Flan Cake (Custard Cake)


Flan Cake or Custard Cake

a yellow chiffon cake topped with a favorite classic, creamy, golden leche flan...


My Mama used to make this custard cake when we were young! 
I admit, her version is and will always be the best! 
How I missed those days when I watched her happily making cakes for her angels!
So when my friend asked me to make this cake, 
I made sure I got my Mama watching over and teaching me the secret! 
Thank God for the technology! She’s just one facetime away :)

As expected since she was with me, the cake turned out perfect! 
The cake is not too sweet as it may look in the photo! 
I love the softness of the chiffon and the smoothness of the custard, 
it melts in your mouth! Yummy it is! 
My friend enjoyed it too :)
Thanks to my Mama :)






Ube Macapuno Cake (Purple Yam Cake)


Ube Macapuno Cake


A traditional Filipino purple yam cake...
It's a perfect combination of purple yam chiffon cake
topped with sweet macapuno (coconut preserves)....
Heavenly delicious!


This is my all-time favorite Filipino cake! I’ve grown up loving this!
I was a bit hesitant though to make my own version 
as I’ve seen so many reviews that chiffon works only in a tube pan. 
Still it did not stop me from trying, again, with my Mama teaching me while doing it, 
the chiffon cake turned out so fine, soft and fluffy :)
I’ve been receiving lots of requests from friends for this :)

Brownies

Cheesie Brownie

who can resist rich cream cheese 
marbled through rich fudgy brownies?!!


I was doing my usual grocery when I passed by this corner selling cake books!
The books are pretty expensive.
I was flipping the pages when I saw the photo of the cheesecake brownie.
It was so tempting that I got stocked there trying to memorize the ingredients,
It took me a while to notice the remarks at the top “No Browsing!”
I knew I had to buy that book, there’s just something in the photo that made me sure 
 it will be a hit!
I made some revisions to it though, I added on some heavenly touch to the recipe!
True enough, that cheesecake brownie is a bomb!
Two of my favorites combined into one! Heavenly isn’t it? :)
I’m glad I bought the book, learning a lot from it! Definitely worth-buying!






Cookies

My 1 year old baby started to munch on anything he picks up.
I used to buy him baby biscuits but when I tasted it, 
it was nothing but plain blunt crackers.

And so I thought of baking him something special, 
something to surprise his then-bored taste buds!
It was a success! I was so happy that he liked it!
My little rascal enjoyed Mommy’s freshly baked M&M cookies :)
