Speckoek
Spekkoek (ID: Spekuk or Lapis Zakonit) is an Indonesian cake made during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia. The idea was probably derived from a similar type of cake of German origin, but was adapted to the resources available in Dutch Dutch consolidated Indonesia. Today it is prepared in the Netherlands, and sells for € 6 per piece of this cake.

Serving
I decorated the cake with hazelnuts that I stuck on a toothpick, and dipped it in caramel and turned it to make a thread for me, and waited for the caramel to tighten.
