If you're looking for a quick dessert that brings a touch of joy to every meal, Ruxy's crustless Easter cake is the perfect choice! This cheesecake is not only delicious but also easy to prepare, requiring just a few simple ingredients. Ideal for any occasion, this Easter cake recipe will surely become a favorite in your family. Here’s how to prepare it step by step.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 4 eggs (separate the whites from the yolks)
- 175 g sugar (about 7 tablespoons, adjust to taste)
- 7 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 5 tablespoons yogurt
- 7 tablespoons flour, heaped
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 sachets of vanilla (or to taste)
- Grated zest of 1 lemon

Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. This step is crucial for achieving even baking and perfect texture for the cake.
2. Prepare the baking pan: grease it with butter and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. A pan of about 20x30 cm would be ideal for this recipe.
3. In a large bowl, start beating the egg whites with a mixer until they become frothy. It’s important to achieve a firm consistency, as the incorporated air will help the cake rise.
4. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a glossy meringue. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
5. In another bowl, mix the yolks with the cottage cheese, yogurt, flour, baking powder, vanilla, and grated lemon zest. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
6. Gently fold the meringue into the cheese mixture using a spatula, with light up-and-down motions. This will allow the air to remain in the mixture, giving the cake a light texture.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.
8. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serving:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This cheesecake is delicious both warm and cold. You can serve it plain or with a berry sauce for added flavor. Also, add a bit of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an even more decadent dessert!

Helpful tips:
- Experiment with flavors: try adding a few drops of almond essence or a pinch of cinnamon to diversify the taste.
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained to avoid a too-wet mixture.
- If you want a lactose-free version, replace the yogurt and cottage cheese with their vegan alternatives.

This Ruxy's crustless Easter cake is not just a simple dessert, but a true delight that will bring a smile to anyone who tastes it. Enjoy it with your loved ones and savor every moment of making this treat!
