Delivering Cakes from Malaysia's Best

If you skip past the crushed almond brittle on top (more on this later), this fairly unique take on a Malaysian-flavoured cake with pastry cream frosting resulted in a dessert that was, surprisingly, not overly sweet or cloying. So many bakers working with Gula Melaka as an ingredient tend to forget that this palm-sweetener has a pretty loud flavour profile and it can drown out pretty much everything else. I don't taste that happening here. The well-balanced dance between fruity banana and toffee-note cake layers doesn't outshine each other, resulting in morsels that are non-cloying.

But ignore the crushed almond brittle topping at your (gustatory) peril! This adds a welcome layer of texture to what can be otherwise a somewhat very moist cake. Arguably, the topping is magnitudes sweeter than the cake layers themselves, but they are, once again, used in just enough quantities to greatly lift the eating experience and make this cake a winner in my book.

Ordering for the first time- the cake was absolutely delightful. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet and cuts nicely. The crunchy topping on top is a nice addition (pretty sweet) but went together perfectly. Got it for a birthday party and everyone really enjoyed it! Would definitely order again.

Gula Melaka Banana Cake

Really good banana cake with banana filling, the frosting is not too sweet. The almond caramel on top of the cake added an extra crunch for texture. Everybody loved the cake.

The cake was very nice but I find it too sweet. Can’t take multiple helping in a day
