To prepare a delicious cheesecake, start by preparing the pan. Grease a round pan with removable sides, with a diameter of 25 cm, and dust it with flour to prevent sticking. Make sure every corner of the pan is covered so that the cake releases perfectly at the end.
Next, it's time to take care of your ingredients. Gather everything you need, including the aromatic seeds of a vanilla pod, to give your cake a refined taste. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, both the whites and yolks, together with the sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to achieve a fluffy and smooth mixture. Once the sugar has melted and the mixture has become creamy, add the seeds of the vanilla pod and continue mixing, allowing the flavors to blend.
The next step is to incorporate the cottage cheese. Add the cheese gradually and mix on a low speed to avoid lumps. The melted butter, added gradually, will enrich the texture of the mixture. Continue mixing, ensuring everything is well incorporated. Then, add the flour, also gradually, and mix on a low speed to avoid the formation of air bubbles. Semolina will add a pleasant consistency, so don’t forget to add that as well, continuing to mix.
To finish the mixture, add the sour cream, preferably crème cuisine, which is thermally stabilized, and mix on the lowest speed. Now it’s time to incorporate the raisins. Use a spatula to distribute them evenly in the mixture, ensuring that every piece of cake will have their sweetness.
Once the mixture is ready, pour it into the prepared pan and level the surface with the spatula. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and, once it reaches the desired temperature, place the pan inside. Bake the cake for about 45 - 50 minutes, until it becomes golden and a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. It is important to wait and not rush, so the cake can stabilize. Once it has cooled, keep it in the refrigerator until serving. If you want to add a touch of elegance, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on the surface of the cake just before serving. This cheesecake will surely be a delight that will impress everyone who tastes it!
