Butter Layered Cake

This kek lapis is made with 12 egg yolks.It is more healthier version of kek lapis recipe that i adapted from the baking book 'Fruity Cakes' by Alex Goh. i also got other two recipes for making kek lapis but its required to use 20 egg yolks. It is not good for our health especially for those who have high cholesterol. As this is my first attempt to make kek lapis, the final result is not so bad except that it tastes a bit sweet.
