Trying to get back on the FFwD bandwagon this month, starting off with this goat cheese cake. It’s light, fluffy and a great balance of tart and sweet.
Goat cheese is great. Also, it’s actually lower in calories and easier to digest than many other cheeses because of the unusual structure of its component fats (yes, I recently had to do a product comparison project on different goat cheeses).
I used a little bit less sugar because I used 8 oz of Laura Chenel Chabis goat cheese (by far, one of the best US-produced goat cheeses in my book) and 1 oz of a Chevre with honey that I had left over, which was already pretty sweet itself.
Look at these cute spoon measures that my friends got me! I’ve been making good use of them.
Definitely a keeper recipe – nothing too intimidating, but fantastic and flexible. I think it would be great with a coulis or a dollop of creme fraiche.
ps. Things are all tied up in the May Ingredient of the Month poll – so get voting for your favorite(s)!
Welcome back!
Love the shell measuring spoons.
A coulis would definitely be a great finish to this cake.
Thanks, Cher! I think next time I am definitely making a coulis – maybe blood orange or blackcurrant.
Is there a recipe?
Hi, thanks for stopping by! This recipe is part of a cooking group I’m in – http://www.frenchfridayswithdorie.com/- so we do not post the recipes themselves, as they come from the Around the French Table book. Maybe you’ll be interested in joining!
Your torteau has such a nicely browned top! And I do love your cute spoons!
