Klappertaart

Klappertaart

Klappertaart is a traditional Indonesian dessert that originated from Manado, North Sulawesi. It is a delicious cake made from young coconut meat, eggs, sugar, and flour. The name "klappertaart" is derived from the Dutch word "klapper," which means coconut.

Ingredients

To make klappertaart, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500 grams of young coconut meat, grated
• 200 grams of sugar
• 150 grams of all-purpose flour
• 5 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). 2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined. 3. Add the grated coconut meat, flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. 4. Grease a round cake pan with butter or cooking spray. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top of the cake turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 7. Once baked, remove the klappertaart from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. 8. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Serving

Klappertaart is typically served at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Some people also like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top for added sweetness.

Variations

While the traditional klappertaart recipe uses basic ingredients, there are variations that incorporate additional flavors. Some popular variations include adding raisins, almonds, or chocolate chips to the batter. These additions give the cake a unique twist and enhance its taste.
