Batik cake (in Malay: Kek batik) is a yummy fridge cake from Malaysia. It's a type of dessert that doesn't need baking! This cake was inspired by a British treat called tiffin. The British brought the idea to Malaysia a long time ago. Malaysians then made it their own using local ingredients.
To make Batik cake, people mix broken Marie biscuits. These biscuits are coated in a rich chocolate sauce. This sauce is usually made with eggs, butter or margarine, condensed milk, Milo powder, and chocolate powder. It's a popular treat. People often enjoy Batik cake during special times. These include holidays like Eid al-Fitr and Christmas.
