the cake. Additional so when we see our close friends and loved ones enjoying each bite of it. Kek Lapis isn’t actually a Nyonya recipe, but a good baking recipe to share with Nyonya Food readers.
