Indonesian Spiced Layered Cake













We had a customer today that requested the traditional Indonesian Spiced Layered Cake for Valentine's Day.  This cake is famous in the Southeast regions of Asia and is flavored with cinnamon, cloves and ginger.

In Asia, this cake is usually purchased or given as a gift during the Lunar New Year and is eaten very sparingly, because of it's richness and cost. Having said that, it is hard to describe the pleasure of biting into one of these slices. You will have to try it to experience it's imploding taste.

Oh and did you know that cloves and ginger are aphrodisiac spices? Now that's a cake to feed your loved one on Valentine's Day!!
