Piquillo peppers cake filled with cream cheese and prawns

Today I will teach you how to prepare a Piquillo peppers cake, I discovered this curious recipe in a cooking magazine, although I changed the filling for another one I liked more, the truth is that I do not remember the filling of that recipe, but I wasn´t very convinced of it.

Piquillo peppers cake filled with cream cheese and prawns

At first glance it may seem very complicated, but I assure you it is not, so if you are looking for something to surprise your guests, dare with this salty cake, you will leave them astonished.

I have made this recipe using a cake pan of 20x30 cm. (8x12 inches) and I recommend you to cover the pan where the cake will be baked with baking paper so that it does not stick and thus avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Here is a small tutorial if you don't know how to line a mold with baking paper.

You can make a cake for four people with the quantities I give you, although you can also cut it into thinner slices and serve it as a starter for six people.

Have you ever seen a salty cake? Would you dare to cook it?

And if you have already tried this type of cakes, did you like them? Did they have any filling?

I hope you leave a comment answering some of my questions!
