Spekkoek, Indonesian Layer Cake, Lapis Lengit, Kek Lapis, 印尼千層蛋糕

Kek Lapis or known as spekkoek in dutch is very famous in south east asia. It is nice, and need a lots of patience to make it cause it needs to bake step by step.
Many of malays or indonesian will make it during new year. You can buy it too, but homemade one will taste better and healthier!!!!!! Yoga Bosa recipes need 30 egg yolks but by florence, it only needs 10 yolks and it is not so sweet!!!!! Thanks florence!!!!!!!!
