The Vietnamese dessert you need to master! | Vietnamese flan cake | Marion’s Kitchen

Sponge cake. Velvety smooth custard. Golden toffee. Those triple layers bring home three times the flavour, if you ask me! Creme caramel meets the fluffiest sponge in what might just be one of my favourite ever desserts. This Vietnamese flan cake (also known as banh flan bong lan) is sweet and creamy, light and airy, plus that just-set toffee is taken juuuuust to the edge for a rich finish. A perfect pudding in my opinion - I’d love to know what you think!

There are many recipes of this in the Philippines too, pretty local, and got it from Spanish tradition of the Leche Flan. This milky egg custard Leche Plan is set on top of a chiffon cake mixture and can do on any mold, tiny, bigger in any shape or form. Local bakeries across the archipelago have this common , locally called Custard Cake. But there are bakeries that make thick Milky Egg Custard / Leche Flan on top a sponge cake or any cake mixture of choice. This is delicious.

I love Vietnamese flan, and I love Marion. Friday has been made!

[@damiann4734]

Such a brilliant idea in this recipes because the caramel sauce usually get thrown away. That sponge will absorb it and becomes another delicious dessert. 2 in 1 and nothing goes to waste. Love vietnamese recipes.

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

I had flan as a kid growing up in Colombia and it’s a nostalgic flavor that I love. It didn’t have the sponge cake on the bottom. This looks wonderful and I now know how to try and make it. Thank you.

[@hanhw0rld]

You my girl are Vietnamese at heart Marion. Thank you so much for the love of our culture and goodies, the food. Go girl!

[@Marionskitchen]

Awww thank you so much 🥰 I try my best!

[@thaobenn6339]

Thank you so much for sharing one of the delicious desserts, Marion. You inspired me to have a try. I haven't baked it before, even though I am Vietnamese. ❤️❤️

[@cmj1126]

I love when you do desserts, Marion!! Not the normal so it’s a nice surprise whenever you post a dessert video. This looks soo good!! Watching from Pennsylvania in the US and I absolutely love your channel! :)

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻

[@wolfhaven9312]

Looks like Mexican flan. Yummy custard dessert with caramel! ☺🍮

[@lisamolinar]

I'm watching you right now Marion and I'm like this has got to be the most decadent dessert next to tiramisu I love it thank you

[@nancyedwards4847]

Indeed this looks delicious and I need to master it.

[@LYNNELCHPHAN]

Hi Marion, Flan is one of my favorite desserts. Your flan looks so delicious! It makes me want to eat flan right now. Vietnamese people often eat Flan cake with a little coffee poured on top of the cake! 😄😊❤❤❤ Forgive me because I'm not very good at English. Hope you always make more delicious dishes!

[@gabrielvicente6027]

Good job Marion. i will try your recipe, but not sure if it turns out like yours. Thank you sharing and God bless

[@wokebear7797]

Yummm! Please, more desserts 😩💜

[@RG-yf3uj]

Goodness gracious that looks so good. All the textures & flavor palate.. Can't wait to try it 🤞🏼

[@matthewtoohey4103]

It wouldn't be a Marion video without her saying "All the things!" at least once, amirite? This looks delicious, Marion, and despite several of the elements being quite technical you make it seem so achievable. Would it be sacrilege to spin this recipe by flavouring either the custard or the cake? Chocolate and some kind of lemon/lime situation are my first thoughts. Perhaps even lemon, lime and bitters, using some of the bitters leftover from your chicken recipe the other day.

[@therealnancycarol]

Mmm, that looks so good! 💕💕💕

You hardly ever make desserts. This looks so amazing!! I am going to give it a try. I am a bit scared but hey. The only thing that can go wrong is wasted eggs arghhhh

[@dorothyyoung8231]

If you whisk the eggs before adding the other custard ingredients they’re less likely to form little specks.

[@rachkate76]

If you use an electric mixer there won’t be unblended bits of yolk.
