Just want to let everyone know that we’ve added another pick-up point for the coffee mangosteen cakes. You can now also pick up your order at Market Market, G floor @ Kaliq stall/kiosk. Thanks.

Fill a coffee flavoured sponge cake or butter cake layers with Damson plum jam and use a buttercream with cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon as a frosting. Easy on the spices.
You might also try filling linzer tarts with damson plum for an atrociously delicious cookie.

I am eating the famed cake as I type this… and it is GOOOOOD. Good if you love the taste of coffee in cake which I so do. MM was spot on when he said that the cake is dense but light. It looks substantial and packed but I snorted a good slab in no time. From St. Francis, I crossed to Pollo Loco in Megamall for dinner with a box of this cake gem and nakupu, sinintensyahan ko na agad with my friends who bugged me to cut the stuff! YUMMY indeed. As sa totoo lang, parang masarap din their food which they were serving in the St. Francis food court like the rellenong bangus… I just don’t like that tiangge mall’s ambience. Yeah, I wish the jam was thicker. I’d ask for extra next time. Good stuff.

Thanks for this cake tip, MM! :)

Hello Onie,

I actually was able to taste this wonderful cake last Wednesday. I think it tastes great.. although I have to agree with MarketMan that the coffee flavor has a tendency to drown out the mangosteen jam flavor.. But I still believe that it is a well - flavored cake. I also like the fact that it not too dry nor too moist.. just right.. The cake is thick but I do admire that the sides or edges are not burnt, as I’ve encountered cakes in the past of the same size that has a tendency to get those nasty burns..

For what it’s worth, I’m gonna try this out again.. ;)

CecileJ, I agree, they will have to settle on the “ideal” version and stick with that consistently over the months to come… sister, that suggestion sounds terrific, and seeing as how we are flush with jam at the moment, will have to try that soon… Maybe even one with damson plum jam with a chocolate icing???
