Sarawak Peppermint Layered Cake (Kek Lapis Peppermint) - Again

During festive period when making many layered cakes, surely there was leftover egg whites which I happily turned them into this delicious cake! Some people commented that it is like eating tooth paste (minus the cake) but for many they love the peppermint flavor....

The recipe has been shared earlier but reposting here for readers' convenience. I added chopped cranberries this time and very nice.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Kek Lapis Peppermint kesukaan anak2 Along.... rasa nya memang lah berangin dan ada yang kata cam rasa ubat gigi.... hahahaaa... tapi tak lah kuat sangat rasa berangin tu, letak sikit untuk flavor jer. Along suka buat kek ni untuk menghabiskan lebihan telur putih selepas buat kek lapis yg guna telur kuning sahaja. Kek ni tak boleh bakar lama sangat sebab nanti tekstur nya kering tapi jika betul cara bakar nya tekstur nya lembab dan lembut. Setelah banyak kali buat ni barulah kek yang Along buat bertambah baik hasil nya.... trial and error baru tau sendiri. Kali ni Along kasi sukatan telur putih dalam gram sebab kalau tak tepat tekstur kek berubah, so Along sukat supaya hasil nya konsisten setiap kali.

Kali ni Along tambahkan cranberries kering.... sedap sangat!
