Quesadilla Salvadorena image

Quesadilla Salvadorena is a moist, sweet, cheese pound cake. The key to this recipe is the type of cheese used, Parmesan cheese. I invented this recipe to match the pre-made quesadilla you find at the grocery stores. Buen provecho!

Ingredients

3 eggs, separated
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 (4 ounce) package Parmesan cheese, finely grated
¾ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until firm, but not stiff.
Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Mix in egg yolks until well blended. Mix in Parmesan cheese gradually. Add sour cream and baking powder; beat until batter is smooth.
Sift rice flour over batter; fold in with a spatula. Fold in egg whites with the spatula.
Pour batter into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 38 minutes.
