Ingredients
For the base:
- 6 eggs (separated)
- 100 ml oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 4 tablespoons flour
For the cream:
- 500 g Philadelphia cream cheese (or similar cheese)
- 1 package of butter (or margarine) at room temperature
- 150 g sugar
For the glaze:
- 850 ml Fanta Madness (or another fruity fizzy drink)
- 2 packets of vanilla pudding
- 5 tablespoons sugar
Preparation
Step 1: Preparing the base
1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. It's important to have the oven well heated to achieve a fluffy base.
2. In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Use a mixer to beat the egg whites until they become a firm, slightly shiny foam. This step is crucial for the final texture of the cake.
3. In another bowl, combine the yolks with the sugar and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Gradually add the oil, mixing continuously to integrate all the ingredients.
4. In another container, mix the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Sifting these ingredients will help you achieve a fluffier base, without lumps.
5. Add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture and homogenize with a spatula.
6. Take a tablespoon of the egg white foam and incorporate it into the yolk mixture, mixing gently. This will help maintain the air in the egg whites, which is essential for a fluffy base. Repeat this step until all the egg white is incorporated.
7. Grease a small baking dish with oil and dust it with flour. You can use a dish of about 20x30 cm to obtain a thicker base.
8. Pour the mixture into the dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the base is firm to the touch. Check if it's ready by inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the base is perfect.
Step 2: Preparing the cream cheese
1. Once the base has cooled completely, move on to preparing the cream. In a bowl, cream the butter with the sugar until it becomes a fluffy, bright white mixture. This will give an airy texture to your cream.
2. Add the cream cheese and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature; otherwise, it will form a paste.
3. Spread the cream cheese evenly over the cooled base. Now the cake begins to take shape and looks delicious. You can use your spatula to achieve an even layer.
Step 3: Preparing the glaze
1. In a medium saucepan, add Fanta Madness and sugar, then bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. When the mixture reaches the boiling point, add the vanilla pudding. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
3. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly, but not completely. It's important for the glaze to be warm when you pour it over the cake, so it spreads evenly.
4. Pour the warm glaze over the cream cheese and let the cake cool completely. Then, put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours so that the glaze sets.
Step 4: Serving
1. Once the cake is well cooled and the glaze has set, you can start slicing it. Use a sharp knife to obtain even portions.
2. Place each slice on a plate and, for an extra touch of elegance, you can decorate with fresh fruit slices or caramel sauce.
3. This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fragrant fruit tea. The sweet and slightly tangy taste of the cake will harmonize excellently with a cold drink.
Tips and Variations
- You can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the cream cheese for an even more intense flavor.
- If you can't find Fanta Madness, you can use any fruity fizzy drink.
- For a lighter version, you can replace the butter with Greek yogurt.
Nutritional Benefits
This cake brings benefits through its cheese content, which is a good source of protein and calcium. Additionally, the fruit juice adds a splash of vitamins. However, it is best to consume the cake in moderation, considering its sugar content.
