Small Caramel cake
with peanuts layer

(Lontong Paris)

Ever try this delicious Indonesian caramel cake? It’s just so delightful desserts. The taste is heavenly but it’s not good for your diet. This is certainly not a low calorie recipe, but it’s so irresistible.

The taste is as delightful as the city of Paris

In Indonesia we call this small caramel cake as “lontong Paris”. When I heard the name for the first time, I didn’t even think that this would be such as delicious desserts.

I thought more as a dish, because “lontong” mean rice roll, and Paris, of course the capital city of delightful France. So it means rice roll from Paris, but that’s not at all, this is the name of this caramel dessert with peanuts.

And I can assure you the taste is such as delightful as the city of Paris.
