"This Guam Mariana Island Chamorro latiya dessert cake is a scrumptious combination of pound cake, egg custard, and cinnamon. It's the perfect cake to make ahead of time as it keep well in your fridge for two days before serving."
Latiya, pronounced la-tee-dza, is Guam's yummy cake. It is custard poured over sponge cake or pound cake. The custard is made with or without eggs, however the recipe in A Taste of Guam uses eggs for a rich, luscious and delish dessert.
This dessert is a classic Chamorro dish, hailing from Guam and its surrounding islands, and is a family favorite of Feedfeed’s @marandaeve! Slices of fluffy pound cake are topped with a homemade custard flecked with vanilla bean and packed with bits of fresh mango (a non-traditional, but welcome pop of tropical, fruity flavor!).
COCONUT LATIYA PRINT RECIPE. This is the ultimate in latiya. I love my original latiya recipe with eggs, evaporated milk and the not-too-sweet pound cake.
