How to Make the Dominican Cake Recipe

Step 1. Merging Dry Components Together

Using a sieve, let the dry things for the batter (i.e., ingredients a to c above) mingle in a bowl. After that, relinquish them to the side for later utilization.

 

Step 2. Mixing All Ingredients

After that, get the mixer and jumble components d and e together. Once things begin to look like a fluffy marshmallow in the making, deposit the D. vanilla along with constituents g to j, the dry elements, and evaporated milk.

 

Step 3. Baking Layers

Get two pans (imbue them well with the parchment paper) and divide the mixture on each pan in equal measures. Then, to the oven it is for them (350 ° Fahrenheit or approx. 177 ° Celsius for thirty mins.).

 

Step 4. Making the Water and Sucrose Mixture

In a saucepan (medium-high heat), jumble ingredients 3 and 12 and stir like crazy (i.e., until the two merge). After that, settle the hotness down to medium, then usher the solution to a simmer for approx. ten minutes.

 

Step 5. Making the Meringue

Next, beat those eggs like tomorrow does not exist anymore (i.e., ‘till they become fluffy), then unload the water-and-sucrose concoction on it. As a final touch, deposit some D. vanilla and stirrr!

 

Step 6. Cake Forming

Once all layers cool down, take a piece and position it upside-down on the stand. After that, permeate the top with meringue, add guava paste in the heart, and situate the other layer.

 

Step 7. Frost, Decorate, and Enjoy

Finally, it is on to icing and decorating! But, hey, there is no opposition to not doing so and just jumping to enjoying the baked good immediately here, though!

Note: You might have to tweak some times and temperatures mentioned depending on your devices. Do not just strictly follow this guide’s time and temperature. Get a feel too!

Tips and Tricks

As I stated earlier, one can trade fillings – from guava paste to dulce de leche or pineapple jam. To add, exchanging tangerine juice for pineapple juice is also viable. Even the sweet stuff! You can use brown sucrose in lieu if you do not have white sugar.

One element I do not endorse straying from is D. vanilla, though!
