About the dish

Inipit is a popular Filipino dessert consisting of two sponge cakes combined with a creamy, custard-like filling. Although it exists in many versions, the most common combination of flavors is plain vanilla sponge with a mashed potato filling. It originated in the city of Malolos and was invented by Salome P. De Ramos in the 1940s. Nowadays, it is one of the most famous signature dessert stemming from the Bulacan region, and it is usually sold at traditional Filipino bakeries.
