Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15-20 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Servings: 10 Necessary ingredients: *For the base:* - 5 fresh eggs - 5 tablespoons of sugar - 5 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower oil for a neutral taste) - 4 tablespoons of flour - 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder - A pinch of salt - Vanilla and rum essence (a few drops of each) *For the cream:* - 1 kg of sweet cream cheese (we recommend Dr. Oetker for a consistent taste) - 250 g of whipped cream - 200 g of soft butter (at room temperature) - Powdered sugar (about 200 g, depending on preferences) - Vanilla (to taste) *For the syrup:* - Blueberry jam (or any other preferred jam) *For decoration:* - Colorful jelly candies (for a cheerful look) Step-by-step instructions: 1. Preparing the base: - Start by separating the eggs. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and the yolks in another bowl. - Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat them with a mixer until foamy. When they start to stiffen, gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a firm and shiny foam. - In the yolks, add the oil and the vanilla and rum essences. Mix well to combine the ingredients. - Gently fold the yolks into the egg white foam using a spatula to avoid losing air. - Sift the flour mixed with baking powder and gradually incorporate it, continuing to mix gently until well combined. - Line a baking tray of approximately 30x40 cm with parchment paper and pour the mixture evenly, leveling it with a spatula. - Bake the base in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned and passes the toothpick test. 2. Preparing the cream: - In a bowl, beat the soft butter with the powdered sugar until creamy and airy. - Add the cream cheese and vanilla, continuing to mix until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture. - Slowly fold in the whipped cream into the cheese mixture, using a spatula to maintain the light and fluffy texture. 3. Assembling the cake: - Once the base has completely cooled, cut it into 3 equal parts. - On each piece of base, spread a uniform layer of blueberry jam, followed by a layer of cream cheese. - Carefully roll each piece of base into a spiral. Place the rolls on a platter, ensuring they are standing upright. - Once you have formed the cake, cover it completely with the remaining cream, making sure it is evenly distributed. - Decorate the cake with colorful jelly candies for a vibrant and playful look. 4. Serving: - If desired, you can drizzle the cake with a bit of syrup from the jam, creating a shiny and appetizing appearance. - Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the cream to set. Useful tips: - Ensure that the ingredients are at room temperature for better emulsification. - You can experiment with different jam flavors, such as strawberries, peaches, or mixed berries, to create delicious variations. - This spiral cake pairs perfectly with a fruit tea or a sweet white wine that complements the intense flavors. Nutritional benefits: - Sweet cheese provides a considerable protein intake, while sunflower oil offers essential fatty acids. - Blueberry jam is rich in antioxidants, contributing to heart health and the immune system. Frequently asked questions: - Can I make this cake without sugar? Yes, you can use natural sweeteners like stevia or erythritol, but the taste will vary. - How can I store the cake? This cake stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 days. - Can I freeze the cake? We recommend not freezing the assembled cake, but you can freeze the plain base and cream separately. In conclusion, this spiral cake is not only a perfect choice for a festive meal but also a simple dessert to make that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones. So, don't hesitate to prepare it and enjoy every bite!
