No-bake Trifle Cake

-

This post is long overdue. I practiced this last October as I have no glassware to use inorder to showcase the beautiful layering that is the highlight of this cake. I called it no-bake because I am fortunate to find that the chiffon cake of Merci Bakeshop is the right one to use for this  recipe. Find some chiffon cake or bake one. I liked this chiffon because it is fluffy and has soft texture when it touches my tongue. 

I used fresh and canned as well as bottled strawberry, and canned peach during my practice but feel free to use fresh ones. Luckily, on the birthday of my nephew, I had fresh strawberries to top my trifle. 

This christmas, I will be using canned blueberries. This was a hit because of the ice-creamy filling.

Recipe:
The cake:
Chiffon cake

Slice cakes, thinly and in uniform sizes if possible

The Toppings:
Fruits, fresh, canned or jam
Granola, if desired

Slice fruits flat and thin. Set aside imperfect ones. Reserve the fruity jam or juice from canned fruit after fishing out some whole fruits. 

The Cream:
1 or 2 blocks of Cream Cheese 
(frozen variety like Magnolia which is available in the supermarket; more cheese the yummier the cream)
1 pack all purpose cream (pre-chilled) or the cream in can which is more densed
1 can condensed milk, use all or part depending on sweetness desired
Imperfect truits and its jam or juice, set aside above

Cube the cream cheese and put a portion in the blender, add cream and condensed milk and fruits. Do this by batch and place blended mixture in a pitcher.

The Trifle
In a glass jar or container, assemble a layer of the cake to cover the bottom, add the cream to cover the cake, then add the fruits giving attention that the fruits and granola appear on the wall of the container. Repeat until all is done. 

Place in the freezer and thaw for 15 minutes before serving.

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

Linabog nga Bisaya nga Manok

When I searched for Linabog in th web, I can see entries on Linabog but using a different souring agent and usually the fish called "pagi" is used. Also, they attribute Linabog to the Cebuanos and there is one video which explained that the word means "throw away" because the parts used in the dish are parts which are usually to be thrown away, like the bony "pagi." Meanwhile, there is also a "kinunot" way of cooking which means "hinimay" or flaked for the Luzon. The name was also coined for leftover parts of fish or chicken. In Hiligaynon, the word "labog" means forcefully thrown away.  This surprised me because when I was small, I heard from my father and his friends about this linabog and they used the leaves of labog plant. So I grew up having some idea of what linabog cooking means and definitely, the Cebuanos' definition of Linabog dish is far from my Ilonggo definition. And yes, Ilonggos ...

TIKUM KADLUM (The Enchanted Dog, The First of the Ten Epics of Panay Bukidnon)

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It...
