Cheese and Fanta Cream Cake: a refreshing dessert full of memories Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Number of servings: 12 I invite you to discover a special recipe together, full of flavor and nostalgia – the cheese and Fanta cream cake. This delicacy is not just a dessert, but also a tribute to my relationship with my dear brother and beloved cousin, from whom I learned the recipe. The Fanta cream is a personal innovation meant to bring a touch of freshness and joy to every slice. Necessary ingredients: *For the base:* - 6 eggs - 6 tablespoons of sugar - 4 tablespoons of flour - 3 tablespoons of cocoa - 90 ml of oil - 1 packet of baking powder - 1 essence of rum *For cream 1:* - 200 g of powdered sugar - 800 g of cottage cheese - Zest of one lemon - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 300 g of butter (at room temperature) *For cream 2:* - 1 liter of Fanta (or another orange-flavored carbonated drink) - 2 packets of vanilla sugar - 4 egg yolks - 6 tablespoons of flour - 3-4 tablespoons of starch - 6 tablespoons of sugar Step-by-step preparation: 1. Preparing cream 2: We start with the Fanta cream, as it needs to cool before assembling the cake. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla sugar, flour, and starch. Gradually pour in the Fanta, stirring well to avoid lumps. Then, put the remaining Fanta on the heat. When it starts to boil, add the egg yolk mixture and stir continuously over low heat until the cream thickens. Let it cool slightly, then place it in a container and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent a crust from forming. 2. Preparing the base: Start by separating the eggs. Wash them well and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a firm foam. Incorporate the yolks one by one, mixing gently. After adding the oil, mix the flour with the cocoa and baking powder. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the egg composition, stirring with a spatula from bottom to top to maintain the airiness of the base. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the mixture. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the base for 20 minutes. Use the toothpick test to check if it is baked. Once the base is ready, carefully detach it from the paper and let it cool completely. 3. Preparing cream 1: In a bowl, cream the soft butter with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until it becomes a creamy mixture. Add the cottage cheese and lemon zest, mixing well until smooth. 4. Assembling the cake: Place the cooled base on a platter. Spread cream 1 (the cheese one) evenly over the cocoa base. Then, add cream 2 (the Fanta one) over the first cream, smoothing the surface with a wet knife for an even appearance. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and make the slices much easier to cut. 5. Serving: When you are ready to serve the cake, take it out of the fridge and cut it with a wet knife. This will help achieve clean and beautiful slices. The cake can be sprinkled with a little powdered sugar for an elegant appearance or served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which will perfectly complement the flavors. Useful tips: - I recommend using high-quality cottage cheese to achieve a creamy and tasty filling. - Fanta can be replaced with any other citrus-flavored carbonated drink, but make sure it has a pleasant and fresh taste. - It is important to respect the cooling times, as this will affect the final texture of the cake. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of oil instead of sunflower oil? Yes, you can use canola or light olive oil, but avoid oils with a strong flavor. - How can I store the cake to keep it fresh? You can keep it in the fridge, covered, for 3-4 days. - Can I add fresh fruits to the cream? Yes, you can add pieces of oranges or citrus fruits to cream 2 for an extra flavor boost. Now that you have all the necessary information, all that’s left is to start cooking. This cheese and Fanta cream cake will surely bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones and turn any occasion into an unforgettable moment. Enjoy your meal!
