I was given this recipe from the ex-Mayor of Banyalbufar whose family also owns the delightful @sonborguny_restaurante and hotel. After retiring, Mateo discovered a talent for baking and now makes the cakes consumed at breakfast.
I loved how moist the cake was and asked for the recipe. It transpired that so do most of the guests who stay at the hotel too!
Anyway, as a thank you, I promised I would be making the cake and posting the recipe. I like this cake served with macerated strawberries but it is delicious eaten on its own too!
Ingredients (serves 16-20)
- 1kg light cream cheese
- 8 medium eggs
- 280g caster sugar
- 25g rice flour
- 500g single cream
Method
In a bowl whisk all the ingredients to blend, pour into a greased cake tin measuring 20cm in diameter and bake in a preheated oven at 210 C conventional for 35 minutes uncovered. Cover with foil and continue cooking for 15 more minutes. Take out of the oven, leave to cool and chill in the fridge.
I like it soft, creamy and gooey so take out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Thank you Mateo!
