The first time I had this cake, I was at a Filipino party and as soon as they brought it out, the people starting lining up to get a slice. Honestly, I wasn’t interested in trying it because it looked soggy, as if someone spilled a glass of milk on it. Well, my friends were going bananas over the cake so I thought I’d try it. Oh my gosh, it was delicious. After the party I asked Mila for the recipe and she obliged. Now I make this year for Cinco-de-Mayo parties…too bad that only comes around once a year!!!
