30 Days of Indonesia #10 – Kue Kacamata

Hi friends,

Hope your Saturday is lovely. It’s very windy here and pretty cold. I planned to prepare some kind of ice dessert for this evening, but maybe will prepare cupcakes instead, I don’t know yet, can’t make up my mind for now 😅

Here I am hiding in my basement library as the boys are screaming bloody murder to each other. They are playing zombies 🤣 But my gosh, they can be super loud.

Continuing my 30 Days of Indonesia series, I made these cake slices called Kue Kacamata (Mata Roda) – literally translated as Eye Glasses or old style Car Wheels, since they are sliced round-shaped. I’d rather call them Unicorn/Rainbow Slice though, as they are pretty colorful 😉

This traditional cake is originally from Central Java and my boys especially my oldest likes it very much.
