Adee Cake, Adee Kak Nah, Aceh
In Aceh, there is a traditional cake made from cassava as a main ingredient for coffee or tea. It's called Ade Kak Nah cake. How to make it is to peel the cassava, wash it until clean. Then put it in a grinder. Continue by filtering the cassava mixture. Do several filterings so that the content of the cassava is completely gone.
Next, grate the coconut and take the coconut milk. After that, we just make the cake mixture. Add granulated sugar and cassava. So that the granulated sugar is smooth, it is better to stir it first with eggs, salt and vanilla, until it foams. Only after that, stir it with the cassava mixture. This process is very important for the cake when it is cooked later. So, you have to be careful, don't make a mistake. Then the cake mixture is mixed with coconut milk, then pour the mixture into a baking pan that has been greased with oil so that it doesn't stick. Bake in an oven at 350° c for 1 hour. In the past, Adee cake could only be tasted during the month of Ramadan, or at wedding parties. In fact, it can only be found in the Pidie Jaya area. About 2 and a half hours from Banda Aceh.
Since 2005, Adee cake has become easy to find. Because it is widely sold in cake shops in the city of Banda Aceh as a souvenir. Because it is made without preservatives, Adee cake can only last a maximum of 3 days. Enjoying an Adee cake accompanied by a glass of Sanger or typical Aceh milk coffee, mbeehhhh...it's already the winner 😋 Now it's time for a snack, here is the Adee cake. If you look at its shape, this typical Acehnese snack resembles a bingkang cake, bika. The difference is, bingkang is made from a mixture of pandan and coconut only. For Adee cake, there are additional spices and fried onions. Can you imagine the sweet and savory taste, basically it's delicious.
Just for information, friend, Adee cake comes from Pidie Jaya. This cake made from cassava has a distinctive texture and taste. Chewy... chewy. Unfortunately, the origin of the name Adee cake is not yet clear. But that's okay, the most important thing is that Adee cake still survives the onslaught of modern cakes. Bro, one of the legendary shops that sells Adee cake is Kak Nah's shop. Kak Nah's shop has been around since 1992.
One pan of Adee cake costs 30 thousand rupiah. Even though the size of the pan is quite large. But that's what makes Adee cake so popular. Bro, Adee cake from cassava is usually made from cheese cassava or white cassava. Because both types of cassava have denser fiber and less water content, so they are used as basic ingredients for cakes.
Greetings always compact.
