'''Bika
This cake is a further development of ''[[kue bingka]],'' a famous traditional cake in the eastern parts of Indonesia.
The cake is notable for its sponge-like holes, which are formed by yeast in the cake dough that creates bubbles. These holes give it a unique spongy texture when it is baked. It is a close analogue of the [[Malay sponge cake]], due to similar spongy holes, but the moisture and texture are slightly different.
Although the name contains the word "Ambon", the name of an [[Ambon Island|island]] and its largest [[Ambon, Maluku|city]], Bika Ambon is widely known as the specialty cake of [[Medan]] in [[North Sumatra]] and often brought as a gift by those whom visited the city. The origins of Bika Ambon are not known; however, there is some speculation that they came to Medan through Ambonese traders, where the locals took a liking to it. Mojopahit Street, Medan Petisah is a most famous sales region of Bika Ambon in Medan, [[North Sumatra]]. There are at least 40 stores that sell this kind of cake.▼
