The Story of Southeast Asian Layer Cake
Layer cake has a fascinating place in the food history of Southeast Asia.
One of its best-known ancestors is the Indonesian-Dutch spekkoek, also known as lapis legit. The cake developed during the Dutch colonial period, when European baking traditions encountered the ingredients, spices and culinary influences of the Indonesian archipelago.
Its name lapis means “layer”, referring to the distinctive construction of the cake.
Rather than baking the entire cake at once, traditional versions were painstakingly created one thin layer at a time, producing the beautiful striped appearance that became their signature.
Over generations, the tradition spread and evolved throughout the region, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, where bakers created countless variations with different flavours, colours and ingredients.
The Prune Layer Cake
Prune layer cake is a delicious evolution of this tradition.
The naturally sweet, fruity and slightly tangy character of prune complements the richness of the cake beautifully, creating a flavour that’s a little more complex than a traditional plain layer cake.
It’s an especially good choice for people who enjoy cakes that are rich and satisfying without tasting simply sweet.
Perfect with Kopi or Tea
One of the simplest ways to enjoy Delyco Prune Layer Cake is also one of the best — slice it thinly and put the kettle on.
☕ Malaysian Kopi – The bold roasted coffee flavour contrasts beautifully with the sweet, fruity cake.
🍵 Chinese Tea – Oolong or pu-erh makes a wonderful pairing with a rich layer cake.
🫖 Black Tea – A classic afternoon tea combination.
🥛 Milo or Malted Drinks – A comforting combination with a nostalgic Malaysian feel.
