Japanese-inspired cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For cooking, you will need only 3 ingredients: white chocolate, soft cheese curd (Philadelphia cheese is best suited) and chicken eggs of category C1.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare a detachable baking dish with a diameter of 26 cm. Inside, we lubricate the mold with vegetable oil, spread a circle of baking paper equal to the diameter of the mold on the bottom, spread wide strips of baking paper on the sides. It is worth paying special attention to the detachable shape. It should be very airtight so that no water from the baking tray gets inside. Just in case, the form can be wrapped with foil from the outside.

3. Step 3:

   

   We start working with white chocolate. We break it into small pieces and put it in a bucket. We install the ladle on a water bath and begin to heat the chocolate, stirring it with a spatula. You should get a single white mass without lumps.

4. Step 4:

   

   Remove the ladle from the water bath and add the softened cheese to the melted chocolate, mix and set the ladle aside. The mass should cool down a little.

5. Step 5:

   

   Break the eggs, separating the whites from the yolks. We put the bowl with proteins in the refrigerator.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the yolks into the cooled mass in a ladle and mix.

8. Step 7:

   

   Beat the cooled proteins into a very strong foam.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add the whipped whites to the mass: first, we introduce 1/4 of the proteins, mix gently, and then add the remaining proteins and mix as well.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour the resulting dough into the prepared form. We put the form in a baking tray, into which we pour warm water. We put the cake to bake first at 170oC for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature for 10 minutes and bake for another 15 minutes, after which we turn off the oven and leave the cake in the oven for another 15 minutes. We take out the mold, let it cool down, then carefully remove the cake from the mold.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cut the finished cake into 8 pieces and assemble two slices of cake consisting of 4 parts each. Since the cake turns out to be wet, all four parts are held tightly and do not move off each other. Sprinkle the cake pieces with powdered sugar and decorate to your taste.
