As an Asian living in Australia, I remember in my childhood of the times where my mum would make these cakes at home, when she had free time. I remember her cutting them up in rectangles, and me preparing to take a slice or two for Recess the next day. I would then take out there beautifully tasty cakes to eat, and most of my friends would sometimes be wondering what it was! They usually saw me as ‘The Kid who brought unique food’, because i would have also brought at some point, Serabi, Bika Ambon, Pandan Chiffon Cake, green pancakes with coconut filling, Konnyaku, Martabak and many more! But Kueh Lapis would always stick with me. Probably because I love the smell of spices and cinnamon it gives off, plus it’s a great comfort food to me. It also seemed to be the most go-to for birthday cakes whenever we had family friend gatherings 😆
@@leehyunsong7001 Until now I don't know why my mom only have that cake on the fridge every time I visit her on the weekend. I dislike that cake to be honest, it's reminded me of my bitter sour childhood. Btw, since when kue lapis considered as a rich family cake? We are not rich, just a mid one 😁
Kue lapis are also well known in Sarawak and when you go to sarawak there are many stall sell lapis cakes with varieties of flavours.. kue lapis coklat always be my favourite
Yeah,I bought a red velvet kue lapis in Kuching and it was great 👌. I was so amazed by the variety of flavours,it took me almost 10 minutes to choose one
Kue lapis is one of the important food for Christmas in my hometown, Pontianak. I used to help and watch my mother made kue lapis, and it is a time consuming process indeed. But when it is done, the will make you want to eat it again and again

My grandma once made this for ied when i was little, and the taste was amazing!!! Since then, this is my fav cake during ied. My mom often buy this (cause she can't make it) when i comeback home during holiday, it was good, but not as good as my grandma's. It is really hard to make, especially if you make it in traditional way.
In indonesia itself you can buy either baumkuchen or kue lapis legit itself in everyday convenience store , it wasn't really that expensive to be honest ( the covenience store version) it was like $4 per log of around 100gr and the baumkuchen itself sell for $1 per slice , and sure it is a delish , my childhood fave ...
Homemade made-by-order kue lapis legit are the legit ones. But lapis legit itself is a frickin delicious cake that even the store bought ones are still awesome.
Kue Lapis Legit is quite expensive due to the amount of eggs they use.. so we would have it during special festivies like Chinese New Year or Eidl Fitr celebration.. serve them or and give them as hampers to special people
lapis legit was a fancy food in my memories. because it being expensive, we usually only have those around hari raya. still until now, even i have my own money, it's a treat having lapis legit
Every single Chinese New Year, my Ama would make 4 batches of very long lapis legit. We would cut them up thinly and crisp them back up in the oven to get a crispy taste. She's 80 now, too old to make Lapis Legit...and I'm stuck hustling in another country for my Bachelors. I miss my grandma's lapis😢
i loooove kue lapis! i always eat this cake on chinese new year here in indonesia! its very moist, buttery, sweet, and creamy with vanila scent hmm yummy! :)
When i was a kid, always eat it layer by layer to savor it longer. Now i can afford one, but i still slice it very thinly just because it taste the best for me
This is so different from a germany baumkuchen cake, but similar techniques are used to achieve the multi layers. The addition of the evaporated milk looks especially delicious. Is rum included? I am ignorant of Islamic traditions and techniques, but know croissants are a middle eastern invention. Thanks for posting. 1 day or vacation, I shall have to visit and eat that with some tea.
thank you for popping up in my recommendation, now i'm craving for one! definitely will visit your store when i'm in SG! anyway, "legit" means "sweet" in Indonesia :)
Spekkoek is the traditional name dating from 17th century Dutch colonial times. When the Dutch introduced butter and wheat flour. The Indo belandas invented this cake by adding Indonesian spice.
Spekkoek (kue lapis legit or spekuk in Indonesian) is a type of Indonesian layer cake. It was developed during colonial times in the Dutch East Indies. The firm-textured cake is an Indo (Dutch-Indonesian) version of the European multi-layered spit cake. However it is not baked on a rotating spit, and contains a mix of Indonesian spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, clove, mace and anise. The cake is made of flour and yolk and is rich in butter or margarine.
I miss having this as a snack! Being a student with little time it gets harder to find this especially in a chinese kampung area. Mannn.. Kueh lapis was my childhood~
Is kue lapis really really expensive in Singapore? In Indonesia you can find it with decent price. Or maybe because everything is expensive there comparing to indo?
I think it depends on how many eggs you put on. One of my relatives used to make this cake. She used 40 egg yolks for a cake. And also the patient you need to make the cake
We used to make this every hari raya. It's a whole day and night facing the oven. When the price of canned butter became too expensive, we stopped making it altogether
I frankly dont think a couple of layers more than a couple, say 5, has differences in taste with a 20 layer one. More for tradition than anything else IMO.
Yea i agree with you.. perhaps aesthetic but definitely not flavour.. that would come from the ingredients in the batter.. baked at the right temperature.
Tried making it a couple years back and I can say its no JOKE I ended up with some layers thick and some layers thin. Then by the time I finish the top layer the bottom layer is semi burnt and the bottom layers are so hard and dry :( I GIVE UP!

I worked this job baking kueh lapis for a few months. Its a tough job. Long standing hours, hot oven and constantly layering and turning the cakes.
That is explain why the cake is expensive >.

My mom would cut off the uneven edges of the kueh lapis and rebake them to dry them out. They made perfect biscotti cookies!💯
I’m from Germany and literally the first thing is thought when I saw this was “ITS LIKE BAUMKUCHEN”
Same 😂 #teamdeutschland
Yes. But with more eggs. Needs around 49 egg yolks and a whole egg to make 24x24cm lapis legit. This cake is full of cholesterol but so tasty.

Yes, it's actually Baumkuchen. But when the Dutch come to Asia, they modified it, maybe because they couldn't resist to put the valuable herbs in it 🤔
I love kue lapis me grandma used to make it sometimes because its allot of work but the were the best

For every calorie you ate, you subtract it by peeling the layers, so, win, I guess
