Rustic Cake

We start this delicious recipe by preparing the base mixture. In a large bowl, whisk the whole eggs with the sugar, using a whisk or a mixer on medium speed. It is essential to continue mixing until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes a light, slightly frothy cream. This will contribute to an airy texture of the cake.

Next, add the yogurt, which you have previously mixed with the baking powder, ensuring it is well incorporated. The oil, poured in a thin stream, will bring moisture and help achieve a fluffy cake. Mix everything until the ingredients are completely integrated. Now, add the sifted flour, an important step that will ensure an even cake without lumps. Gently mix until you obtain a thick batter that flows easily.

Prepare a 25x36 cm tray, which you line with baking paper to prevent sticking. Carefully pour the batter into the tray and level it evenly. Place the tray in the preheated oven at moderate heat and bake for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese. Mix the cheese with the sugar, eggs, vanilla essence, raisins, and baking powder. It is important to let this mixture sit on the kitchen counter to reach room temperature, which will help in its homogenization.

In parallel, wash the plums and then cut them into quarters. Dust them with vanilla sugar and cinnamon, gently mixing to coat them evenly. After the 20 minutes of baking, remove the tray from the oven and carefully pour the cream cheese over the already baked batter. Place the plums cut-side down, so they caramelize beautifully during baking. Put the tray back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes at moderate heat, until the cream is firm and the cake takes on a golden color.

Once the baking time is over, let the cake cool in the tray so that the flavors can develop. Once cooled, cut it into suitable pieces, and for a pleasant appearance, dust with sugar. This cheesecake with plums is perfect for a snack, a savory dessert, or even to be served on special occasions. Enjoy your meal!
