HOW TO MAKE DOMINICAN CAKE

This one is huge. You don’t understand: making a dominican cake is to me like a graduation diploma. This process of finding a recipe that suited me, has been a fantastic pain in the butt learning experience.

So finally, after 4 tests, 3 dozen eggs, 16 sticks of butter and 5 pounds of flour, I humbly present you my recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Now, please do not be intimidated by this cake. The key is to divide and conquer: you may bake the cake and make the filling one night and the following morning you prepare the meringue and decorate. You know, piece by piece, like Jack the ripper :)

Since I’m no expert at decorating and frosting cakes (God knows I’m not!) I’d like to share with you some super helpful links that will aid you on your cake-frosting quest:
