Three Layers Cake (Kue Lapis Surabaya)

Prepared three 9 Square baking pan. Grease with cooking spray then line up with parchment paper. (I like grease my top parchment paper too)

Beat egg yolks and sugar until ribbon stage. Foldin sieved plain flour. Pour the butter into egg yolks mixture, gently mix withspatulatil well incorporated

Divided into 3 bowls. Let 2 bowls with plain color, and add choco powder and chocolate syrup or (chocolate paste) on the third bowl, mixed it well.

Pour the batter into 3 pans spreading evenly, then bake in preheated oven of 350 F for 12-15 minutes til it done(when the toothpick comes out clean).

Take them from the oven, let them sit for awhile then take off the parchment paper.

To assembly: When the cakes are cooled, place one of the plain (yellow) cake and spread the top with jam, top with chocolate layer.

Spread the top of chocolate layer with jam, and top with the other of plain cake.
Cover the cake with parchment paper and give a little pressure so that each cake sticks together.

For me I like to wrap up with the aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cut and served.

But of course you can cut and served right away after assembly. And enjoy the three layers cake with a cup of coffee, or tea

Keep the leftovers in the refrigerator, this cake is very good to enjoy either warm or cold.

Happy Baking

Note: If you have only 1 baking pan, you can baked it for three times.
