Any Filipinos here? I need your help with a cake name.

I tasted the best cake I have ever had in my life yesterday!

But my (Filipino) friend said she has no idea what it is called. She says it is a traditinal celebration cake but she has never made it and only ever buys it. All her friends said the same thing.

It looked like a sponge baked in custard. It was almost flan like but definitely spongy instead of all custard but the sponge was extremely light and soft and moist with the custard.

Anyone know what it is called?

Wondering if this is it - it has whipped egg whites mixed into the cake mix then custard then baked.

Im not Filipino, but I think I might know what you mean- leche flan cake..

My Uncles family lived in Manila for 10 years and we visited a couple of times. The housekeeper would always make this as a special treat- Ive never tried to cook it, but it is very delicious...

I think its called leche cake because of the mix of the evaporated and condensed milk...I remember it being very sweet..but yum

It wasn't a leche cake as I have tasted these. But it did have a slight custard top like the leche in your picture.

Sounds like one an old friend in Perth use to make..yummy, but I don't know what it's called either !

She also use to make a really good fruit salad, if anyone wants to try it...here it is....

Tins of asian fruit mixed with a can of evaporated milk and a can of condensed milk, chilled.

easy as and sooooo good. If you keep some tins in the pantry and a can of evap. milk in the fridge, you've always got a nice dessert if you get unexpected visitors.

I'm not surprised to see Sandy here, she is a wonderful cook. Hop over to the my day thread to see the beautiful plates of Christmas cooking she's done for her friends and neighbour's. I'm moving next door to Sandy before next Chrissy
