Yummy Layer Kek...

It has been a long time i didn't do baking last few months...
Today suddenly came out with an idea by making layer kek...
Some call it as Kek Lapis Indonesia...

This is not a Nyonya recipe but the exotic taste and
inviting aroma of layer cake is irresistable and one of my favorites.
Making Kek Lapis is a very tedious job but it is worth the
hard work when you see the beautiful layers of the cake.

I use about 3 hours for the baking process...
haha...kinda long...
Each layer needs to be bake for about 10 minutes...
so if there are more layers, more time is needed...
Since I have nothing better to do ...
This one is the best for spending my time...

Ingredients:

240g butter, 150g caster sugar, 120g plain flour,
9 egg yolks, 6 egg whites, 60g, condensed milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degree.
2. Beat soft butter and 60g sugar until light and creamy.
3. Add egg yolk one at a time and beat until combined.
4. Stir in condensed milk and vanilla essence.
5. Sift flour into the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
6. Whisk egg whites until stiff. Add 90g sugar and beat until sugar dissolved.
7. Fold egg whites into egg mixture. Stir to form batter.
8. Grease rectangular cake tin. Pour in a suitable amount of batter
and bake for 10 minutes.


This is the result... ...



I have modify the recipe slightly by making two kinds of batter.
One is vanilla flavor, another one is chocolate.
The reason why I want to do so is because of I want to make the layer look
more obviously.
I don't understand why the recipe they provide can make such a visible layer...
I can't make it, so i have to do my own way...

Layer cake is a very rich cake with very high contents of eggs and butter.
Therefore, it is usually served in very small pieces.
But mom tasted, she said it's a bit hard...
Omg, hmmp...
temperature too high? or baking time too long...
Sighzz...

Will get another try next time...
