Kue cubit is aSoutheast Asian snack, originating fromIndonesia. It is common snack food served in manyIndonesian cities. It is a cake, around 4 centimetres (1.6 in) in diameter. The sellers of this snack usually operate near schools or traditional markets. Kue cubit usesflour,baking powder,sugar andmilk as its primary ingredients. The liquid dough is poured into a steel plate with several small round basins so that it will form a round shape when cooked, and poured withmeises (chocolatesprinkles) on top of it. The sellers usually use a special hooked stick to take the cake off from the steel plate.
The cake is called kue "cubit" (Indonesian:pinch)[1] because of its small size: to eat it one has to pinch it. Another variant is called kue "laba-laba" (Indonesian:spider), referring to its spider-web-like form created by pouring the liquid dough spread around the steel plate. The cake is related to theDutchpoffertjes.
