Kue Lapis Sagu Ombre (Ombre Steamed Sago Layered Cake) Kue Lapis Sagu Ombre (Ombre Steamed Sago Layered Cake)
#mycookbook‘Lapis’ in Indonesian means layered. This is one of the traditional cake which can be found not only in Indonesia but also in Malaysia 🇲🇾, Singapore 🇸🇬, and Brunei 🇧🇳 where it is called kuih lapis.This cake usually consists of two different colors but you may also find three colors or even rainbow colors nowadays. This time I tried just using two colors. but instead of using different color for each layer, I added 1 more drop of pandan paste for each layer. So it created darker color of the layer.Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

Chocolate Rice Pinkblanket Layer Cake Chocolate Rice Pinkblanket Layer Cake
Great layer #cake. while doing other #cakes, i forgot abt this was still baking & top part end up lightly brown. A crowd pleaser, this cake, like many other #layercakes, is tedious to make, quite pricey but people still buying. Recipes are available for many types of layer cakes but because these cakes are very tedious & time consuming to make, people back home end up ordering/buying from home bakers or bakery.#dessert #teatime #baking #food #cakes #cake #starch #sweet #kek #keklapis

Three Layers Cake (Kue Lapis Surabaya) Three Layers Cake (Kue Lapis Surabaya)
In my country, Three Layers Cake is called Lapis Surabaya. I am not sure why it’s called like that, but this cake is very famous in Indonesia besides the thousand layers cake (Lapis Legit). Honestly I liked both. But personally I don’t like to bake the thousand layers cake because it takes a lot of time and it’s very tedious. So, if I have to choose, I would rather bake the three layers cake. But both cakes are notorious for the amount of egg yolks needed. For people who have a cholesterol issues, just be aware not to consume too much of this cake. Once awhile it’s okay, but don’t too much.I am not really fan of dessert, but sometimes I do feel cravings for this delicious cake.The texture of this cake, is moist and soft. It’s so delicious. So who could resist this delicate cake even though we know it contains too much egg yolks? But as I says, “once awhile it’s okay”. 😄Do you wanna try? Here’s the recipe.
