Cake with grated dough

To prepare a delicious cake with a filling of egg whites and jam, we will start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, we add the egg yolks and sugar, which we will vigorously beat with a whisk or mixer until the mixture becomes creamy and changes color, turning lighter in shade. This step is essential as it will contribute to the fluffy texture of our cake.

Once we have obtained a homogeneous mixture, we add the margarine, cut into small pieces, which will incorporate more easily into our dough. Then, we sift the flour together with the baking powder to avoid lumps. It is important to mix these dry ingredients with the margarine until we obtain a mixture similar to wet sand. The next step is to add, one at a time, the yolk cream, crumbled yeast, sour cream, and salt. Here, we need to ensure that all ingredients are well integrated but without over-kneading the dough, as we want it to remain tender.

After the dough is homogenized, we divide it into two equal parts, which we will wrap in plastic wrap. These pieces of dough will rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm up and develop flavors. During this time, we prepare the tray, choosing between greasing it with butter and sprinkling it with flour or lining it with baking paper to facilitate the removal of the cake at the end.

Once the resting time has expired, we take half of the dough and grate it directly into the prepared tray, forming an even layer. This will be the base of our cake. On top of this layer, we spread the filling made from whipped egg whites mixed with sugar and the chosen jam, which will add a sweet and aromatic flavor. The last part of the dough is grated again and sprinkled over the filling, and to add a touch of flavor, we sprinkle ground nuts mixed with a little sugar.

The cake is baked in a preheated oven at medium temperature for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface becomes golden and crispy. Once the cake has cooled completely, we dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance and sweet taste. We finish by cutting it into portions, preparing to enjoy each slice, which will bring not only flavor to our table but also unforgettable moments with loved ones. This cake is perfect for an afternoon snack or to be enjoyed on special occasions.
