Oreo Kek Lapis

Been wanting to try baking this for the longest time. But the process, amount of eggs always deter me from doing it. I cant imagine standing in front of the oven or rather in and out of kitchen for a good 2-3 hours without disturbance from the kids so I always put it off. 

I baked approximately 8-9 layers which I cant even remember exactly. Haha. I only know I bring in and out of oven MANY TIMES! 😂😂😂 Cake batter I seems to overmix slightly, or did I accidentally overmix or undermix the butter portion. It sort of curdle a bit. Whites was slightly overbeat too! 🙈🙈 🙈 Tastewise was ok, I think can add a bit more spice for the taste. Texture is ok, except 1-2 layers I think a bit underbaked? Not too sure either as I need to make again to know! 🤔🤔 I wonder when will i have the courage! 

I wrap the bigger ones in cling. Apparently need to be kept a day in airtight for the flavour and oil to be released. Keeping fingers crossed tml will be better. But i dunno why my bottom layers seems a bit oilier. Need to study again if its normal! 

Kids will get some for school snack. Hope they enjoy this simple Oreo kek lapis that Mummy baked for them! 

After giving them out for friends to taste, I am glad most are positive reviews, even from my hubby. And I am left with the sides which I trim from the cakes. Also very yummy le. I wonder what does the bakery does with those trimmed sides?
