Mom & Tina's Brazo de Mercedes


A Swiss roll or jelly roll (or cream roll when so filled) is a type of sponge cake roll. A thin cake layer is made of flour, eggs, and sugar and baked in a very shallow rectangular baking tray, called a sheet pan. In the Philippines, it is called pianono, and has been adapted into several variations which use native flavors, such as ube and macapuno. A similar roll is the Brazo de Mercedes, Spanish for "Mercies´ arm. It however is composed of a soft meringue body and a custard core.

In Philippines, Goldilocks is famous for making my favorite Brazo De Mercedes (arms of mercedes). But one bakery cafe, Mom & Tina's makes a sweeter version of the custard cake.

A slice of brazo in the cafe is P60. So it would be more practical to buy a whole roll of this yummy cake
