After two different Asian countries, today we ar going to land in Indonesia. Indonesia cuisine is quite as much as like our own Indian cuisine. Yes spicy foods have their own place in their cooking, most of their cooking style sounds very aromatic and flavourful. Trust me they use loads of herbs and spices in their cooking. However this cuisine is also quite an interesting cuisine to explore. I have cooked already few dishes from this cuisine and more to come. Today am sharing an interesting dessert from this cuisine. And this dish is called Bingka Telur which means Egg and Coconut milk cake. This cake is one of the easiest dessert that one can make even if you dont have much experience in cooking. I grabbed this dessert from Anita's Daily Cooking Quest.  In Indonesia, Bingka Telur is baked in a special flower shaped baking pan, but Anita baked her cake with a round cake pan. While i baked this cake in a square pan.
