Lapis Legit Laris Manis
Roasted almond bits topping off layers of egg goodness.Well, this was my first attempt in making layer cakes - the more commonly known to Indonesians as Kue Lapis Legit. The process of making this cake is hideously tedious (baking only takes 2 hours!!) and since the cake mix uses so much egg yolks (17 eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~ i felt guilty in eating it cuz i felt like killing 17 eggs that could be chicken.. sigh..i've never made cakes with so much eggs in my entire life before - think of all the fat and the cholesterol!). Anyway everybody enjoyed the cake and I'm happy. Next attempt - will be better than this.
- Add in the egg yolks one by one - beat in until all mixed and incorporated together
- Mean while, heat up your oven to 180C (top flame only) and leave it for 15 minutes
- Beat in 4 egg yolks until they are stiff
- Incorporate the stiff eggwhite into the egg yolk mixture and Fold througly with a spatula
- Now get your desired baking pan (better if it has a 1.2 L capacity) and line with baking paper at the bottom of the pan only and not the sides because it causes the cake to shrink
- Then, place 3 tablespoon of cake mixture into the pan and then bake for 3 minutes
- The cake layer should have a brown and dry texture within 3 minutes, if this doesnt occur this means that your oven is not hot enough. Temperature is the key to this cake, so take good care.
- Once the layer is brown, add in another 3 table spoon of cake mixture and repeat the baking process for 3 minutes.
- Keep the temperature high until the cake has reached 3/4 height of the cake tin, then reduce the heat by 5C
- Then repeat the spooning and baking process until the mixture is finished and at the last layer, sprinkle some chopped roasted almond and bake for 3 minutes.
- Then, change the oven flame to top and bottom together to 180. Place your baking rack in the middle of the oven.
- Cover the top of your cake with tin foil to stop it from drying and burning and bake a further 15-20 minutes until the cake is cooked. (You can tell this by poking it with a bamboo skewer, and if it comes out clean, that means ur cake is cooked! YAY!) If not, then bake a further 5 minutes.
- Cool, Serve. Hooraayy!!
