Nena, I’m from CdeOro. Our torta is entirely different from the Cebu torta. Denny Chaves’ 2 daughters Ingrid and Donna know how to make the tortas.
Cdeo torta is made of egg yolk, butter, pork fat and yeast. Not just any pork fat, I heard it is the fat particularly inside the stomach.

I will try your torta recipe soon. My friend just came back from Cebu and she gave me a two dozens torta baking tins and the paper. Would you be kind enough to send me the mandaue bibingka recipe? I used to eat this dessert when I was still a student at The University of San Carlos.

Thank you very much.

OMG! I just tried this. I followed the recipe to the T and it turned out so good. With the exception of putting the brandied raisins, since I don’t like raisins. I didn’t have a torta pan, so I used a cupcake pan instead. It still turned out so good. I ended up with 60 cupcakes and If I didn’t give any away, I would have eaten it all. That batch only lasted one day. Thank you so much for posting the recipe.

Apicio, we have a set Espasa Calpe in our library here in our school. Since they are in Spanish nobody seems to care for them anymore.

i dont use wax paper to line the molds…try coffee filter papers..it will drain the oils a little bit…in the southern municipalities of Cebu province like Carcar, Oslob,Dalagute, etc, pork oil is used, but for those health buffs, vege oils is good too…for leavening, they also use the tuba wine…this way your torta will last longer..
