You say “Yema Cake” and I say “Yummmmmmy!”. When I was a kid, I remember indulging in little pyramids of yema sold at our school canteen. Yema is a custard candy made from condensed milk and egg yolks. Some versions have crushed peanuts and butter. Yema is thick and creamy, with some candies having a little grainy texture that makes the sweet experience more interesting.
Yummy Yema Cake from Panaderia Pantoja
When Panaderia Pantoja offered us a taste of their Yema Cake, we were intrigued! The yema cake was delivered at our house when I was at the office. I knew my family at home wouldn’t be able to resist diving into this delectable delight, and so I told them, “You can eat the yema cake already! Just make sure to take pictures first!” And that they did. Thanks to my sister for having the willpower to take lots of beautiful pictures before getting a bite of this dessert!
Yema Cake Yumminess
Panaderia Pantoja’s yema cake is a soft sponge cake with yummy yema, then sprinkled with cheese on top. It’s just the right kind of sweet. I also love how the sponge cake has a light buttery taste to it.
Yema + Sponge Cake + Cheese = Go Treat Yourself!
I enjoyed my slice of yema cake with a mug of hot green tea. You can also enjoy it with coffee. It would make for a great afternoon snack.
A slice for me…
Panaderia Pantoja’s yema is available in 4 of its branches – Makati, Regalado, Mother Ignacia and Market, Market.
… a slice for you!
How much is the yema cake? It costs P140/box in Makati and P125 in the other branches. The Makati branch sells slices daily at P50. In this same branch, you can also pre-order a 3-layer 8×11 for P380, and an 11×16 for P650. They also deliver.
You know you want a slice!
