No cake would be more apt for MY celebration than yemacake. Yema, literally means egg yolks, but in the Filipino language it refers to a sweet made with a lot of egg yolks
…and we celebrated those happenings with YEMACake. In the Philippines, we have these sweets called YEMA which are made by mixing a little butter and condensed milk until thick, shaped into small balls when warm enough to handle and then rolled into white granulated sugar
I've been seeing some of my Filipino friends posting photos of yemacake the past few weeks, and I promised myself I will try to make it when I get the chance
This cake is a type of chiffon or sponge cake infused with cream cheese then flavoured with yema, a type of milk custard candy popular in the Philippines
If you’re ever lucky enough to visit Manila, the beautiful capital city of the Philippines, one of the first dishes you’re likely to be served is YemaCake
Batir las yemas con el azúcar hasta que la mezcla se ponga clara. 4 yemas. 4 yemas. Hola amigos. Les dejo un bizcocho de lo más rico para merendar o desayunar
The recipe below for Pastel Pardo is one of many cake recipes in Libreta de Cocina. While I could not find a cake just like this one in the three cookbooks by Alejandro Pardo in UTSA’s collection, it is possible that this might be a derivation of one of his recipes, or perhaps one that was included in his cooking classes
Batir las yemas con el azúcar y la ralladura hasta que estén espumosas. Su nombre original es el LEMON CAKE PIE, pero lo llamé pastel porque no sabía como traducirlo textualmente
Separa las claras de las yemas. In the end I decided on the chestnut and chocolate cake. En otro recipiente bate las yemas con el azúcar hasta conseguir una mezcla color amarillo claro
← Yema (Custard Candy). I’m personally confused about the terminology because the word “puto” means “rice cake” in my native dialect, and this recipe is made of flour and not of rice
