    • Using an electric mixer, add in cream of tartar into the meringue bowl (M) bowl and mix on high. When it forms a bubble, slowly add sugar and mix egg white until it forms into stiff peaks. Set aside.

    ASSEMBLE THE CAKE

    • Pour the Leche Flan Mixture into the caramelized sugar.
    • Add the cake wet ingredients into the dry cake ingredients and mix until smooth.
    • Add the Meringue in 3 additions into cake ingredient mixture and very gently mix , in one direction until incorporated.
    • Pour mixture on top of the Leche Flan pan, flatten gently and bake for 50 minutes.
