Just thought of my husband's favorite cake. I didn't think it would be as simple as this.

  7. 1 cancondensed milk (14 oz / 397g)
  8. 1 tbspvanilla extract
  9. 1/4 cuppowdered sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    For the meringue, beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer on mid setting. Add cream of tartar when eggs are a little bubbly.

  3. 3

    Gradually increase beat setting of hand mixer. If eggs starts to get foamy, gradually add sugar.

  4. 4

    Continue beating until soft peaks form.

  5. 5

    Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a 9"x5" baking tray. Brush parchment paper with a little oil. (You can dip paper towel on oil and spread it thinly on baking tray)

  6. 6

    Pour meringue mixture and spread evenly. (Like VERY even)

  7. 7

    Using a bread knife, pass through the meringue's surface (for aesthetic purposes, which I obviously, did not do 🤫)

  8. 8

    Bake for 25-30 mins at 350°F or until surface starts to brown a little.

  9. 9

    On a separate mixing bowl, beat egg yolks. Then add condensed milk and mix well.

  10. 10

    Add vanilla extract.

  11. 11

    To make custard spread, heat egg yolk mixture on a cooking pot on low heat. Continue mixing until you have a pasty consistency. Set aside to cool.

  12. 12

    Once meringue is baked, sift powdered sugar on top. Lay a parchment paper.

  13. 13

    Turn the pan upsidedown. Spread custard filling THINLY (Which I didn't do as you can see from the picture above. LEARN from my mistake 😒🤣, Don't worry i'll remake it soon so don't shade me, okay? 😝).

  14. 14

    ** If the sides crusted, slice off using a bread knife***

  15. 15

    Roll the meringue (like a sushi) placing the end under to make sure the roll stays intact.

  16. 16

    Sift a little more powdered sugar making sure top is evenly covered from all that rolling.

  17. 17

    Serve and enjoy.
