This stunning three-layer fluffy sponge cake definitely satisfies your yearning for yema. Abundantly filled and draped with creamy golden yema frosting — with a surprise sweet mango chunks in the middle — this confection is further accented with parmesan crisps on top and peppered with almond slivers.

The result: A smooth, rich and creamy bite with a fruity aftertaste and a nice crunch in the end.

The yema filling, says chef Gina Arceo of Marco Polo Plaza Cebu, is simply made with egg yolks, condensed milk, cream cheese and butter. It's been one of the most popular cakes in the hotel.

Available only in six-inch round cake for P980 at the Lobby Lounge. Call a day in advance at 0919-0836768 or visit www.marcopoloplazacebu.com. For pick-up only at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu, Cebu Veterans Drive, Nivel Hills, Apas, Cebu City.
