Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
- 6 eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 cups sugar (preferably brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
- 1 liter corasla (or fermented milk)
- 12 cubes brown sugar (for caramel)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar

The story behind the cake

Corasla, the main ingredient of this cake, is a delicacy that adds flavor and moisture. This cake was inspired by old traditions where sweets were made with simple yet flavorful ingredients. The caramel cream, with its velvety texture and intense caramel flavor, perfectly complements the cake, adding a layer of elegance.

Step by step: Preparing the corasla cake

1. Preparing the ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This is a crucial step, as it helps to homogenize the mixture and achieve a fluffy texture.

2. Mixing the eggs: In a blender, add the 6 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, vanilla sugar, and rum essence. Blend on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy. It’s important to ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved in the eggs.

3. Adding the corasla: Once the eggs are well mixed, add the corasla and blend for another 2 minutes. This will give the cake a moist texture and a pleasant fermented milk flavor.

4. Preparing the pan: Grease a baking dish with butter, making sure it is well coated to prevent the cake from sticking. Then, pour the prepared mixture into the dish.

5. Bain-marie: Place the dish in a larger tray and fill the tray with warm water so that the water reaches halfway up the dish with the mixture. This bain-marie baking method will ensure even cooking and keep the cake soft and fluffy.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius and bake the cake for 45 minutes. It’s important not to open the oven door during the first 30 minutes to prevent the temperature from dropping.

7. Cooling: When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the dish. This step is essential as it allows the cake to stabilize and not sink.

Preparing the caramel cream

1. Caramelizing the sugar: In a small saucepan, melt the 12 cubes of brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. When the sugar turns golden and liquid, remove it from the heat.

2. Applying the caramel: Let the caramel cool slightly, then carefully pour it over the cooled cake in thin layers. This will create a crispy caramel crust that perfectly contrasts the soft texture of the cake.
