MarFel's Kitchen Indonesian Layer Cake (Kueh Lapis Legit) Recipe

 

Hi.. hi..
To make Kue Lapis Legit, it will take about 2 hours for the preparation and 2 hours for the baking process. So just be prepared, my friends...:)

Here is our Kueh Lapis Recipe with some tips..

Any comments, feedback or questions are welcome.. And please leave your comment about your cake result..

Ingredients:

25 egg yolks

5 egg whites

450 gr butter

350 gr sugar

4 tbsp condensed milk

170 gr plain flour (or 150 gr flour; 20 gr powder milk)

 Steps:

1. Cream butter and sugar until white and creamy. 

2. Add egg yolks, condensed milk, beat again until well mixed (not more than 5 minutes).

3. Shift flour and powder milk onto the batter, fold in using spatula.

4. Beat egg whites until stiff and then fold in the mixture using spatula until well mixed.

5. Grease and line an 8″ square tin (spread tin bottom part with thin layer of margarine, put on a square cake paper, spread again the bottom part with thin layer of margarine). Preheat the oven (200 degree C - top and bottom heat for 7 minutes).

6. Spread 1 small cup of the batter in tin and bake in oven with 180 degree C bottom heat for 8 - 10 minutes or until the surface yellowish & a little bit dry. Change with top heat (also 180 degree C) for about  2 - 3 minutes or until the cake surface is golden brown.

7. For subsequent layers: spread again 1 small cup of the batter and grill with 180 degree C top heat for about 4 minutes or until the cake surface is golden brown. Do not grill to long (or do not grill until the cake surface is dark brown), as the longer it is, the harder the cake will be.

8. For the most top layer: grill with 180 degree C top heat for about 3 minutes or until the surface is yellowish brown. Change the heat to 180 degree C bottom heat for about 7 minutes to finalize the baking, to make sure all of the parts are well done.

9. Immediately, slip a thin spatula on the cake edges to remove the edge parts from the tin, so that the edge will be neat.
10. Immediately, turn the cake out onto a metal grid, since if it's too long in the hot tin the cake will be shrinking. To make square pattern: after 5 minutes change the position/ turn it 90 degree horizontally (how to do it is: put the cake back into the tin (make sure the cake surface is on top), and then position it again onto the metal grid)). Let it cool completely before cutting. But feedback from my daughter is: it's best when it's served warm. Feedback from other friend is: it's best if you put it in the fridge first and then put in normal room temperature before served. You could try by your self to know which one is your preference :)
