Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:

For the dough:
- 200 g butter or margarine, at room temperature
- 1 cup of sugar (about 200 g)
- 5 medium eggs
- 2 cups of flour (about 300 g)
- 1 cup of milk (about 250 ml)
- 10 g baking powder
- 2 packets of cappuccino (about 20 g)
- 2-3 packets of vanilla sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa (about 20 g)

For the filling:
- 1 kg sweet cottage cheese, well drained
- 1 cup of sugar (about 200 g)
- 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream (depending on the texture of the cheese)
- 5 medium eggs
- Zest of one lemon
- 3 packets of vanilla sugar
- 4 tablespoons of flour (about 60 g)

For the chocolate glaze:
- 50 g butter or margarine
- 6 tablespoons of sugar (about 90 g)
- 10 tablespoons of water (about 150 ml)
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa (about 30 g)
- A drop of rum essence

Dough preparation:

1. In a large bowl, start by creaming the butter or margarine with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Use a spatula or mixer until the sugar melts and the mixture becomes fluffy.

2. Separate the eggs: wash them well, then separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add one yolk at a time to the butter mixture, mixing vigorously after each addition.

3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form a firm foam. This step will ensure a fluffy texture for the cake.

4. Gradually fold the beaten egg whites into the butter and yolk mixture, mixing with gentle up-and-down motions to preserve the air in the egg whites.

5. In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the main composition, continuing to mix from the bottom up.

6. Finally, add the cappuccino and cocoa, ensuring everything is well combined. The dough consistency should be thicker than that of a loaf cake, so adjust the amount of flour if necessary.

Filling preparation:

1. In another bowl, cream the cottage cheese with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the sugar melts and the mixture becomes smooth.

2. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each. Add the sour cream, lemon zest, flour, and mix until everything is well incorporated without lumps.

3. Make sure the cottage cheese is well drained. If it is too watery, you can drain it a bit before using it.

Cake assembly:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

2. Pour 3/4 of the dough into the dish, then add the cheese filling, spreading it evenly.

3. Use the remaining dough to create a swirl pattern on top of the filling, making sure to cover it evenly.

4. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test. Finally, let it cool.

Glaze preparation:

1. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

2. Once the mixture boils, add the butter or margarine and continue to stir until completely melted.

3. Turn off the heat and add the rum essence, mixing well.

4. Meanwhile, make sure the cake has cooled completely, then pour the hot glaze over it.

5. Let the cake cool again, then you can slice and serve it with love.

Useful tips:

- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as ricotta, for a different filling texture.
- If you love chocolate, you can add dark chocolate chunks to the dough or filling.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a berry sauce or vanilla ice cream.
