Daily Activity (English Version) #15 " Made the Lapis Legit "

     On the first day I was said about Bakpia, and apparently today not only Bakpia was made, but also made the Lapis Legit. So, our lecturer divided the 12 teams into two parts, odd teams made the Bakpia, while even teams made the Lapis Legit. Incidentally my team was an even team. Fyi, all of teams same as the Croissant teams that consist of 3 peoples.

     Lapis Legit is a cake that has a strong spices flavor, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and clove, also known as spekuk powder. The special characteristic of this cake is has many layers, so it take a long times about 4-5 hours, because it need a lot of patiences to maintain the consistency of each layers. The things to consider when make this cake is before add the batter, first press the cake surface until solid. If there're bubbles, just pierce the toothpick to remove the airs, and also don't forget to spread the butter to keep it moist and the layers aren't stick together. And also don't forget to always stir the batter before add to remove the bubbles.
