Dominican Cake Mix
Why is Dominican cake different?
The most notable characteristics of the Bizcocho Dominicano (Dominican Cake) are its light, moist, and tropical taste. It contains a lot of butter, roughly a third of it, as well as a lot of air, resulting in a cake that almost dissolves in your mouth. Bizcocho Dominicano, or Dominican cake, is a sort of cake popularized by bakeries on the island of Hispaniola's Dominican Republic. The cake's soft and light quality, as well as the meringue frosting, set it apart.
Where is bizcocho from?

Suspiro
What is Suspiro Dominicano?
The Suspiro, also known as Dominican Frosting or Meringue, is used to frost Dominican Cakes, as well as to create cake borders and decorations.
What Suspiro/frosting can I use when baking the cake?
Egg whites are used to make it. The meringue that emerges has crisp peaks but a smooth texture, making it ideal for coating cakes and creating complex decorations. The Suspiro will either remain soft but with firm peaks after a few hours, depending on the quantity of sugar used, or it will begin to harden after a few hours, depending on the amount of sugar added.
