Total preparation time: 50 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:

For the dough:
- 4 large eggs
- 12 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 12 tablespoons of sunflower oil
- 12 tablespoons of full-fat milk (3.5%)
- 1 g of iodized salt (about a pinch)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 12 tablespoons of white wheat flour

For the cheese filling:
- 500 g of cottage cheese (preferably homemade for an authentic taste)
- 2 eggs
- 200 g of powdered sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help with better homogenization of the mixture. If using homemade cottage cheese, ensure it is well-drained.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar until you get a fluffy, light-colored mixture. It is important to spend a few minutes on this step as the air introduced will make the cake fluffy.

3. Adding liquid ingredients: Next, add the oil and milk, mixing well until homogeneous.

4. Mixing dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the egg composition and gently mix with a spatula until there are no traces of flour. Be careful not to overmix to avoid gluten development, which could make the cake dense.

5. Preparing the cheese filling: In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and juice. It is important to homogenize the mixture well but not to overmix to preserve the creamy texture of the cheese.

6. Assembling the cake: Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pour the dough into the tray, leveling it evenly. Using a spoon, take portions of the cheese mixture and place them in the dough, creating small "nuggets" of cheese.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and passes the toothpick test (inserted in the middle, it should come out clean).

8. Cooling and serving: After the cake is baked, let it cool completely in the tray. After cooling, dust it with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant look.

Useful tips:
- If you want an even more intense lemon flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the cheese mixture.
- This cake keeps very well in the fridge, so you can prepare it in advance for a special occasion.
- You can serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious contrast.

Nutritional benefits:
Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, while lemon provides vitamin C, being a powerful antioxidant. This dessert is not only tasty but also a healthier choice compared to other cakes filled with fats and refined sugars.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use store-bought cottage cheese?
Yes, but make sure to choose a quality cheese with a low-fat content to maintain the desired taste and texture.

2. How can I improve the texture of the cake?
Using room temperature eggs and correctly mixing the ingredients are essential for achieving a fluffy cake.

3. What serving option do you recommend?
You can add a berry sauce or strawberry puree to enhance the flavors of the cake.

In conclusion, the cheesecake and lemon poured cake is an excellent choice for any occasion - whether it’s a gathering with friends or a family meal. With a bit of patience and creativity, you will create a dessert that will quickly become everyone's favorite. So, don’t hesitate and prepare this delicacy that will bring joy and satisfaction.
