Total time: 50 minutes
Servings: 8-10
Necessary ingredients:
For the cheese bombs:
- 225 g Delaco cheese
- 50 g coconut
- 100 g sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
For the base:
- 5 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- rum essence (to taste)
For the glaze:
- 70 g milk chocolate
- 25 g butter
Preparing the cheese bombs
1. In a large bowl, add the Delaco cheese, coconut, sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch. Use a spatula or hand mixer to mix the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and fine composition. It's important for the cheese to be at room temperature for easy mixing.
2. Form walnut-sized balls from the cheese mixture and place them on a tray. It's recommended to grease the tray with a little oil and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. This simple method will help you achieve a perfect cake that will easily come off the tray.
Preparing the base
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. This is the moment when the incorporated air will help achieve a fluffy texture for the base.
4. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and instant coffee. Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg composition using a wooden spoon or spatula, being careful not to lose the air in the batter. Finally, add the rum essence for an extra flavor boost.
5. Start pouring the base mixture over the cheese bombs already placed in the tray. Make sure the balls are well covered to integrate perfectly into the cake.
Baking the cake
6. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. It's important to perform the toothpick test: if the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready!
7. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly in the tray. This step will allow the ingredients to settle and combine perfectly.
Delicious glaze
8. In a small bowl, melt the milk chocolate with the butter in a double boiler or microwave, stirring constantly to achieve a smooth glaze. Once the chocolate is completely melted, pour it over the cooled cake. This glaze will add a layer of luxury and enhance the cake's flavor.
9. Let the cake cool completely in the tray, then you can cut it into servings.
