Savoury Soft Beef Cake (Gadon)

Savoury soft beef cake (Gadon) is typical Mid-Javanese dish.

It has unique savoury taste and totally different with usual
cake. Gadon is good for person who got sore throat or
stomach-ache, because this food has soft texture but has a lot
of great nutrients. Also, this soft beef cake is good for your
diet because it contains fewer calories than the sweet cake.
Beside of that the beef cake is very suitable to feed the crowd
and very easy to make. The taste of brandy makes this cake
certainly irresistible.
