Batik cake. 🍰💕

Batik Cake, better known locally with its Malay name Kek Batik, is a very popular cake among Malaysians, especially in East Malaysia. It is believed that this cake originated in Sarawak but it’s just as big in its neighboring state, Sabah, as well. We just know that this cake is a must-have for many families in East Malaysia during Hari Raya celebrations.

You only need a few ingredients to make this cake: Marie biscuits, walnut, dark chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, butter, condensed milk, and eggs.

INGREDIENTS :

130 g Marie biscuits (any brand), roughly broken into 450 g walnuts (roughly chopped)100 g dark chocolate chips30 g cocoa powder50 g unsalted butter or margarine100 g condensed milk50 g caster sugar, Deli Fresh eggs, lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS :

Melt chocolate chips, cocoa powder, butter, condensed milk and sugar in a saucepan on medium-low heat. Ideally you should use a bottom-heavy saucepan as it burns less easily.

1) Keep stirring the chocolate mixture on medium-low heat until fully melted and well combined. Remove from heat.

2) Stir in eggs and whisk with a wire whisk until the eggs are well incorporated into the chocolate mixture.

3) Return the saucepan to the heat and continue strring with the wire whisk on medium-low heat until the chocolate custard mixtue thickens and forms a paste. Remove from heat immediately or the mixture may burn. Mix in the Marie biscuits and chopped walnuts into the chocolate custard mixture and stir with a large metal spoon until the biscuits and walnuts are well coated.

4) Press the mixture into a small rectangular cake/bread tin lined with tupperware. And the last one you need to put the cake in the fridge.
