Equipment

  • 1-2 baking vessels about the same size or diameter. Round spring release pans work great.

Ingredients

  • ricotta, whole fat milk
  • yogurt, whole fat milk
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 guava (size of lime will work)
  • 2-3 frozen strawberries
  • black cocoa
  • maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare two deep cake baking pans. Cake release cans work best. Spray sides to prevent sticking.
  • Add a layer of black cocoa on the bottom of one pan. You can alternate with Instant coffee or fine graham cracker crumbs that would also work.
  • Mix ricotta, yogurt, and egg.
  • Divide batter in half if you want to make two separate layers. Pour into each baking vessel.
  • Add guava to one vessel and strawberries to the other vessel. Optional: reserve some of the guava for topping.
  • Bake on 325°F/165°C for over one hour until cake is set. Sides will start to brown and may shrink/pull away from the baking vessel
  • Let cake(s) fully cool. Then remove from pan and assemble the layers.
  • Decorate/top with guava, berry jam, fruit, and or yogurt.
  • Drizzle with maple sugar for sweet.
