After a long while of not baking anything, I finally baked Belacan cake as it is called in Sarawak.
The appearance of this cake looks like belacan(shrimp paste), hence the name given. Many people loves Belacan cake and has been making for ages although I have no idea when it started. I first have a taste of this cake sometime back in the nineties at a friend's house during Chinese New Year visit.
This cake is very sweet because of the condensed milk and sugar. I have used less sugar and less sweetened condensed milk but cannot less too much of the condensed milk for fear the cake might not be nice. It's okay to less than half the amount of sugar than to less condensed milk.
Give this recipe a try!
