Dutch Heritage Snack

From its unique name, you may guess that klappertaart is not originally an Indonesian local cuisine. Yes, this culinary is indeed a Dutch colonial heritage, especially in the land of Minahasa. At that time, klappertaart was brought by Dutch traders. However, its distribution was limited to Manado only, so klappertaart is now identified with typical Minahasa snacks.

The name klappertaart itself is derived from the words 'klapper' and 'taart'. In Dutch, klapper means coconut, while taart means cake. Literally, klappertaart means coconut cake.

Signature Cake of Manado

Nowadays, klappertaart is more known as a typical cake from Minahasa, which often becomes one of Manado's favorite souvenirs. As the name suggests, klappertaart is made from coconut, flour, milk, butter, and eggs.

This cake, made by baking or steaming, has a distinctive aroma of cinnamon and chopped walnuts. The difference is that the baked version has a denser texture, while the steamed version is softer, similar to melting custard when enjoyed.

As it evolves, this sweet and savory cake comes in various flavor variations. From chocolate, cheese, rum, raisin, blueberry to durian. Moreover, klappertaart becomes more addictive when served cold.
