For starters, sample\u00a0<\/strong>their Original Flavor <\/strong>made with milk and flour in a perfect ratio of eggs to create a golden mixture that fluffs into the cake. The cake is bouncy, fluffy, and moist so much that it does not leave a dry mouthfeel.<\/p>\n

Original Cake is named such because the owner created this castella cake recipe with the cakes from his childhood in mind.\u00a0Since 2010, the brand has been committed to delivering these traditional cakes across the world, and now, in the Philippines!<\/p>\n

Taiwan is known for revolutionizing castella cakes into having multiple layers of cheese in between instead of mixing it in the batter. Their bestselling\u00a0Golden Cheese Flavor<\/strong>, for one,\u00a0<\/strong>features layers of sliced cheese that becomes gooey and extra delicious when it comes out of the oven.<\/p>\n

With every country they open a branch in, Original Cake uses local ingredients and trains their bakers well enough to promise freshly baked cakes each time.<\/p>\n

In the Philippines, they source natural ingredients from local farmers, including a specially milled flour with their secret recipe that makes the cakes extra fluffy!<\/p>\n

For chocolate lovers, you wouldn\u2019t want to pass out on their\u00a0Chocolate Flavor<\/strong>\u00a0because they use rich Hershey’s chocolate chips in layers for that dark bittersweet chocolate flavor. Expect a strong chocolate aroma as you open a fresh box!<\/p>\n

From Taiwan with love, they have introduced a flavor that matches our country’s tropical climate: the Pandan Flavor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take a bite of the bright green cake\u00a0under a perfectly\u00a0browned top with cheese powder. The pandan taste is mild\u2014a great pair to a good milk tea!<\/p>\n

Another new flavor they recently introduced is the Chicken Floss,<\/strong> which is now available at their stores all over\u00a0Metro Manila!<\/p>\n

All branches of Original Cake are window stores that feature their oven for anyone to watch how the cakes are taken out of the oven, cut into their take-home sizes, and packed into their iconic boxes.<\/p>\n
