Here’s What Happened."},"content":{"rendered":"My family and I have been lovers of silvanas for as long as I can remember. Made of cashew meringue cookies slathered with delicious buttercream<\/a>, silvanas are pretty hard to resist. They're the handy cookie version of another equally famous Filipino cake, sans rival.<\/em> I was introduced to silvanas as early as my childhood years, but back then it never struck me to be curious about how it's made. The only important thing to me was that it was delicious!\r\n\r\nMany years later, when I first started learning how to bake, I always had the impression that silvanas were difficult to make at home. To my teenage mind, it was such a complex recipe that I decided I would only attempt it when I felt ready. After years of home baking experience, the time has finally come. And as it turns out, it's not as hard as I thought it would be!\r\n

Silvanas Recipe<\/h2>\r\n\"silvanas\r\n\r\nSilvanas, sometimes spelled sylvanas or sylvannas, are a frozen sandwich cookie originating from the Philippines. It has three main components that make it utterly delicious: the cashew meringue cookies, the rich buttercream and the cookie crumb coating.\r\n\r\nI found this recipe from The Unlikely Baker<\/a>, and it produces silvanas that taste really close to our favorite brand. I can't tell you enough how satisfying that first bite was!\r\n\r\n(For another Filipino baked good, learn how to make ube bread<\/a>, which is a gorgeous purple treat!)\r\n
