Sugee cake is a staple at festivities in Singapore, be it a wedding or Christmas. The cake is made with semolina and almonds and an extraordinarily large number of egg yolks which give it a certain richness.

Much like our Christmas Cake, every family has their own recipe and their own way of decorating it. Options include with icing or marzipan or simply as it comes. We went for the latter, but maybe next time I would choose to add a bit of icing. Thank you to Sweet Additions for the recipe.

The cake is quite pudding-like and goes well with a cup of coffee. Enjoy!
