Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30-40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

*For the cake base:*
- 6 large eggs
- 150 g sugar (for the batter)
- 200 g sugar (for the cream)
- 200 g butter
- 125 g butter (for the glaze)
- 50 ml oil
- 100 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 50 g cocoa
- 20 g cocoa (for the glaze)
- 1 kg sweet cheese (well-drained cottage cheese)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- a few tablespoons of fruit syrup (for soaking)
- 1 vanilla essence or orange essence

Preparation:

1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is important to have clean and dry bowls to achieve perfectly whipped egg whites.

2. Preparing the yolk mixture: In a bowl, mix the yolks with 50 ml of oil and 150 g of sugar. Use a mixer to obtain a smooth and fluffy mixture.

3. Mixing the dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and the 50 g of cocoa. This combination will add a gentle chocolate note to your batter.

4. Whipping the egg whites: Begin whipping the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When they start to become frothy, gradually add 150 g of sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a glossy meringue.

5. Combining the mixtures: Add the yolk mixture to the bowl with the whipped egg whites, then fold in the dry ingredients mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine everything, so as not to lose the air from the meringue.

6. Preparing the baking pan: Grease a baking pan with butter or margarine and dust it with flour. This will prevent the cake from sticking.

7. Baking the base: Pour the batter into the pan and place it in the preheated oven at 160°C (low heat) for 30-40 minutes. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the base is ready.

8. Preparing the cheese cream: In a saucepan, melt 200 g of butter. Add 200 g of sugar and stir until the sugar melts and the mixture becomes smooth. Incorporate the well-drained sweet cheese and vanilla essence. Let the cream cool for 30 minutes.

9. Assembling the cake: Once the base has cooled slightly, soak it with fruit syrup to give it moisture and a special flavor. Spread the cheese cream evenly over the soaked base.

10. Preparing the glaze: In a saucepan, melt 125 g of butter. Add 100 g of sugar, 20 g of cocoa, and cornstarch. Mix well to avoid lumps and let it thicken slightly.

11. Finishing the cake: Pour the glaze over the cheese cream and smooth it out with a spatula. Refrigerate the cake for a few hours so that it sets.

12. Serving: When ready to serve, use a knife dipped in cold water to cut the cake into equal portions. This trick will give you clean and beautiful cuts.

Practical tips:

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth mixture.
- You can also add some dark chocolate chunks or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture.
- If you enjoy citrus flavors, replace the vanilla essence with orange essence for a fresh taste.
