Shaggy cheese and pudding cake
I have a recipe for a long, long time, but I can't try it. The other day I had to take the cake to a friend and since I know that they are cheesecake lovers, I decided to finally try it. We were all delighted with the wonderful taste of the cake, although I used to than I tried it I was a little scared by the look of the filling before baking, but the empty pan said it all :-)
Preparation steps
- For the beaver dough, whisk together the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the egg yolks one by one, mixing lightly and then the sour cream and mix until combined. Finally add the flour mixed with baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until combined.
- Shake the dough on the work surface and mix, then divide it into two parts (or as I explained below into 2 larger and 2 smaller parts), wrap it in plastic foil and leave it in the freezer for about 2 hours.
- Prepare the filling by whipping the egg whites with sugar and vanilla well, add the ricotta, lemon zest and finally the pudding that we previously mixed in a bowl with the cooking cream.
- Mix everything at a slow speed for about one minute to combine well.
- Take out the first part of the dough and spread it between two plastic foils and transfer it to a greased baking tray. Spread the filling over the dough and then grate the other part of the dough over the filling.
- Bake at 175 degrees for 40 minutes.
- Cool the cake and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Serving
#### The cake is very generous, this is a measure for the largest pan. I made it as two cakes, and I got one for a 40 x 26 cm pan and one for a 29 x 20 cm pan. I weighed the dough so that I had two pieces of 500 g each for a larger pan, and two pieces of 300 g each for a smaller one. ######
