Indonesian layer cake

This cake is also known as Dutch layer cake due to Indonesia used to be colonized by them. But I have yet to find the Dutch recipe for comparison.

This cake involves 25 egg yolks and hours of grilling, layer by layer. The first layer was baked and subsequently the rest were grilled. So if you do not have 2-3 hours to spare, and lotsa patience sitting by the oven, then this is not the cake to bake. Now I know why they charge so much for this cake.My husband asked what is with the beeping every few minutes ;)

But if you do bake it, you will know the time you spent in the kitchen is well worth it. It is sooo good..my mum-in-law who is part Irish/Scottish said she never had anything like this before. We were both gobbling it down in front of the tv.

If you want to try to bake it yourself, the recipe can be found here
