			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.I have featured <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/baking-recipes/torta-cebuana/">Torta Cebuana</a>, a recipe from Mrs. Gertrudes Ybanez-Noval, the baking teacher of my mom.  This is another Torta version of Mrs. Noval called <i>Torta Banawa</i>. Banawa is the place where Mrs. Noval lived and where she held her baking classes. </p>
<p>2 cups cake flour, sifted<br />
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted<br />
3 tsps. baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
4 eggs<br />
2 egg yolks<br />
1-1/2 cups sugar<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
1/2 cup corn oil<br />
1/4 cup melted butter<br />
1/2 tsp. aniseeds<br />
1 egg, slightly beaten<br />
1/2 cup grated cheese<br />
1/2 cup sugar</p>
<p><span id="more-164"></span></p>
<p>1. Sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt.</p>
<p>2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs (whole eggs and egg yolks) until lemon-colored. Add the sugar gradually and continue beating until smooth and fluffy.</p>
<p>3. Blend in dry ingredients alternately with milk (start and end with the dry ingredients). Fold in gently corn oil, melted butter and aniseeds.</p>
<p>4. Pour into paper-lined torta tins.</p>
<p>5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.</p>
<p>6. Remove from oven and brush tops with the slightly beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese and sugar. Return to the oven and bake just enough to dry the topping.</p>
<p>Note: Whole milk was not readily available in the 1960&#8217;s to the 1980&#8217;s. Thus, we used evaporated milk. We would dilute the evaporated milk in a 1:1 ratio or less. So, if a recipe called for 1 cup milk, we would use 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup water. For a lighter milk texture, we would use 1/2 cup milk and 1-1/2 cups water. You would have to experiment to see what proportions work for your recipe.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src='http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/leche_flan.jpg' alt="leche flan" /></p>
<p>The original leche flan recipe was from my Mom but my sister Lorna reconfigured it to fit her tastes.</p>
<p>The perfect flan is such that when you slice through it, it barely quivers like jello. There is very little syneresis, that is, no weeping (or lots of holes in it!). I am sharing this precious recipe so you may prepare it for your family.</p>
<p>5 eggyolks<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 can condensed milk<br />
1 can water (use the condensed milk&#8217;s can for measuring)<br />
1 tbsp. vanilla to add to the mixture<br />
1/4 cup to 1/3 cup sugar for caramelization</p>
<li>Get a pyrex loaf dish (or equivalent oval, square, or round dish).</li>
<li>Caramelize 1/3 cup sugar in it. Use your oven. When the sugar is starting to melt, make sure that you watch carefully. You don&#8217;t want the caramel to be too dark or it will taste burnt. Manipulate the dish until you are sure that the caramel is evenly placed on the bottom of the pan. Let the pan rest on the stove top.</li>
<li>Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.</li>
<p>These are the cooking times:</p>
<p>For the first 45 minutes: 325 degrees Fahrenheit<br />
For the next 20 to 25 minutes, until the toothpick test shows that the flan is done: 350 degrees Fahrenheit</p>
<p><span id="more-119"></span></p>
<p><strong>Procedure:</strong></p>
<p>1. Separate 5 eggyolks when the eggs are cold. It&#8217;s easier to get the whites and the yolks separated. Set the whites aside to use for Flan de Huevos Blancos or Angel Cake.</p>
<p>2. In a mixing bowl, mix the eggyolks, eggs, condensed milk, water, and vanilla until well-blended. Set aside for a few minutes so that the mixture reaches room temperature. Do not beat up the mixture to form bubbles. Just try to make sure that the eggwhites are blended in.</p>
<p>3. While waiting for the mixture to reach room temperature, prepare your baine marie (bano maria).</p>
<p>Get a rectangular roasting pan that is slightly taller than the baking pan that you are using for your flan. Put this roasting pan inside your pre-heated oven. Add water to the pan, about mid-way. Be careful that you don&#8217;t splash water around as you heat this pan of water.</p>
<p>4. Get a small rounded double-meshed metal strainer, as finely-meshed as you can find them (similar to the strainer that comes with a wok). This is the secret of the recipe. </p>
<p>5. Get a bowl and put the strainer over it. Spoon (with a 1/4 cup measuring cup) the mixture over the metal strainer. With a rubber scraper, smoothen any eggwhites through the strainer. Using a wooden spoon (or other mixing spoon), blend the smooth mixture.</p>
<p>6. When you have finishing straining the mixture, blend the muixture with your wooden spoon one last time. Try not to produce any bubbles while doing this.</p>
<p>7. Pour the mixture on your prepared caramelized pan. It should have a thick, liquid &#8220;feel&#8221; to it.</p>
<p>8. Open your oven and pull out the rack with the roasting pan (that has hot water on it).</p>
<p>Position the Leche Flan&#8217;s pan into the center of the roasting pan.</p>
<p>9. Bend a little and check the height of the water around the Leche Flan&#8217;s pan. You might need to add more water (using your measuring cup) so that the water outside the pan reaches the height of the leche flan. This is the secret to having very little syneresis (or &#8220;weeping&#8221;).</p>
<p>10. Remember:</p>
<p>For the first 45 minutes: 325 degrees Fahrenheit<br />
For the next 20 to 25 minutes, until the toothpick test shows that the flan is done: 350 degrees Fahrenheit</p>
<p>11. When you take out the cooked Leche Flan from the baine marie, be careful not to splash water around. Set the pan on top of the stove or counter to cool down.</p>
<p>12. Taking the Leche Flan out of its pan:</p>
<p>Many a Leche Flan is destroyed by the baker not knowing how to take it out of its pan.</p>
<p>Refrigerate the cooled-down leche flan until you&#8217;re ready to unmold it.</p>
<p>Unmolding the Leche Flan: Run a straight-edged (non-serrated) knife on the sides of the Leche Flan. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the Leche Flan and press down ever-so-gently on the surface of the flan. Let the caramel from the bottom of the pan run through the sides of the pan. Get a pan of hot water and let the leche flan&#8217;s pan rest gently on this water bath for a few minutes. The rest of the mixture is cold and only the bottom is hot. This is done so that the unmolding is faster &#8212; and smoother. Take out the plastic wrap. Take your serving platter and place over the Leche Flan. Invert the mixture in one quick move.</p>
<p>13. You can garnish the Leche Flan with some macapuno strings or langka strips (preserved jackfruit) if you like.</p>
<p>Hoping you all are successful in making Leche Flan.&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.Sorry for the minimal posting these days. My house got flooded by Ondoy last week and it&#8217;s only this week that we are back to normal operations at home. (<a href="http://aboutmyrecovery.com/2009/09/29/surviving-and-recovering-from-ondoy-flood-damage/">see Ondoy damage</a> to our house.)  We are all safe. Damage was minimal in the first floor. Our oven got busted but the refrigerator is in working condition. In the meantime, let me share recipes tested in our <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/cakes-pastries-desserts/sallys-bake-shop/">Sally&#8217;s Bake Shop</a>.  Our family bake shop, Sally&#8217;s Home Bake Shop, had always been the home of the company&#8217;s White King Test Kitchen&#8217;s nutritionists in the 1970&#8217;s during their visits to Cebu. I was a teenager then when they would test in our kitchen and I was always around to assist them.</p>
<p>If you have kids who don&#8217;t like to eat their vegetables, introducing chayote (which is a type of squash) as a dessert item without telling them what it is might dispel their misgivings about becoming vegetarians.</p>
<p><span id="more-1182"></span></p>
<p><strong><br />
Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>1/2 cup water</p>
<p>1/4 cup sugar</p>
<p>1/4 tsp salt</p>
<p>1 medium chayote, peeled and sliced thinly</p>
<p>1 tbsp lemon or calamansi juice</p>
<p>4 tbsps powdered milk (or 1/4 cup)</p>
<p>1 cup sugar</p>
<p>2-1/4 cups cake flour</p>
<p>3/4 tsp salt</p>
<p>3 tsps Baking Powder</p>
<p>1/3 cup salad oil</p>
<p>1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract</p>
<p>2 egg whites </p>
<p>2 egg yolks</p>
<p><b>Directions</b></p>
<p>1.  Grease or line two 9-inch layer pans or a 13&#8243; x 9&#8243; x 2&#8243; pan.</p>
<p>2.  Combine water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Let boil.</p>
<p>3. Add chayote and cook until tender.</p>
<p>4.  Remove from heat and add lemon juice.</p>
<p>5.  Drain the cooked chayote, reserving syrup.</p>
<p>6. Dilute powdered milk in chayote juice and add enough water to make 1 cup. Set aside.</p>
<p>7.  Pre-heat i oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.</p>
<p>8. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.</p>
<p>9. Add oil, half of the mild solution, and vanilla. Mix until well-blended.<br />
10. Add remaining milk and egg yolks. Beat one minute.</p>
<p>11. Beat egg whites until fluffy. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar gradually. Continuing beating until stiff.</p>
<p>12. Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into prepared pan. Top with cooked chayote.</p>
<p>13. Bake for 35 minutes or until done.</p>
<p>14.  Cool on racks.</p>
<p>15.  Frost with fluffy white frosting. (See below)</p>
<p><b>How to Prepare White Frosting</b></p>
<p> INGREDIENTS </p>
<p>    * 1 cup white sugar<br />
    * 1/3 cup water<br />
    * 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar<br />
    * 2 egg whites<br />
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract</p>
<p>DIRECTIONS</p>
<p>   1. In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.<br />
   2. In a medium mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar mixture while whipping constantly until stiff peaks form, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost the cake of your choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src='http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/fruitcake.jpg' alt='fruitcake' hspace="4" align="left" />It&#8217;s the time of the year when one needs to plan for the holidays.  As early as September, I already know what to bake for Christmas. A childhood memory that never fails to remind me of the Christmas season is Fruitcake.  I used to bake a lot of fruitcake in the past but the girls never really got around to acquiring a taste for it.  They preferred the <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/cakes-pastries-desserts/the-gingerbread-man-cookies/">Gingerbread Man Cookies</a> because of the story behind it after I bake the first batch. That&#8217;s my then 16 year old daughter, Lauren when she helped me with my fruitcakes a few years ago. Fruitcake flavor is best when it has been aged for a few months in a cool place (preferably the refrigerator in the Philippines).</p>
<p>For those of you who want to bake Fruitcakes for the Holidays, here is a recipe  which I call <b>Golden Fruitcake</b>.  I&#8217;ve modified this based from my mom&#8217;s original fruitcake recipe. My Golden Fruitcake does not have a strong taste of brandy nor is it too sweet. Anyway, there&#8217;s a lot of preparation so make sure you run down the list carefully.</p>
<p>Here is my Golden Fruitcake recipe</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p><b>Ingredients</b></p>
<p>1 Cup butter (I use Golden Crown)<br />
1 1/1 Cup Brown Sugar<br />
4 large eggs (1 cup) or  5 medium eggs<br />
3 cups all purpose four<br />
1/2 cups flour (to dredge fruits and nuts)<br />
1 tsp Baking Powder<br />
1 teaspon salt<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
5 Tablespoon prune juice<br />
3 Tablespoons Molasses<br />
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (mix in molasses)<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
2 teaspoon cinnamom<br />
1 teaspoon nutmeg<br />
1/2 teaspoon allspice<br />
1/4 teaspoon cloves<br />
1 1/2 cups nuts (Combination of walnuts, pecan, cashew, pili)<br />
1 1/2 cups dates<br />
1 1/2 cups fruit glaze<br />
1/2 cup cherry brandy</p>
<p>Extra Cherries, fruit glaze,nuts for decorating on top of cake<br />
Cherry brandy to brush top of the cake</p>
<p><b>Preparation</b></p>
<ul>
<b>Fruit Mix</b></p>
<p> 1. Soak fruits in 1/2 cup cherry brandy overnight.<br />
 2. Drain the fruits for 1 hour.</p>
<p><b>Preparing the Baking pan</b></p>
<p>1. Don&#8217;t use waxpaper.<br />
2. Use thick cellphane (1 piece only) and use enough to cover the cake after baking.<br />
3. You can also use aluminum. More messy but more sure.</p>
<p><b>Batter</b></p>
<p>	1. Heat oven to slow.</p>
<p>	2.  Cream Shortening and add sugar slowly until fluffy.</p>
<p>	3. Beat in egg one at a time, beating after each addition until light.</p>
<p>	4. Blend Flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg.</p>
<p>	5. Stir in alternately with milk, molasses, juices and vanilla beginning and ending with flour.</p>
<p>	6.  With 1/2 cup flour. add to fruit mixture.</p>
<p>	7. The batter is then mixed to the fruits. Add the nuts on top of the batter.</p>
<p>	8.  Put batter in cellophane lined or aluminum lined pans (4 pans)</p>
<p>	9. Bake for one (1) hour at 300 F. ( But do check the temperature based on the pan you use. Sometimes baking can be as short as 45 minutes to 1 hour at 325 F)</p>
<p>	10. At 45 minutes baking time, remove pans from oven and decorate top with cherries, buts and fruits.</p>
<p>	11. Cover pan with overlapping aluminum foil to prevent burning.</p>
<p>	12. Bake 15 more minutes until done.</p>
</ul>
<p><b>After Baking</b></p>
<li>Keep cellophane or aluminum intact with the cake</li>
<li>After baking and the cake has cooled down, brush the top of the cake with cherry brandy</li>
<li>Wrap the whole cake with the overlapping cellophane or aluminum , then more aluminum foil to cover the whole cake ending with colored cellophane.</li>
<p><b>Tips</b></p>
<p>1. It&#8217;s important to drain the fruit mix for 1 hour. This is because alcohol destroys the cake batter.<br />
2. Nuts are not placed in the batter; rather it is placed ON TOP of the batter. I still mix in the buts anyway. I use a combination of nuts.<br />
3. Never use peanuts but do use pili, cashew, walnuts, or black walnuts.<br />
4. The batter is mixed to the fruits so that the emulsion in the batter is not destroyed.</p>
<p>I have 5 recipes for fruitcake but based on my past experience, the above recipe gave me the best results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top .

I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.I suddenly remembered my mom&#8217;s Binangkal recipe after a recent visit to Cebu.  Well, Binangkal is round , shaped from dough and covered with sesame seeds and is a popular Cebu delicacy. Here is our recipe:</p>
<p>2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
2/3 cup water<br />
2 tablespoons oil<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla flavor<br />
1 teaspoon butter flavor<br />
Seasame seeds<br />
<span id="more-1155"></span></p>
<p><b>Directions</b></p>
<p>1.  Sift flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder.</p>
<p>2.  Mix brown sugar, water, oil, butter flavor and vanilla flavor. ( or add flour mixture in step 1 all at once to the liquid mixture, not little by little). Mix to blend.</p>
<p>3. With a teaspoon, take a but of batter and drop into a bowl of sesame seeds. Pick seasme-seed covered batter and roll between palms to form a round mixture.</p>
<p>4.  Drop into prepared tray.  Make sure your deep fat fryer or <i>Kawali</i> is full of hot cooking oil but make sure temperature is moderate.</p>
<p>5.  Fry in deep hot fat until brown (slightly dark brown). This is crispy outside and soft inside.</p>
<p>Yields 36 pieces.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other. I&#8217;ve shared recipes on <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/baking-recipes/torta-banawa/">Torta Banawa</a> and <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/baking-recipes/torta-cebuana/">Torta Cebuana</a>.  My sister who is now based in Chicago shared me these  torta recipes. Torta is quite a popular baked product in Cebu and all of Visayas. Here is a contribution from my sister:</p>
<p><a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/torta.jpg"><img src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/torta.jpg" alt="torta" title="torta" width="450" height="316" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1151" /></a><br />
My managing editor at Filipinas Magazine, Gemma Nemenzo, is rarin&#8217; to try the Torta a la Argao. Since the Torta&#8217;s secret is the use of tuba, I&#8217;ve been putting off making this particular treat especially since it is so cholesterolific. She has the &#8220;hulmahan&#8221; or the molds &#8212; which are actually brioche molds, if you want to order them at Sur La Table. The challenge will be to find a close cousin of tuba in the US. I&#8217;m thinking about a light beer, which is slightly fermented. I&#8217;ll update you all with my experiments.</p>
<p><i>A reader shared this  I would suggest instead of tuba for the torta visaya, some sparkling wine, such as ricadonna or asti spumanti, or even a sparkling rose if you dont want it so sweet.</i> &#8211; Thanks Tony!<br />
-<br />
However, for those of you in the Philippines, you have no excuse. Go ahead and try this one!</p>
<p>This recipe was contributed by Annie Osmena Aboitiz. It is found in Nora Daza&#8217;s cookbook, &#8220;A Culinary Life: Personal Recipe Collection.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-348"></span></p>
<p>5 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1 cup tuba<br />
3 cups sugar<br />
20 egg yolks<br />
1-1/2 cups cooking oil<br />
1/4 tsp. salt<br />
a pinch of anise</p>
<p>sister&#8217;s note: use an electric mixer.</p>
<p>1. Pour the tuba into the flour. Add the salt. Mix well.</p>
<p>2. Add the sugar gradually into the egg yolks while beating well.</p>
<p>3. Add the oil. Blend well.</p>
<p>4. Put the mixture into a pan lined with paper and greased with butter or oil. Add anise.</p>
<p>5. Wait for 7 hours before baking (to allow the batter to rise). However, if the weather is cold, wait for 8 hours before baking.</p>
<p>6. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until cake tests done. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src="http://photos.the-protagonist.net/albums/albun94/31_G.thumb.jpg" alt="mango-banana shortcake" align="left" />I can&#8217;t remember where I got this recipe but I think it might have been a TV cooking show with Nora Daza. Oh well, it doesn&#8217;t matter how I got the recipe. This recipe is one of the family favorites. The basic shortcake recipe is good for other fillings like Strawberry Shortcake.</p>
<p>If there is no mango available, try canned peaches.</p>
<p><strong>SHORTCAKE:</strong></p>
<p>2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
2 tbsps. sugar<br />
3 tsps. baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
1/2 cup butter (1/2 bar)<br />
1 beaten egg<br />
2/3 cup full cream evaporated milk<br />
1 tbsp. vanilla</p>
<p><span id="more-135"></span></p>
<p>Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.</p>
<p>1. Sift into bowl: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.</p>
<p>Note: I would put the dry ingredients in a plastic bag and swirl the mixture until blended. Neat short cut, ha!</p>
<p>2. Cut in butter into the sifted mixture (using a fork) until the mixture looks like pea-sized pieces (like what we do with pie crusts).</p>
<p>3. Beat one egg. Add the 2/3 cup milk gradually into the beaten egg, mixing it as you keep adding the milk. Add the vanilla and blend well.</p>
<p>4. Put wax paper in your baking pan. Then, Grease this pan with butter, at the sides and at the papered bottom. I believe I used a 10 x 13 pan, something like this. Or use a round pan. See what works for you.</p>
<p>5. Pour mixture onto the baking pan.</p>
<p>6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the cake tests done. Use the toothpick test.</p>
<p><strong>MANGO-BANANA FILLING:</strong></p>
<p>1/2 cup sugar<br />
2 tbsps. cornstarch<br />
2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice<br />
1 tbsp. calamansi juice (or 1 tbsp. lemon juice)<br />
3 large carabao mangoes, peeled and sliced diagonally (like diamonds)<br />
2 medium bananas (lacatan, not saba), sliced (add a little calamansi juice to prevent the bananas from browning)<br />
1/2 cup Nestle&#8217;s Cream, chilled and whipped (whipped in a mixer)<br />
1 recipe of the shortcake</p>
<p><strong>Prepare your fruits.</strong> Slice the mangoes and marinate sliced bananas in calamansi juice. Mix these two fruits in a glass bowl and set aside.</p>
<p><strong>Slice the shortcake lengthwise</strong> since you&#8217;ll be putting the filling in the middle and on top of the cake. Separate these layers. Set aside the bottom part of the cake in its serving platter or dish.</p>
<p>1. Mix sugar and cornstarch in your saucepan or pot (quart-sized or larger).</p>
<p>2. Add 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice and blend thoroughly.</p>
<p>3. Stir this mixture over a flame. Cook until thickened. You&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s cook because the mixture will feel thick to the touch and will look transparent. When it starts getting transparent, stir (always in the same direction) for an additional one to two minutes so that the cornstarch is fully-cooked.</p>
<p>4. Add the fruit mixture to the thickened pineapple juice mixture. Stir in the same direction you started with.</p>
<p>5. Cool the mixture.</p>
<p>For a faster cool-down, set the pot over a bowl filled with ice. Stir once every few minutes.</p>
<p>6. Divide the mixture into two portions.</p>
<p>7. For the whipping cream: Chill bowl. Pour one can of cream and beat/whip. Add a drop or two of calamansi juice to make the mixture slightly thicker.</p>
<p>8. Put the filling into the bottom layer. Pour 1/2 of the thickened cream on top of the fruit mixture on the bottom layer.</p>
<p>9. Put the upper half of the cake over the bottom layer. Pour the other half of the fruit mixtrue and top with the remaining cream.</p>
<p>10. Chill this mixture in your refrigerator.&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src="http://photos.the-protagonist.net/albums/kakanin-at-shopwise/kakanin_001.jpg" alt="cassava cake">I had the original Filipino recipe for Cassava Cake but my overseas readers often want the equivalent measurements to use in America.  Here is Cassava Cake with Egg Topping recipe often called <i>Bibingkang Kamoteng Kahoy</i> originally from  Filipino Guardian&#8217;s Gourmet&#8217;s Kitchen cloumn which my sister and I innovated a bit.</p>
<p><b>Ingredients</b></p>
<p>2 packs frozen grated cassava ( you can get this at local Filipino stores) or <strong>1 cup grated cassava</strong><br />
2 cans coconut milk (or frozen pack coconut milk)<br />
2  1/2 cans condensed milk<br />
2 eggs (beaten)<br />
1/4 cup macapuno or sweetened coconut strings<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract</p>
<p><i>Topping</i><br />
2 egg yolks, whipped<br />
1/2 condensed milk<br />
Mix and blend the egg yolks and condensed milk</p>
<p><span id="more-369"></span></p>
<p><b>Directions</b></p>
<p>1.  Preheat oven to 325 C</p>
<p>2. Thaw cassava or coconut milk if  you bought the frozen one.  Mix all ingredients and blend well.</p>

One thing great about Banana bread is that it contains fiber and that&#8217;s what we all need to start a day. Why not have banana bread for breakfast.

4 eggs<br />
 1 cup milk<br />
1 tsp. vinegar<br />
1 tsp. vanilla<br />
 2 cups mashed bananas (lacatan variety- You can even use super-riped bananas)</p>
<p><span id="more-952"></span></p>
<p>1. Cream butter with sugar, add eggs until well blended. </p>
<p>2. Add in the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture, starting and end with the dry ingredients, </p>
