No, no tortillas were harmed in the making of this cake. It is similar to a pound cake and gets its unique flavor from a small amount of parmesan cheese. I was first introduced to this cake by my friend Rina and was so happy when I stumbled upon the recipe. It is especially good with coffee for breakfast. From Gourmet

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf cake, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising, sift before measuring)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature 30 minutes
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 ounce finely grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Line bottom and sides of 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter and sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Reduce speed to low and mix in milk. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Transfer batter to pan and smooth top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using). Bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool to warm in pan, 20 to 30 minutes. Turn cake out onto a rack. Serve cake slightly warm or at room temperature.
  • Cooks' note:
  • Cake keeps in an airtight container at room temperature 3 days.
