Pastel de Camiguin is a type of cake that comes from the Camiguin Island in the Philippines. It's a popular dessert enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Imagine a delicious cake made with layers of soft and moist sponge cake and sweet, creamy filling in between the layers. The cake is then coated with a smooth and fluffy frosting made of egg whites and sugar.
To make the cake, the bakers use ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and milk. They mix everything together and bake it in the oven until it turns golden brown and delicious. To make the filling, they use ingredients like condensed milk, evaporated milk, and butter. They mix all of these ingredients together and spread it on top of each layer of the sponge cake. Then, they stack the layers of cake on top of each other and make sure everything is even and straight.
Finally, they apply the frosting. First, they beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This means that they look like fluffy clouds, almost like the bubbles you see when you make whipped cream. Then, they gradually add sugar while beating the egg whites until it forms a smooth and glossy frosting. They apply this on top of the cake and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Once the cake is covered in frosting, they decorate it with colorful sprinkles, fruits, or other toppings. And voila! A delicious pastel de Camiguin is ready to be enjoyed!
