Necessary ingredients:

- 50 ml of oil (sunflower oil is ideal, but coconut oil can add a pleasant aroma)

- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of flour (white flour is standard, but you can experiment with whole wheat flour)
- A pinch of salt (helps balance the sweetness)

*For the cream cheese filling:*
- 150 g of butter (at room temperature for easy mixing)

- 100 g of powdered sugar (you can adjust the amount according to preferences)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help achieve a uniform and smooth composition.

2. Preparing the base:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color.
- Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder and cocoa, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Incorporate the oil and a pinch of salt, continuing to mix until you achieve a smooth composition.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan.

3. Baking the base:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and place the pan inside.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the batter passes the toothpick test (insert a toothpick in the center of the base, and if it comes out clean, it’s done).

4. Preparing the cream cheese:
- In a bowl, mix the butter with the cheese until you obtain a smooth cream.
- Add the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla essence, then mix well until all ingredients are well integrated.
- Let the cream cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes.

5. Assembling the cheesecake:
- Once the base has cooled, carefully cut it into two layers.
- Place the first layer on a platter, soak it with a spoonful of fruit compote (ask an adult for help if using canned compote).
- Pour the cheese mixture over the first layer, leveling it evenly.
- Place the second layer, soak it again with compote, then spread the whipped cream mixed with cocoa on top.

6. Decorating and cooling:
- If desired, grate some cookies on top for a crunchy appearance.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions:
This cheesecake is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a party, a holiday meal, or simply a relaxing evening at home. Serve it alongside a fragrant tea or a cappuccino for a moment of indulgence.

Possible variations:
If you want to experiment, you can add fresh fruits between the layers of cream or even a layer of fruit jam. Additionally, replacing regular sugar with honey or maple syrup can add a distinct flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
This cheesecake offers a combination of protein from the cheese and healthy fats from the butter, while also being low in sugar if you adjust the amounts. It’s a dessert that can be enjoyed without feeling guilty!

Frequently asked questions:
