Leche Flan Cake!


Leche Flan is one of my favorite dessert. And every time that i miss it, all i have to do is to bake for me and for hubby because i already keep all the ingredients to be ready anytime. But Leche Flan cake is a little different from the leche flan itself, because you have to make the cake with the leche flan. And i love it too, so i will try to bake it on hubby's birthday two weeks from now and hopefully it will turn out good for me. And for those who want to try to make the Leche Flan Cake, here's the ingredients and how to make it.

Ingredients:


For the caramel

1 cup regular white sugar

1/4 cup water
Pinch of cream of tartar

For the flan
6 egg yolks

1 whole egg

1 cup evaporated milk

1 cup condensed milk

2 teaspoons grated lemon or dayap rind


For the cake
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour

2/3 cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon sifted baking powder
1/2 cup corn oil
8 egg yolks
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon (he salt 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 8 egg whites 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2/3 cup caster sugar)

How to make Leche Flan Cake:

*Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare the caramel In a large frying pan, combine sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Mix well with a spoon, and then place over medium heat Do not disturb the mature once it's over direct heat Allow sugar to caramelize to a light golden brown

*Immediately pour the caramel into a 9'' x 13'' baking pan (3 inches high)

*Using kitchen towels, tilt the pan so as to encourage the caramel to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

*Combine the flan ingredients in a large mixing bowl strain, using a piece of cheesecloth or fine strainer. Stir in 2 teaspoons of grated dayap or lemon rind. Transfer the flan mixture to the caramel lined baking pan. Set aside.

*Prepare the cake. Blend the first 8 Ingredients for the cake in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a wire whisk until smooth and lump free. Set aside.

* In another large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites together with the cream of tartar until frothy Gradually add the white sugar while continuing to beat at medium speed until the egg whites are stiff but not dry.

*Quickly but thoroughly fold in the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites
* Carefully pour the cake batter into the pan with the custard. Do not tap the pan.

*Bake for one hour and 25 minutes using a water bath ( place cake pan in a larger cake pan that you fill with water) Allow the cake to cool in its pan together with the water bath. Unmold carefully and chill well before serving.
