Kueh Lapis Legit or Rich Layered Cake (千层糕)

Rich, moist, fragrant and buttery; Kueh Lapis is a yummy treat. A delightful addition to the Chinese New Year snacks.

Layers of love

This cake uses a lot of ingredients and baking a layer cake is hard work. You need to station next to the oven for hours, adding batter and grilling it layer by layer. A standard cake needs at least 18 layers. Hence the exorbitant price bakeries charged.

This is not a cake for those who are watching their weight and worrying about their waist lines. This rich and buttery cake is fattening, so it is best served in small pieces.
