DH's friend in Jakarta always sends us this spiced multi-layered cake or called "lapis legit" prior to Chinese New Year. Thanks to Dutch occupation in Indonesia for hundreds of years that this cake has been inherited. This type of cake is widely sold in Singapore as well as in Malaysia, however the one that he normally gives us is one of the better ones if not the best that I have ever had. This particular one is so thinly layered and rich in taste.
The cake has firm texture and is really delicious. It is normally made using 30 yolks, 2 cups of butter and lots of sugar. You'll get your self around 8-inch cake. One thin layer has to be baked at one time and it requires tons of patience. I used to make them back when I only had two kids , who were still tiny and cute!
Beware if you have cholesterol problems! Just have a little slice, because it is so truly yummy!
