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.

  • For the cake, put the butter in a large mixing bowl with the caster sugar and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the milk, egg yolks and vanilla extract. Sift over the flour and baking powder, then fold in using a large metal spoon.
  • Heat the grill to high (see tip). In a clean bowl using clean beaters, beat the egg whites and salt until the egg whites form stiff peaks that don’t flop over when the beaters are removed. Add 1 large spoonful into the yolks/flour to loosen, then, using a metal spoon, fold in the rest of the egg whites quickly and carefully until you have a light, smooth batter. Spoon half the mixture back into the bowl you whisked the egg whites in, then fold in the cinnamon, cloves, ground ginger and grated nutmeg.
  • Spoon just enough of the unspiced cake batter into the prepared cake tin to cover the base (use about 4 tbsp). This layer will be a little thicker than the others to get going. Put under the grill to cook for 2-3 minutes – it should be cooked through and a little golden on top.
  • Spoon 2-3 tbsp of the spiced batter mixture into the cake tin, spreading it out evenly once again to cover the previous layer. Repeat the cooking process under the grill.
