Kek Gula Hangus - Caramelized Sugar Cake |
When I was a small kid, my mother used to bake this cake. I think
she might have made this cake for a cooking class for mother in our community. That
was I think 20 years ago. The cake has different sweetness. It is easy to make
but I think finding the best recipe is quite a challenge. Our office cafeteria
once sold this cake but it doesn’t have the sweetness I was looking for. As usual,
being so IT savvy and internet geek, I googled for the recipe.
Honestly, I don’t really know how to judge a recipe. I don’t know whether the recipe is good or not just by reading at the recipe. Instead of looking for recipe, I searched for the images. The most appetizing image of the cake wins my heart. The original recipe is from Almari Resepi and I am sticking with it. I’ve tried to make some modifications but to no good return. Therefore, it is best to stick to the original recipe except I added a quarter cup of water to the ingredients. This is the recipe and thank you so much Nita from http://sudipkayu.blogspot.com/.

This cake already has its own fans at my office and my
husband’s. Last Sunday I baked 4 loaves. My husband brought 3 loaves to his
office for a potluck party and I bought one. Everybody love the cake!
