BIEN ME SABE (VENEZUELAN COCONUT LAYER CAKE)



Bien Me Sabe (Venezuelan Coconut Layer Cake) image

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT; this is an adaptation of several recipes. "Bien Me Sabe" translates as "Tastes Good To Me", and there are regional variations across Spanish-speaking countries. This is a traditional (very sweet) dessert in Venezuela. I would describe this as similar to Tiramisu, but the Venezuelan Bien Me Sabe typically has a distinctive meringue topping. As a make-ahead alternative, bake individual meringues (using pastry bag with tip) on parchment paper and place on refrigerated cake mixture just before serving.

  • You will need two baking pans and a large mixing bowl. I use two square pans 10” by 10” and 1.5” deep. My mixing bowl is 7 quarts.
  • If you are making coconut milk from fresh coconuts: in a pan, place the chopped coconut meat and hot water. If using high heat, bring to a boil and let gently roil for about 10 minutes. Mix together well and strain through cheesecloth: you have coconut milk!
  • Mix the cup of water and sugar in a pan over high heat for 15 minutes without stirring. Turn off the heat.
  • On top of a bowl sitting on your hot-water filled pan on low heat—it’s time for a baño de maria, again—place a second bowl holding your egg whites, sugar and salt.
