INDONESIAN SPICE CAKE (SPEKKUK BUMBU)



Indonesian Spice Cake (Spekkuk Bumbu) image

This recipe is one of my favorites that I make often, it's from the cookbook, Cradle of Flavor: Home Cooking from the Spice Island of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, by James Oseland. It's a butter rich cake that was introduced into Indonesian cookery during 4 centuries of Dutch rule. This version of the cake is made in a bundt pan .The cake has traditionally been made in thin layers, however as James Oseland points out,, " although the layered cake is lovely to look at, it tastes the same as single-layer spekkuk, it's made with the same batter; but the bundt pan version is much easier to make."

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 bundt cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cake flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
1/2 teaspoon clove, ground
4 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
1 pinch salt
3/4 lb butter, unsalted (3 sticks)
1 2/3 cups sugar
4 eggs, large
3 egg yolks, large, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit; grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl, resift the sifted flour along with the baking powder, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and salt; resift one more time, then set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened butter until it is soft and very pliant, about one minute, gradually add the sugar and beat on high speed until it is pale and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat in the 4 whole eggs by hand, one at a time, until the butter and egg mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture in 3 equal parts, beating on low speed (or stirring with a wooden spoon) until the batter is smooth and the flour is well combined with the butter and eggs; add the lightly beaten egg yolks and the vanilla, and continue to beat or stir until they are well mixed into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it until the surface is even; then place the pan in the middle reack of the oven and bake about one hour, test with a wooden pick; this cake will nearly double in size as it cooks.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes, when cool enough , invert the cake onto a wire rack to finish cooling; then transfer the cake to a serving platter and sprinkle the top with sifted confectioner's sugar.

SPEKKOEK (THOUSAND LAYER SPICE CAKE)



Spekkoek (Thousand Layer Spice Cake) image

A Dutch/Indonesian butter cake, best-known for being served with coffee after the ever-popular Dutch/Indonesian rijsttaffel. A good Spekkoek will have at least 12 layers or more. The heat of the grill browns the top of each layer, giving the cut cake its neat horizontal striped look. Spekkoek will keep moist and fresh in a cake tin or in the fridge for a week, well wrapped in a greaseproof paper. It can also be frozen if wrapped in a layer of aluminium foil. Because of the richness of the cake, it tends to be served in very small pieces, usually thin slices.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb butter, softened
1 cup sugar
10 large eggs, separated
1 pinch salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon clove
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Beat in egg yolks. In another bowl, using clean beaters, beat egg whites with salt until stiff. Fold into yolk mixture. Fold in flour.
  • Divide batter between two bowls. Add combined spices to one bowl; stir well.
  • Line the bottom of a buttered 9" round cake pan (or springform pan) with wax paper and butter the wax paper. Pour about 1/2 cup of the spice batter into the pan, spreading to form a thin layer. Place pan under a preheated broiler for 2 minutes, or until the layer is firm and very lightly browned. Spread 1/2 cup of the plain batter over the top and broil until firm. Repeat layering and broiling until all batter is used.
  • Let cake cool, then remove from pan. Sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar. Serve in thin slices with strong, hot coffee.
