Dutch Broeder cake. Breudher is a derivate of "the Dutch word,
broeder, referring to the bag (broederzak) in which the cake is cooked. Breudher is most likely to have originated from traditional
Dutch breakfast cakes and breads, such as
Ontbijtkoek or the German
Kugelhupf. Singaporean food writer, Sylvia Tan, in
Forgotten Foods and Mealtime Memories, published by the
National Library Board believes that breudher is a derivate of "the Dutch word,
brood-tulband, referring to the fluted turban-shaped mould used to make it". It is generally concluded that "Breudher" originated from the Dutch and that the Portuguese "Blueda" is derived from the Dutch version. ==See also==
