About Bika ambon

Bika Ambon is a traditional Indonesian dessert originating from Medan, North Sumatra. This spongy, rich cake is renowned for its unique honeycomb texture and subtle pandan aroma. Made primarily from tapioca flour, eggs, sugar, coconut milk, and yeast, Bika Ambon combines indulgent sweetness with fragrant tropical notes. While it’s gluten-free due to the tapioca base, its high sugar content and use of coconut milk make it relatively calorie-dense—something to consider for those mindful of their intake. The eggs provide a source of protein, but overall, Bika Ambon is better enjoyed as an occasional treat. Commonly served during celebrations or as gifts, this aromatic cake carries cultural significance while tantalizing taste buds with its light, chewy consistency and delicate flavor profile.
