Indonesian Spice Cake
About Indonesian Spice Cake
So back with a bang with a decadent and delicious cake for you all!This time from Indonesia all the way into our hearts comes one of the most magnificent looking,soft,spongy and delicious cake รขโฌโ the Spice Cake from Indonesia!
I added Refined Oil in place of the unsalted butter the recipe generally used.Butter turns out a fluffier cake but in tropical countries like India and hot regions like Mumbai,the butter in the cake tends to go bad after a couple of days thus ruining the cake completely.While refrigerated,the butter solidifies which does not offer a tasty bite as intended.So the best substitute is ordinary refined Oil which we use for cooking!Neither does it solidify on chilling nor go sour at room temperature.It can be safely kept at room temperature for 24 hours thereafter has to be refrigerated to maintain the freshness.Then it stays fresh tasting for approximately 15 days.Whenever you want to have it,keep it outside 1 hour before eating.Or pop into a microwave to warm it!Follow the recipe without any other adjustments for a completely perfect and awesome cake which will be always there as a keeper recipe.
