Answer 6

Dominican Cake (Bizcocho Dominicano)

Dominican cake has a baked in pineapple filling, but you can use other fruits such as strawberry, orange or peach or pastry cream.

Time 90mins
Difficulty Advanced
Serves 8 people

Before starting to cook: Grease and flour two 1 ½ inch deep by 8 inch diameter baking pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and the baking powder together and set aside.

Batter Ingredients:

Beat together about 4 mins:
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine
1 ¼ cup sugar

One by one add the eggs, beating 1 min after each new egg:
3 eggs

Add slowly:
1 pinch of grated lime peel
2 TBSP. Vanilla extract

Alternatively separately mix 1/3 cup of orange juice first into batter above and mix well, then mix in 1/3 of flour/baking powder mix (about 2/3 plus 1/9 cup at a time) mixed well into batter above, continuing until all is mixed:

Sift together and set aside:
2 1/3 cup flour
2 tsp. Baking powder

1 cup orange juice


Meringue ingredients:
5 egg whites
½ cup sugar (for the caramel)
8 3/4 cup (2 1/2 lbs) powdered sugar, sifted (for the meringue)
½ cup water
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cream of tartar (optional)

Filling ingredients:
4 cups pineapple, cut into cubes (or strawberry, orange, peach or use pastry cream)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:
1. To prepare the filling: Mix all the ingredients together and simmer covered over low heat until the pineapple is tender and you obtain the consistency of marmalade. Stir often to avoid scorching. Cool to room temperature. Reserve.
2. To prepare the cake batter: Beat together the margarine, butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy and has a very light yellow color (about 4 mins).One by one add the eggs and continue beating about a minute after adding each new egg. Slowly add the lime peel and the vanilla. Add one-third of the orange juice, and when it is well mixed, add one-third of the flour. Repeat adding the flour and juice in thirds and keep whisking until all is well-mixed before adding the next third. As soon as you have stopped mixing the last batch of flour, turn off the mixer, and you should have obtained a fluffy batter with smooth and even consistency.
3. Pour half the pineapple mixture in each baking pan. Make sure you do not disturb the greased and floured bottom in the pan. Pour half the batter in each pan. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (about 30 mins). While the cake is baking, prepare the meringue.
4. To make the meringue: Prepare the caramel by boiling sugar and water over a very low heat until it reduces to a quarter of the original quantity. Make sure it doesn’t burn. In the meantime whisk the egg whites in a glass or stainless steel bowl until it forms peaks. Slowly add the sugar until it is completely mixed. Add the salt and cream of tartar while still whisking. Very slowly pour the caramel into the mixture while beating at high speed until all is mixed.
5. Cool down cakes to room temperature. Cut any crust that might have formed. Join both cakes marmalade side in. To decorate the cake spread the meringue on top and around the cake, adding decoration as you want to.
