The tropical flavors of pineapple and citrus from the lemon zest add to its summer feel. The procedure is pretty easy and straightforward. Towards the middle of the baking process, the pineapple chunks are added as a topping to the cake and you continue baking it for a few more minutes. Bring this as a potluck dessert or enjoy with friends during barbecues. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-a-pineapple-summer-cake-for-sundaysupper/feed/ 11 5771 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-apple-crumb-pie-with-cinnamon/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-apple-crumb-pie-with-cinnamon/#respond Sun, 01 Nov 2015 19:47:51 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5441 I started the autumn season baking pies and as October ended yesterday made this Apple Crumb Pie.

Instead of the usual ube chiffon cake we, Filipinos are used to, I baked a pound cake  using boiled ube (purple yam). This ube pound cake had a heavy, rich texture. Every slice was plump and magnificent, made more magical by the ube glaze cascading down all sides.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ube-pound-cake-with-ube-glaze/feed/ 31 4835 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ensaimadas-filipino-brioche-buns-with-butter-and-cheese/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ensaimadas-filipino-brioche-buns-with-butter-and-cheese/#comments Sat, 06 Dec 2014 17:40:57 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4814 Ensaymadas (say 'enh-sey-mah-das') are brioche buns baked with eggs, cheese and butter in the dough. This is one of the most iconic symbols of the holidays in the Philippines, although the ensaymada is available year round, too. Since I cannot find any good ensaymadas here in America, I started baking my own batch. The two-day process may seem tedious at first, but once the buttery buns are out of the oven, you will realize it was all worth it. Bake them ahead, freeze and reheat them for a more convenient pace. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ensaimadas-filipino-brioche-buns-with-butter-and-cheese/feed/ 8 4814 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-mini-cheesecakes-from-the-hello-kitty-baking-book/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-mini-cheesecakes-from-the-hello-kitty-baking-book/#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:35:02 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4711 I have loved Hello Kitty for a long time so it was a delight to bake these Mini Cheesecakes from the Hello Kitty Cookbook.

It is made from ube, a tuber, starchy ingredient that grows in Southeast Asian countries. Ube is often added to desserts, cakes, snacks or sweet treats. It has a creamy almond-like flavor and a gentle nearly floral aroma. The purple color of ube makes it one of the most gorgeous ingredients anywhere.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ube-purple-yam-ice-cream/feed/ 0 4453
