FILIPINO CUSTARD CAKE PLUS VIDEO

FILIPINO CUSTARD CAKE. Finally! I’ve posted and made this custard cake…I called this cake Filipino Custard Cake, ’cause I am a Filipino. I just realized that other part of the world have their own name of this custard cake… If I were an Saudi Arabian, I will call this custard cake a Magic Cake. If I were Hispanic, I will call this Las Natillas. But Let’s call this Filipino Custard Cake, shall we?

Boy, I love this “Filipino” Custard Cake.Pretty much this cake is a chiffon cake with Leche Flan on top. The top Leche Flan is creamy and soft. And when serve cold it tastes way better. It is similar to a refreshment with a cake in it.

I had seen a friend brought this cake in one of our parties and since then, I was hooked; but I did not have a courage to make it… Just looking at this cake,  IT LOOKS TOO DIFFICULT TO MAKE…

So last week, I sat down and studied this cake and finally make a move to the  kitchen and made it… Boy, all those fears are unwarranted, because really, it was easy to make. I made this 4 times more after the first time I made it and brought it to my friend’s birthday. I’ve made this custard cake in lemon and orange flavor and boy, both ways it tasted amazing.

The secret of this custard cake is the preparation. So I listed down the procedures the easiest way I know how. And give bowls its name.

BOWL 1 : Cake Dry Ingredients (Nickname:CDI)

BOWL 2: MERINGUE  (Nickname: M)

BOWL 3 : Cake wet Ingredients . (Nickname: CWI)

Bowl 4: Leche Flan (Nickname: LF)

Bowl 5: Excess egg whites (Nickname: EEG)

Pan:::::: I prepared 1 piece 8″ pan that is 3-4 inch deep

AND I just want to emphasize  THE EGGS… you will have an excess 3 egg whites.

SO, LET’S MAKE IT… 🙂
