Kek Lapis Sarawak

Kek Lapis is a local favourite – an elaborately baked cake with multiple and colourful layers that is not only a feast to the eyes but to the palate. The Sarawak Layer cake is often baked during the cultural or religious occasions, birthdays and weddings. This cake has a firm texture with perfectly-spaced layers and a lightly sweet taste.

"Kek Lapis Sarawak (Sarawak Layer Cake) is cone of the handcraft introduced by the old generation of Sarawak. With the patients and concentration, Kek Lapis Sarawak nowadays is offered with unique patterns and various flavors."
















Kek Lapis Sarawak has been around much longer than that, as it is traditionally the main staple for the Malays as they celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri (the end of Ramadan, the fasting month). The cakes are interesting as it was almost always colourful, use lots of eggs (sometime about 30 eggs for one loaf of cake), and kept stored in the refrigerator for six months! And it tastes good too!
