Sans rival may sound French, but it is very much Filipino. 🇵🇭 Food historian Doreen G. Fernandez suggests it was inspired by French cakes like dacquoise or gâteau de succès, yet it does not appear in French cookbooks or even early Filipino ones.
What we love the most about this local classic cake is how our local ingredients like cashews are highlighted in a refined way that deserves more international recognition. Do you also love sans rival? 🎂
SANS RIVAL
From the book: 1973 Recipes of the Philippines page 110
Ingredients:
Meringue layers:
6 egg whites
¼ tsp cream of tartare
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups cashew nuts, finely chopped
Filling:
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
1 tsp corn syrup
150g butter, softened
½ cup chopped cashew nuts, for garnish
Procedure:
1. Using a stand mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually add sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Fold in chopped cashews. Spread thinly onto 4 lined 8”x14” trays. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 30 mins or until golden. Cool completely.
2. In a saucepan, boil sugar, water, and corn syrup (no stirring) until it reaches soft ball stage.
3. In a stand mixer, beat egg yolks until pale, then slowly pour in the syrup while beating. Once cool, add butter gradually until smooth.
4. In a cake board or dish, layer meringue and buttercream, stacking like a cake. Cover top and sides with more buttercream and finish with chopped cashews. Chill before slicing. Makes 10-12 slices.

Yo, where's the recipe? MUKHANG MASARAP ANG CAKE NYO!
Besides the form, what are the differences between sans rival and silvanas in terms of taste, texture, storage, etc., if any?
What I keep reading online is that they're basically the same, but there seems to be established camps prefering one over the other.
Where is the recipe?
You forgot the recipe
More filipino history po
Of course it's the best, hence the name lol
It is literally French butter creamQ
Is your recipe for the regular sans rival? It seems like your meringue layers are soft.
Wow ! Sansrival was our favorite . Thank you for sharing this video . 😊
Not really forgotten, I saw the latest British Baking competition and they had an episode that featured French Dacquoise 😊

I've never tasted a sans rival that isn't overly sweet. Is it supposed to be that way? I love desserts I hate too much sugar in it.,
What is your recipe please

It's more like Silvanas cake/cakebar to our humble and gentle city, Dumaguete. Ali kamo at dayun ug mag Silvanas sa Sans Rival na kita! ✨
There actually is a version of this dessert in a very old French cookbook. Interestingly, it never really became as popular and was basically forgotten.
Sans Rival if translated from French means "without rival" because it really is the best cake 😌
So yummy delicious 😋♥️please Recipe

Dumaguete po to be exact.. same as silvanas. Dumaguete din.

Would you not roast the cashews first, to give it more flavour?
Ang sarap
Sans Rival and Braso de Mercedes was my favorite Filipino cakes 😍🤤
Favorite thing. The best Sans Rival can be found in Baguio.

In my culture, Tikim means ‘taste’!😊
When talking about sansrival! I know where you can find the best in PH try this Daisee's bakeshop at Manila Times in Las Pinas! Every single soul I told about that became a regular.

Moca- torte, a coffee flavored sans rival
Taking from other cultures is really what ALL cultures do anyway, thats how culture survives and grows by being influenced by other cultures
Sans rival!🤤🤤🤤
looks so delicious!!
Isa s paborito ko
WAHT we eat Frenchcake?!
It's so good if you put leche flan in the middle – but make sure the sansrival itself is done with less sugar.
Sans Rival is kinda close from King Cake from Louisiana by Appearance but Sans Rival is more Beige or Mocha color while King Cake is a combination of Green and Violet colors
