Spekkoek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spekkoek is a Dutch-Indonesian pastry. The pastry was developed during colonial times in the Dutch East Indies. It was probably based on Dutch cake recipes but using local ingredients.[citation needed]

The name of the pastry is derived from the typical bi-coloured layered structure which reminds one of bacon (lit. bacon-cake). This layered structured is achieved by using two colours of batter which are poured on top of the cured layer consecutively. This makes the baking of Spekkoek a very labour intensive process.
