Instructions:
-
Separate Egg Yolks from Egg Whites:
Carefully separate the yolks from the whites, ensuring no yolks mix with the whites. -
Beat Egg Whites:
Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and they become foamy. -
Mix in Cashew Nuts:
Add the finely chopped cashew nuts to the beaten egg whites and mix well to incorporate. -
Prepare Baking Sheets:
Line 7 to 8 baking sheets with wax paper to prevent sticking. -
Spread Egg White Mixture:
Pour the egg white and cashew nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spreading evenly. -
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the egg white mixture for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. -
Remove Wax Paper:
Once baked, carefully remove the wax paper lining from the baked egg whites. Handle with care to avoid breaking them. -
Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture:
Beat the egg yolks until they turn a lemon color. -
Make Syrup:
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of water. Boil until the mixture thickens enough to form a soft ball when dropped into cold water. -
Combine Syrup with Egg Yolks:
Gradually add the syrup to the beaten egg yolks, ensuring it blends well with the mixture. Set aside to cool. -
Cream Butter:
Cream the butter until smooth and creamy. -
Incorporate Egg Yolk Mixture:
Once the egg yolk mixture has cooled, add it to the creamed butter, mixing until well combined. -
Assemble Layers:
Spread the cream mixture onto each layer of the baked egg whites, creating a delicious sandwich-like structure. -
Stack Layers:
Carefully stack the 7 to 8 layers of baked egg whites on top of each other, forming the Gateau Sans Rival. -
Cover with Cream Mixture:
Cover the top and sides of the assembled Gateau Sans Rival with the remaining cream mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. -
Garnish:
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the Gateau Sans Rival for an extra layer of flavor and decoration. -
Chill and Serve:
Chill the Gateau Sans Rival in the refrigerator until firm. Once chilled, slice and serve cold, delighting in every bite of this decadent Filipino treat.
