    This Torta de Mojicón is a traditional dessert from Bogotá, the capital and largest city of Colombia. This beautiful city is located in the center of the country and was declared a World Book Capital, by UNESCO, and Iberoamerican Capital of Culture, by the UCCI.

    Some of the most popular dishes of Bogotá are ajiaco, changua, carajillo, canelazo, almojábana, merengón, and chocolate caliente.

    Torta de Mojicón is a sweet and moist bread pudding cake made with Mojicones(Colombian sweet rolls) and guava paste. I love serving this dessert while it's still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup black coffee on the side. It’s very easy to make and is a fun cooking project with kids.

    Buen provecho!

      Dear Erica,
      I can't get Guava paste here in France, but I can get guava jam. Can I use this instead?
      Best wishes,

      Dear Erica,
      Since writing to you last time, I've just received a variation recipe for this cake. From my Colombian friend in London, he makes it with cooked plantain with sliced white bread crumbled plus other things and a spiced caramel in the base of the cake tin!!
