Wadai Ceper (Traditional Cake From Banjar Balikpapan)

in #food19 days ago

Good Morning!

I baked 3 kinds of Spritz cookies yesterday, made me happy. If I didn't run out of butter, I would have baked at least 1 more flavor 😁 I think 3 flavors are enough, for 4 of us. We don't have relatives nor neighbors who celebrate Eid Ul Fitr here in Canada, so we never baked bazillion cookies to serve anyone but ourselves 😁

For today's recipe share, this cake comes in many varieties, sometimes 2 layers, sometimes 3 layers. Depending what the layers are made of, they have different names too, however, they are all referred as Wadai Ceper, due to the round or square pan.

Prepare the next layer. Mix everything until combined, then pour half of it onto the pandan layer on the pan. Steam for 10-15 minutes, then pour the rest of the batter. This time, steam for 15-20 minutes

Cool cake completely before slicing. I flipped the cake, so bottom layer to top, and vice versa 😊

Enjoy!
