This fragrant and rustic cake is inspired by a recipe from the famous Venezuelan cookbook, “Mi Cocina a La Manera de Caracas” by Armando Scannone. Also known as the "Red Book," the cookbook is beloved in my family; we've used it as a reference for most of our recipes over the years. Made with ripe plantains, spices and toasted sesame seeds, this dense cake is one of my favorites. The savory and sweet notes from the white cheese and papelón really make it special. I recommend baking the plantains and making the syrup the day before, so you can start baking the cake right away.
