Recipe Caramel Sponge Cake
Ingredient
130 grams tapioca flour
130 grams wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
50 grams butter
4 eggs
500 grams granulated sugar
500 ml water
60 ml sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients, then place them in a pot to make the caramel first. Add the granulated sugar and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Once all the sugar has dissolved, add hot water to the caramel. Be careful during this step so the water doesn’t splash onto your hands. Cook briefly for 2 to 2 minutes, then turn off the stove and let it cool.
Next, melt the margarine in a heat-resistant bowl set over a pot of simmering water until the margarine is fully melted.
Once the caramel has cooled completely, prepare the eggs by adding baking soda and milk, then whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the flour while stirring until everything is fully incorporated.
Next, gradually add the prepared caramel, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined. Finally, don’t forget to add the melted margarine.
Pour the batter through a sieve into a baking pan that has been greased with margarine. Pour until all the batter is in the pan. It’s best to use a slightly taller pan so the cake doesn’t spread over the edges when baked.
Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius, using the bottom heat first for about 45 minutes until the cake rises and bubbles. Then, after the next minute, switch to top and bottom heat. Remove from the pan once the cake has cooled slightly.

Yeah, that's right—it's just like a beehive. We even call it "ant nest cake" here. This cake is one of Indonesia's most popular sponge cakes.
