HOW TO PREPARE:
  • Preheat oven at 350°F.
  • Line or grease a cake pan. ( I used 13 x 9).
  • Combine cake flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, put together vegetable oil, egg yolks, sugar, milk and lemon extract.
  • Beat until mixture is smooth.
  • Add the flour mixture. Continue mixing until well blended. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar.
  • Gradually add in sugar and continue to beat until stiff but not dry.
  • Fold the meringue into the batter using a spatula.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
  • * Do not overbake. Cake will be dry.
  • Remove from oven and let it cool.
  • Slice the cake in half horizontally. Set Aside.
​
​Prepare the Filling:
  • In a sauce pan, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks and vanilla. 
  • Simmer over low heat while stirring constantly until mixture becomes slightly thick. 
  • Remove from heat. Set aside.
Prepare the Cake:
  • Spread the part of the yema filling on top of the halved cake.
  • Place the other half of the cake and cover the whole cake with the yema filling.
  • Top with grated cheese.

*** You can substitute cake flour to all purpose flour. Use the following method:
  • Measure out 1 cup of all-purpose flour.  
  • Remove 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and place it back in your flour canister.  
  • Replace the removed all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
  • Sift flour 5 times. Sifting the flour and cornstarch together will help thoroughly combine the mixture and help to lighten and aerate the flour.
