Hi there...

Today is our second day in practical week, and we have made traditional cake that’s called “Lapis Legit”. Lapis legit it’s one of traditional cake from Indonesia that made from butter, flour, egg yolk, sugar and it has a special spice that called spekkoek, spekkoek is spice consist of cinnamon powder, clove powder and cardamom powder. Spekkoek also give special flavor for Lapis Legit cake.

And today i have made the Lapis Legit cake with my groups, that is Aulia, Sendy, Raiz, Dio, Usman and subhan. But Subhan and Usman have another job to done so, it’s only 5 of us that made the Lapis Legit cake.

It’s quite a hard cake to made actually, beside it’s our first time making it, it also need patiently, accuracy and carefully. Because it has really thin layers but it’s still moist when you bite it. So that’s the challenge. Mr. Ichal said he asked us to made Lapis Legit cake because, when we success to made it, it means we can made a few another traditional Lapis cake.

So the first this we do before making the Lapis Legit cake is prepare the ingredients, in the first my groups and I are little bit worry to make the Lapis Legit cake because we afraid that our cake is filed. But we have to keep trying and do our best.

After we prepared the ingredients, we divide job. And we started to make it. First, mix the butter until pale and soft, then in separate bowl mix the egg yolks, sugar, and emulsifier until pale and proof. After that mix with dry ingredients, like flour, milk powder, and the spekkoek spice. After mixed all, separate the batter in two bowls, and give cocoa powder to one of the bowls.

Pour the batter to the mould with pastry bag, but don’t too thick. Then bake it with salamander. And pour it layer to layer with different color. After it all done, bake again with oven 180°c at 15 minutes.

After we saw the results, Thank God it pretty nice I think. And i’m quite happy for the result. Although Mr. Wawan said it’s more like sponge cake and Mr. Ichal said yesterday another student made it better. But overall i’m quite happy. And the taste it’s also good.
