Puto Cake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Here is a recipe for puto cake. It might sound new to you, so let me explain what to expect. If you are familiar with puto (which is a type of Filipino small rice cake), this is a bigger version of it. Aside from the size, this version is not dense — in fact, it is soft and lighter than traditional pinoy puto.

Puto Cake Recipe by Panlasang Pinoy

If you are looking for a recipe for soft puto, this is a good place to start. The use of cake flour is attributed to the light and soft texture of cake puto. Note that I added slices of salted eggs on top to make it taste better because the recipe was basic and does  not call for either vanilla extract or lemon rind. I think that the combination of the cake and salted eggs was a success. Watch the video below to see my facial reaction when I tried it 🙂

Let me quickly give you an idea why it is shaped oval. The mold that I used is responsible for this. Have you tried making leche flan before? I used that very same mold for to make this puto cake.
