Breudher (Dutch Influenced Sri Lankan Buttery yeast Cake)



Breudher is a Dutch influenced buttery cake. This is was very popular when I was a kid. It was available during christmas and new year season. But it faded away and was not available in shops after. But I have my childhood memories which takes me almost 30-35 years back. I loved the taste and the texture of that cake. This cake gives the same taste and texture and I am still loving it. Try this recipe for christmas or new year and let me know the results. :)

  1. Your recipe looks correct (well the same as my SL mother-in-law's, from her mother ....) It works well. I may try a little nutmeg in the dough this year, tho the recipe doesn't need improvement. I must pass on the recipe to my children who really enjoy the cake with Edam cheese on Christmas eve / New Year's day - which ever day we happen to be together here in Australia.

  4. Hello Chef Menaka! I love your recipes by the way! I was wondering, if I didn't have a proper bundt pan, would it be okay to bake the breudher in a regular circular cake pan? Thank you! :)
