Brazo de Mercedes - The Not So Creative Cook
A sheet of meringue from the egg whites and a tasty custard filling from the egg yolks, which makes them like a jelly/Swiss roll. **** Aside from Mocha Cake, this dessert has been my favorite for a long time. I am not a fan of a very sweet cake but this really is an exemption. Although this is sweet, the meringue and the custard are so perfect together – match made in heaven as they say. 😉 When I was not yet into baking, I usually buy from sweets shop. When I started baking, I was so hesitant to try this because I was afraid that I can’t do the rolling perfectly. To be honest, the first try was not perfect at all. I meant the taste was perfect but the rolling was a failure. Well, not a total failure; there was a crack on the top of the meringue. The second one was the same. The third one was still the same. One day, friends visited me at home and I offered them this dessert. They said it was great and they were so amazed because I knew how to make this very delicious dessert. And let me say that this dessert is highly requested! 😉 I am so thankful to Vanjo Merano of Panlasang Pinoy for having a video on this. Because of that, I have ‘mastered’ how to make this divine Brazo de Mercedes. This can be served as dessert or snack. I bake this from time to time and I always fall in love with this and I every time I take a bite, I always feel proud of myself. 😉 If you’re wondering about this Mocha Cake I always talk about, it is a Filipino version of coffee cake and I will do a post about it next month, hopefully. Thank you for being with me as I celebrate my blog’s 5th month. Have a nice week ahead to everyone. Linking up to Sunday Sweets Please follow and like us:
