Afuega' l Pitu cake
- Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
Serves 6/8:
- 200 gr. Afuega' l Pitu white cheese
- 25 gr. Afuega' l Pitu red cheese
- 400 ml. Condensed milk
- 600 ml. Liquid cream
- 200 ml. Fresh milk
- 125 gr. Sugar
- 3 eggs
- Jam
- Salt
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Once mixed, add the cream and milk and make a uniform mixture.
- To this mixture we have just prepared, add the white Afuega' l Pitu cheese in small pieces so that it dilutes more easily. Beat until the cheese is completely incorporated into the mixture.
- Repeat this process with the red Afuega' l Pitu.
- Once this mixture is ready, add the condensed milk, sugar and pinch of salt. Beat again until the ingredients are blended.
- Preheat the oven to 165 degrees.
- While the oven is heating, choose the mould and grease it with butter so that the mixture does not stick when baking.
- Pour the mixture into the mould and put it in the oven for 50 minutes. The time will depend on the texture we want, we can leave it for 5 or 10 minutes more. We will know that the cake is done because the edges will be toasted.
- Once this time has elapsed, take the cake out of the oven and leave it to rest at room temperature.
- Finally, add the jam, which can be made while the cake is in the mould and cooling, or directly on the plate.
The Afuega' l Pitu Cheese Cake can be enjoyed in all the "Tierra Astur" cider houses: Gascona, 1 and Gascona, 9 in Oviedo/Uviéu; Polígono del Águila del Nora in Colloto/Cualloto (Siero); in Mariano Pola, 10-12-14 Gijón/Xixón and San Francisco, 4 Avilés.
