Kek Lapis Ice Cream

"Kek Lapis" is Malay for "Layered Cake." Therefore you should know what "Kek Lapis Ice Cream" means.....that's right! Ice-cream layered cake! Traditionally, Kek Lapis originated from Sarawak, Malaysia and is now a popular favourite even in Singapore. It is commonly seen during the Malay festive season and comes in all kinds of colours and flavours unimaginable; Blueberry, Durian, Mango, Vanilla, Chocolate..etc. =) Making Kek Lapis requires alot of skill, accuracy and most importantly patience. This is because, the different layers are baked one at a time! My first attempt in layering was on the Kek Lapis Ice Cream. This layered cake has strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ice-cream in it. Delicious!
