'''Bika ambon''' or '''golden cake''' or '''golden kuih bingka''' in Singapore,isan [[Indonesian cuisine|Indonesian]] dessert made from ingredients such as [[tapioca]] flour, [[egg (food)|egg]]s, [[sugar]], yeast and [[coconut milk]]. Bika 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.

"Bika Ambon" is generally sold in [[pandanus|pandan]] and [[banana]] flavor, but today it is also available in other flavors like [[durian]], [[cheese]] and [[chocolate]].



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.

This cake is a further development of ''[[kue bingka]],'' a famous traditional cake in the eastern parts of Indonesia.



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 is often brought as a gift by those who 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 the most famous sales region of Bika Ambon in Medan, [[North Sumatra]]. There are at least 40 stores that sell this kind of cake.
