Latiya (Lantiyas in CNMI dialect) is a Chamorro dessert from Guam made from sponge cake, vanilla custard, and cinnamon.

[1][5] Natillas are a traditional Spanish dessert custard served with sponge finger cakes.

[5] The Chamorro people would often change the letter N to L in Spanish words, so it is known as both latiya and natiya.

[6] The traditional Chamorro diet did not originally include milk, sugar, or cinnamon, so is thought to have introduced by the Spanish who also brought the practice of thickening sauces with starch and baking cakes.

[5] It is also possible that the dish became more popular after World War II, when the ingredients were more available to the general public.
