Rating
This recipe uses all-time Filipino favorite, yema, as the glaze for a creamy and delicious dessert!
Ingredients
- To make the cake:
- 4 egg, whites only
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1¼ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 4 egg, yolks only
- ⅓ cup full cream milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- lemon zest, optional
- To make the yema glaze:
- 14 oz condensed milk
- 3 egg, yolks only
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- cheese, (grated), for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat at 350ºF. Line the bottom of a 6-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
- To make the cake, place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean mixing bowl and beat for 2 minutes or until they reach soft peaks. Put mixer on medium speed: slowly add sugar and whip for another 2 minutes until the whites are glossy and still hold soft peaks.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and mix well with a wire whisk.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, milk, vanilla, oil, and lemon zest until they are combined. Add the flour mixture and beat on medium until everything is well-combined
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the flour mixture in batches. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared pan. Alternatively, split the batter evenly into two pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top springs back when pressed lightly and the top of the cake doesn't stick to your fingertips. Let the cake rest for a minute in the pan before turning it out to cool on a wire rack. Gently peel off the parchment and let the cake cool to room temperature.
- Make the yema glaze: combine the condensed milk, egg yolks, salt, and vanilla in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens into a smooth and spreadable filling.
- Spread yema glaze onto cooled cakes. If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on the top of the cake.
