"Bika Ambon"ambon is generally sold in [[pandanus|pandan]] and [[banana]] flavor, but today it is also available in other flavors like [[durian]], [[cheese]] and [[chocolate]]. Originating from the city of [[Medan]] in [[North Sumatra]], the cake is usually cooked twelve hours, so that it can last in the best condition and according to what is desired for four days because after that the cake starts to harden.
 
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 was formed by yeast in the cake dough that creates bubbles. This holes gives it a unique spongy texture when it is baked. Its close analogue probably is the [[Malay sponge cake]], due to similar spongy holes, but the moists and texture is actually slightly different. ▼
