Van der Meulen Indiesche Cake

Van der Meulen's Indiesche Cake (Indonesian-style cake) is a traditional Dutch-manufactured baked good inspired by colonial-era flavors. Often referred to as 'Lapis Legit' or spice cake variants, these are produced in the Netherlands to cater to the local market's historical affinity for Indonesian cuisine.

The brand Van der Meulen was founded in 1910 by Hessel van der Meulen in Hallum, Friesland. It originally started as a small bakery and evolved into a large-scale industrial producer of rusks, melba toast, and specialty cakes. The company remains a family-owned entity, maintaining its headquarters and primary production facilities in the Netherlands. Locally, it acts as its own producer and distributor, often found in major Dutch supermarkets like Albert Heijn or Jumbo.
