Taisan Loaf Cake
Taisan cake is a proud native baked treat of the Philippines. It is a the Filipino-style chiffon cake topped with melted butter, sugar, and grated cheese baked in a loaf pan.
I am very fortunate to have local bakeshops near and in fact, just a few steps away from where I live. They always have in stock this delicious light and fluffy cake which I can order whenever I decide to. The problem is, its taste comes very inconsistently — sometimes a bit dry, while other times it’s too sweet. That is why I succumbed to making myself one and it did not at all disappoint.
How to Make Taisan Loaf Cake
Before making a Taisan loaf cake, be sure to have the proper ingredients and a good recipe guide. Of course, you don’t want to miss adding a simple ingredient or be overwhelmed during the procedure.
Now, take all the ingredients out of the bag and let’s start! In a bowl, sift the flour and baking powder then set it aside. In a separate container, mix thoroughly the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Combine the former dry mixture into this wet mixture. Then, make a meringue out of fully-whisked egg whites and cream of tartar in a small container. Add this meringue into the egg yolk mixture, parts at a time while folding until it becomes uniform in color.
It’s baking time. While you preheat the oven at 375°F or 175°C, grease the loaf pan with lined parchment paper and pour down the batter. Bake this for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick that is used to poke the middle comes out clean. Let it cool completely then tip it out of the loaf pan by carefully running the edges with a sharp knife. Flip onto a wooden bread pallet and glaze with melted butter then sprinkle with sugar and grated cheese. Yum!
