The name for lapis chocolate in Manado is Balapis Manado, a snack that is widely available in stalls or cake shops. Including one of my family’s favorite cakes…
Again, the family asked for a chocolate layer cake to be made, even though it took patience to make it, so just do it, it’s more economical to make it yourself.
This layer can be made beautiful, with a variety of colors and scents. But, because at home the most preferred is only brown and white, like it or not, I just want to make the standard one.
Another requirement is that the coconut milk must be thick and the chocolate must be increased…
