Description

🎂 Discover the legendary Lapis Surabaya - a favorite for special celebrations like Christmas, Chinese New Year, Eid al-Fitr, and birthdays! 🎉

The famous Surabaya layer cake, a succulent souvenir from the historic City of Heroes, Surabaya, Indonesia, is a moist delight that captivates everyone. 🗺️✨

This cake features three distinct layers: yellow, brown, and yellow again, showcasing its vibrant and inviting appearance. 🍰

Crafted from simple ingredients like eggs, this cake achieves a soft texture and sweet taste that's truly special. The delightful combination of savory and sweet strawberry jam makes it irresistible to both locals and tourists alike. 🌟🍓

🕰️ A Brief History:

Known as Spiku in Surabaya, the name stems from Dutch origins: spec (pork fat) and koek (cake). Despite its name, this delicious layer cake contains no pork. Its appearance, with multiple layers, resembles the fat layers in pork belly, hence the intriguing culinary etymology. 🍴

This delightful treat was perfected during the Dutch colonial era, drawing inspiration from European layer cakes. The cake's recipe was cleverly adapted by Chinese descendants in Indonesia, making it a unique blend of cultures. 👨‍🍳🇮🇩
