Indonesian Layer Cake ( Kueh Lapis)

This Layer Cake is my four thousand gold favorite snack. I know why, they love the peeling part of the cake while eating it. Somehow, i noticed this cake is nice to be eaten in small pieces. Not only them, perhaps I believe no one can refrain from the aromatic and rich in flavor dessert like this. It definitely stands for a very important part during tea time. It needs a lot of time and patience to do this therefore it is not a ordinary cake. This time i was a bit rush therefore I'm using 2 baking trays to make this instead of one, or else you would be able to see more layers. Tell you what this picture that you are seeing right now, actually the cake are all gone, my daughters gobbled all at the same day. They just can't stop eating it. Try it out yourself and you will know!
