Yema Cake
Yema Cake. Yema has been a Philippine delicacy for centuries, brought on by the Spanish during the colonial period. The word Yema, in fact, means egg yolk in Spanish. But although the candy has been around for years, Yema Cake is somewhat of a new invention that has recently gained popularity. Many Filipinos fall in line whenever yema cake is served on the table to get a piece of it off the sweet Filipino dish. Let the chiffon cakes cool while you cook a creamy custard filling flavored with sweetened condensed milk. Cook Yema Cake using 22 ingredients and 6 steps quickly.
