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
The post YemaCake appeared first on Global Granary. It is important to add the milk on the yema while the yema is still hot and not yet set, yema does set pretty quickly something to keep in mind
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
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
Yema. Pianono with soft, pillowy sponge cake and creamy margarine and sugar filling. The story says that some years after Pope Pius IX proclaimed a dogma of the Immaculate Conception, Gonzalez decided to pay homage by creating these mini bite-size cakes shaped in the likeness of the Pope and of course named them after him as well
← 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
Other treats include Shine Bakery & Cafe's Almond Yema Sansrival Cake (L) and the elegant Cake of Happiness (R) covered with colorful macarons that's guaranteed to brighten up any celebration
