Necessary ingredients
*For the dough:*
- 2 eggs
- 16 tablespoons sugar
- 12 tablespoons oil (choose sunflower or canola oil for a neutral taste)
- 16 tablespoons milk (whole milk provides a richer texture)
- 16 tablespoons flour
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder
*For the cheese filling:*
- 1 kg sweet cottage cheese (opt for well-drained cheese to avoid excess moisture)
- 4 eggs
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 100 g raisins (you can also use other dried fruits like apricots or cranberries to vary the flavors)
- Grated zest of one lemon (for a touch of freshness)
Preparing the cake
1. Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using a whisk until they become frothy and double in volume. This is the crucial step to achieve a fluffy cake. Add the oil and milk, mixing continuously to integrate the ingredients.
2. Incorporating dry ingredients
Sift the flour together with the baking powder and vanilla sugar, then gradually incorporate them into the egg mixture, being careful not to form lumps. The dough should be thicker than pancake batter, but still pourable.
3. Preparing the cheese filling
In another bowl, mix the sweet cottage cheese with the eggs and sugar, using a spatula or a mixer on low speed. Add the raisins and lemon zest, mixing until evenly combined. This mixture will add a creamy texture and intense flavor to your cake.
4. Preparing the pan
Grease a baking pan with oil or butter and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This step is essential to ensure easy release of the cake after baking.
5. Assembling the cake
Pour the dough into the pan, leveling it evenly. Then, add the cheese mixture on top, spreading it gently with a spoon for an even distribution.
6. Baking
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Bake the cake for 40-50 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. During baking, the aroma of cheese and lemon will spread throughout the house, making you eagerly await to enjoy it.
7. Cooling and serving
After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. You can serve it plain or dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance.
Serving suggestions and variations
This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream. You can also experiment with various flavors by adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the cheese mixture for a more complex taste.
