Oh, how my heart
aches for sansrival...
This
Filipino pastry, aptly named "without rival", is made of
sugar-coated butter slabs sandwiched between
meringue. This would not be the
dance, but an
egg white and sugar mixture baked until golden brown. To add further flavor and character, the sansrival is coated in ground
cashew nuts.
The rough
ratio of all these ingredients is about 2:1:1 for the butter:egg:cashews, making this a
horrible cake to buy for celebrating a
septuagenarian's birthday.
Eat it while you're young, and before your
acne problems start!
