Relationship TalkDoes Anyone Have A Recipe For Cuban Cake Made With Natilla And Merengue Frosting?
by admin on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 | 4 Comments
The cake that I’m looking for is the one that you would normally get in Miami for a birthday. I don’t live in Miami anymore and they don’t have cuban bakeries where I live. I’ve looked all over the internet and can’t find the recipe for this particular type of cake.
I found it but in different recipes: hope this helps
To make the sweet Cuban cake:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 tbsp rum (optional)
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter and flour a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, sift the cake flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk with the coconut milk, rum and vanilla.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, beat in the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk mixture.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and lightly smooth the surface. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack and let cool completely. Wrap the cake in plastic and refrigerate until chilled.
Using a long serrated knife, cut the cake in half horizontally. Center the top cake layer on a plate, cut side up. Carefully remove some of the cake from the inside of the bottom portion, creating a hollow center but leaving the sides intact. Fill with natilla custard, transfer the top portion of the cake back. Now cover, refrigerate and let set for at least 1 hour. Then you can glaze the cake or just top with meringue frosting.
