Lapis Strawberry Ice Cream Cake

Lapis Strawberry Ice Cream is made of both Strawberry and Vanilla Ice cream powder and real ice cream. Yes! you can bake ice cream.... The cake is done by grilling each layer by 2 layered of Vanilla followed by 2 Strawberry flavour and repeating the process until the last batter showing the layering effects.

One of the most 'delicate cake making' has to the family of Lapis Cake (traditional Asian Layered cake). The cake appearance and taste should be moist, technique of layering consistent, grilling each layer and finally the taste of fusion in it. When Rubiah had requested for this class-Lapis Strawberry Ice cream cake, I was thinking to myself... wow not an easy cake. So I had to carefully planned that it's fully hands-on class so that I can evaluate it immediately and give the fullest technique of baking it.

Three student joined me this week, Rubiah, Siti and Ain. Girls.... there more rooms for improvement, always practise and keep up the good work!!
