Leche flan has been a cherished family dessert enjoyed on various festive occassions and gatherings. Growing up, my mother Mariadoris Lorenzana would whip up llaneras of this custardy goodness which she would cook in a steamer overnight.

Although I never get to ask my mother how to make this perfect pairing of sweet, rich caramel and creamy custard, I knew that this is an easy one having just five ingredients - eggs, sugar, condensed milk, evaporated milk and lemon rind. Adding vanilla essence is optional.

With the yolks saved from making the merigue of the marshmallow frosting I did for the Campfire Cupcakes, I decided to have my maiden attempt on this Filipino Creme Caramel.

I started making the caramel by placing almost a cup of sugar into the pan which I have set over the stove on low heat using tongs. I dont't have llaneras so I opted to use two 8-inch round cake pan. I moved the pan repeatedly over flames until sugar is melted and amber in color.

I have used 16 yolks that I have saved plus 2 whole eggs. Beating it gently to ensure minimal formation of bubbles, I added 2 cans of condensed milk and 1 cup of full cream milk, rind from one lemon and two teaspoons of vanilla extract. The real secret to smooth and creamy leche flan is straining the egg-milk mixture before pouring into moulds.

I baked the flan in baine marie putting the mould or cake pan in a tray with about 1-inch of hot water in 375 degrees for 2 hours. It took a little bit longer to bake as I used a bigger container but this should have been cooked in 50 minutes if you use the standard llanera.

The outcome was the smoothest, creamiest, melt-in-your-mouth leche flan I have ever tasted. A WOW moment for a first-timer! =)

Better Than Chocolate Campfire Cupcakes

For some reasons I don't recall, Ginger Peñaflorida Palanca and I were talking about our favorite cakes on our way to lunch during one of the busy days last week. She claimed that Purple Oven's Chocolate Campfire is the best cake she had ever tasted. I agreed beyond question. Although not really the best that I have eaten, the cake gives comfort and joy as it brings back memories of childhood camping. The S'mores-y cake is the stuff delicious is made of.

Chocolate Campfire is a wonderful blob of white fluff that’s lightly torched, and inside is an ooey, gooey, moist chocolate cake. One bite of this surprisingly heavy cake is a delicious symphony of marshmallow and chocolate, reminiscent of s’mores, a favorite camping snack, minus graham crackers. So sinful, but oh so worth it.

The inspiration took my laidback weekend whole as I dediced to come up with a version that would rival the white fluff goodness and the decadence of the great cake. I used Heny Sison's Moist Chocolate Cake recipe, adjusted the quantity of the ingredients and added a little more fat to make it even moist. I surmised that I adding a chocolate cream filling will elevate my creation and I was never wrong. I got 60 cupcakes and ran out out the filling and so I used caramel fudge for some which was equally delectable.

For the frosting, it took me a while to decide which one to use and finally made Martha Stewart's recipe of marshmallow frosting. Consistency was a bit loose but remedied the setback by adding some confectioner's sugar. I was about to torch the frosting when I realized my butane refill was missing and so I decided to broil the frosting back in the oven. Making the meringue a little bit toasted elevated the cupcake's play on texture.

Topping the toasted meringue frosting with Graham cracker would be quite predictable, I thought. I used mini oreo cookies instead. I drizzled the cupcakes with some Hershey chocolate syrup and caramel fudge to make it even more sinful and sprinkled some semi-sweet chocolate chips! =)

John Andres Baltazar did the taste test and said it was better than the campfire...and so the name =)

These wonderful treats are for the people under my cluster. For the teams of ChelzySavannah Herrera Bermejo, Lei Angels, and Junelene Capuli Layon. Thank you for all the hard work and for doing well. Ginger, thanks for rousing the ever competitive baker in me! =)
