Guava Cake

How about a taste of Brazil for breakfast?  Go shopping in the ethnic section of your grocery store for guava paste (sometimes called guava cheese) and maize flour (flakes of corn, not powder like cornmeal).  Then enjoy this with a strong, black cup of coffee and pretend you're here.

5 TBS. butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 cup natural yogurt

2 cups maize flour 

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 TBS. baking powder

1 cup guava paste, cut into cubes

Grease and flour a square pan.  Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and yogurt until creamy.  Add maize flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.  Mix well.  Pour into prepared pan and top evenly with guava paste squares.  Push squares down into the cake.  Bake at 325˚ for about 30 minutes.
