### Ingredients:
- 6 egg whites
- 200 g sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 100 ml oil (preferably sunflower or olive)
- 200 g flour
- 1 packet baking powder (10 g)
- 100 g raisins (optional, but recommended)
- 4-5 tablespoons Finetti (or other chocolate spread)
- Powdered sugar for decoration

### Step 1: Preparing the meringue
In a large bowl, start by beating the egg whites with a mixer on medium speed. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a glossy and firm meringue. It is important that the bowl is clean and free of fats for the egg whites to whip properly. An effective method is to ensure the bowl is dry and to use a quality mixer.

### Step 2: Creating the yolk mayonnaise
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the oil until you obtain a creamy mixture, similar to mayonnaise. This will add a rich and smooth texture to your cake. It is recommended to use quality oil, as it will influence the final taste of the dessert.

### Step 3: Combining the ingredients
Incorporate the yolk mixture into the meringue using a large spatula. Do this carefully to avoid losing air from the egg whites. Then, sift the flour and baking powder in a rain-like manner, mixing gently until homogeneous. This technique will prevent lumps from forming and ensure a fluffy texture.

### Step 4: Preparing the pan and assembling the cake
Prepare a round cake pan lined with baking paper. If you don’t have a special pan, you can improvise by using a glass to cut circles out of baking paper. Pour some of the mixture into the pan, then sprinkle a layer of raisins. Continue to add more mixture, alternating with spoonfuls of Finetti. These will provide an intense chocolate flavor, perfect for dessert lovers. Add more mixture again and finish with a few raisins on top.

### Step 5: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes. You can check if it’s done by doing the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the cake is perfectly baked.

### Step 6: Finishing and serving
After removing it from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before taking it out of the pan. Decorate with powdered sugar for an elegant look and serve warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious and simple, perfect for a Sunday afternoon!

### Possible variations:
- You can add chopped nuts or almonds for a crunchy texture.
- Replace raisins with chocolate chips or dried fruits for a tropical note.
- Experiment with flavors by adding vanilla or rum essence to the mixture.

This dessert is not only easy to prepare but also versatile, easily adapting to your preferences. Enjoy it with your loved ones and savor every delicate bite of this fluffy crown!
