Typical Dominican Cake

Bizcocho Dominicano, or "Dominican cake," is a type of cake popularized by bakeries out of the island of Dominican Republic. The cake is characterized by its moist and airy texture and meringue frosting. It is a popular fixture for special occasions, and is present at most events celebrated by Dominican families, including anniversaries, baby showers, communions, and birthdays.[1] The cakes can be found at many Dominican American bakeries and are also a popular seller of many successful home businesses.[2]

Ingredients and flavors

Like most cakes, primary ingredients include butter, flour, milk and eggs. A distinguishing factor of Dominican cake is its icing, or "suspiro." Suspiro is a type of frosting made of egg whites and sugar which are mixed together to form a meringue.[3] The most popular filling for Dominican cake is the baked-in pineapple filling,[4] but other fillings include guava, tres leches, and dulce de leche.[5]
