It's one of the traditional Indo-Dutch delicacies. This cake is very popular in Indonesia which is rich in spice sources.

This cake has many names. In the south of the Netherlands, it is called "peperkoek" (or gingerbread); in the West, it is called snijkoek, and in the North, they have something similar called Oudewijvenkoek-which is lighter. People also called "Kruidkoek" or spice cake.

In Netherland, ontbijtkoek is traditionally served at breakfast with a thick layer of butter on top, as a replacement for bread, however, due to its sweet taste it is also served as a snack. It is best eaten the day after it is baked. Ontbijtkoek is also found in Indonesia due to its historical colonial ties with The Netherlands.

Even written in our history that many western countries occupied Indonesia after Christopher Columbus "discovered" one island (Maluku island) in Indonesia and found that the island had has many herbs and spices like ginger, nutmeg, peppercorns, and cloves. Since then, Vanco da Gama came from Lisbon, Portugal followed by Cornelis de Houtman came from Netherlands. Far away they sailed to found and dominate Indonesian spices which the value as high as gold at that time.

That was a marking point at which the "trade revolution" began in Europe. 

"Traders became conquerors. Asian-African nations were colonized and this opened the door to the era of Imperialism. Java was occupied in the 16th century, Maluku in the 17th century and gradually the Netherlands took control of our islands successively. "--said 1st president Soekarno in his book.
