To prepare a delicious cherry and cheese cake, start by carefully washing the cherries. Make sure they are fresh and without defects. After washing them, remove the pits and place the fruits in a sieve to drain well from the excess juice. This step is essential to prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
We begin with preparing the batter. In a large bowl, mix the eggs with a pinch of salt and sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and doubles in volume. This process will ensure a fluffy texture for the cake base. Gradually add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix to well integrate the ingredients.
Separately, mix the baking powder with the flour. It is important that these ingredients are well homogenized to avoid lumps in the dough. Gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon, so as not to lose the air in the composition.
Prepare a large baking tray, greasing it with margarine and lining it with baking paper to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour half of the batter into the tray and place it in the preheated oven at medium temperature, letting it bake for about 12 minutes. The base should be lightly browned, but not fully baked, as it will be put back in the oven later.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In another bowl, mix the cheese with the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer to achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream. This composition will add a delicious taste to your cake.
After the base has baked for the first time, remove the tray from the oven and evenly spread the cheese cream over it. Carefully arrange the drained cherries, which you can roll in breadcrumbs before adding them, to absorb the excess moisture. This step will help maintain a pleasant texture.
Pour the remaining batter over the cherries and cheese cream, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Return the tray to the oven, allowing the cake to bake until the surface becomes nicely browned, which will take between 35 and 40 minutes.
When the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the tray. Once cooled, dust it with sugar before cutting and serving. This savory cherry and cheese cake is perfect for sharing with loved ones. Enjoy!
